  1. I think he's asking you. Hope you don't mind, here's some enlargements: I had been thinking that it needed a sill under the doors otherwise the inboard ones wouldn't open properly. St Albans (1687) probably.
  2. It is indeed. Dan, here's a few more clues: https://www.arbeitskreis-historischer-schiffbau.de/mitglieder/modelle/roemerschiff-victoria/ https://roemerschiffe.de/victoria/ Looking at the last shot I see the midships moulds look to be arcs and the other moulds use the same arc rotated. Taking the above and adding it to This: Gives: Certainly not 100% right but perhaps 90%? It doesn't include the bow or stern either.
  3. For me, I think a tighter radius works. I also think it would look better if the spacing between the columns and adjacent panels was evened out but that's probably just me.
  4. I suspect that the verticals were indeed vertical and that the horizontals followed the curve of the deck (but were actually straight lines themselves) except perhaps at the head. This would make the panels parallelograms (except the outside ones and perhaps the middle ones). The five columns (blue) were probably proud of the 'wall'. But there's also a good chance I'm wrong. The standard answer is 'make a jig', it may take twice as long but it will give better results.
  5. Next two counter timbers done. Also some planking, a wale, the counter and stern roughly mocked up. I think the counter is going to need a slight curve on the sides.
  6. Brain fade. 2' tall in the middle, 4' x 4' square, 2 windows each side, hinged centre panel in the roof either side. Azimuth compass a couple of feet forward of it (not shown in this pic), binnacle forward of that.
  7. A tiny update representing a lot of head bashing. The inner pair of counter timbers: I had to remove 'deck beam' 18 to get them in, all six will be attached to it before being installed as an assembly. I thought I had the outer counter timbers worked out (several times) but I think I'll have to give up and do them in multiple pieces like Chuck did Cheerful.
  8. I think this is all I've got. The photo seems to confirm the sketch in that it shows the top glass is very steep (behind the guy's legs on the right).
  9. Greg, A few more thoughts, No glue, just press fit. Or at worst a tiny dab of PVA on exposed surfaces that can be chiselled off later. 1/4" dowel stepping down at the ends. Perhaps in segments with couplers, slide the coupler along and the dowel is 'cut'. You could cut the disks with side cutters/wire cutters to remove them. Some thin C.A. into the end grains before boring should give a smoother hole.
  10. I haven't fully thought this out but perhaps bore out these disks to take a shaft for alignment? Then your supports could support the shaft and be standardised, some fixed to a base some moveable to wherever you're working.
  11. Thanks Tony. Biggest worry at the moment (apart from everything else) is the MDF bulwarks, I have to fair one side unsupported so that I can plank or line them so they are supported to fair the other 🤷‍♂️
  12. Some progress, in a forwards direction Build board built, 'deck beams' bent, everything glued up to and inc the 'deck beams'. Wale being test fitted (again), waterway being worked out (they're next I think). After the waterways it'll have to be the counter timbers, that will be fun.
  13. First issue with the drawings, moulds 2 and 4 have the labels swapped, 2 should be 4 and 4 should be 2.
