That looks great, Gary! I've been working on chapter 9 as well and agree that not using CA was a good choice on the timberheads. I didn't use any glue on the railing, either. Just friction and the paint holds it in place. But I don't think it's going anywhere.

This is stunningly gorgeous, Karen! You have so many amazing carvings! -
JJ, how did you make that beautiful figurehead? I was just looking more closely at it and it looks so amazing. I'd love to know a little about the process you used.

I’m nearly done with chapter 9 and want to show some of my progress. As you can see, it hasn’t been without problems. I broke the forecastle rail on both sides. I’ve repaired the port side, which broke at the third timberhead opening while I was sanding the edge. The starboard broke the same way, but got much worse while I was trying to finish the installation. It was back together and then came apart while I was trying to slide the rail into the right elevation. I’m going to let the glue dry on the timber heads and then fix the railing. I’m pretty sure I can fix it and hide the repair.

HMS Granado by ir3 - CAF - 1:48 - POF

That's amazing progress! I'm so glad you persevered through the frame 25 problems. I'm looking at the template issue and it looks like the 3d image shows either a notch for the sill or the sill and template occupying the same space. Are the deck clamps made for you or do you have to cut them out of wood stock? -
This looks like an excellent project, JJ! I’m very excited for you and looking forward to following your progress.

I really struggled to find the area that you painted black. Do you mean between the molding and the grating? You did a fantastic job of it and I can imagine that it would have looked weird if you hadn't done so. That had to be some tricky masking and painting! It looks amazing, Rusty! You've done a fantastic job.

Your head rails are beautiful, Rusty! The last two grating slats look like they will be tricky.
