Keith, Thank you very much! Thank you all very much for all the likes! Making progress on the bulwarks! I need to pay attention to the scupper and framing locations for the Magenta!

Very nicely done!

I’m paying very close attention to how the Solferino’s bulwarks are going together. I’ll be copying the cross section drawings, in scale, over to Magenta’s plans.
-
Very nicely done!
-
The first layer of the bulwarks is on: I will have to use these pictures heavily when it comes time to design the build up of Magenta’s bulwarks.

Yep, and it will make a good story about how I dinged my truck building model ships, lol.

Thank you all very much for the comments and the likes! I bought a stand for Magenta today: When you rearrange your house means that you are fully committed to your project, lol. I also put the first ding in my new truck, hauling this and a couple pieces of furniture, for the Admiral, today. Oh well, I bought it for a work truck, lol.

I finally got a chance to work on my model! The rudder is done: And the stern is ready for the rudder installation: And installed: I pinned it in place. Here’s the Solferino: Currently working on the bulwarks and getting ready to build the stacks (These are the pieces that need doubled):

Looking good! This is a time consuming process, but you will be very pleased with the end result.

If you’re looking for mediaeval miniatures, I’m not sure what the exact scale conversion is, but 32mm scale (28mm is 1/56) seems to be a very popular scale among the wargaming and rpg crowd these days. I just did the math. 32mm scale is approximately 1/48 scale.

Very cool!

Your work on the Tiger is simply amazing! Days like this are why coffee was invited.

Yes, they’re still in use. They’re the nautical equivalent of a turn signal or brake light, (or reverse lights in this case) like you’d see on a standard car. They communicate safety information about who has right of way, whether a ship has restricted maneuverability, has divers in the water or that sort of thing. The day shapes are the daytime equivalent of the running lights you see at night.

I believe it’s where you marked “or here”, but I could be wrong.

That looks like a commercial x-band or navigation radar antenna. The day shape configuration is weird, but I think it means that the ship is anchored (I could be wrong). However, typically there would only be one ball for being at anchor, which is what makes it weird.
