  1. Lower deck canons installed. Resuming finishing and correcting some areas in need.
  2. I decided to start adding the lower deck cannons before continuing with the deck finishing efforts.
  3. Henrik - Glad to hear you are well on your way to a sound and healthy recovery. Your Aggie is a beautiful ship and I’m sure you will be back at it when the time is right. Take care my friend:)
  4. The skid beam pillars are also shown in McKay’s ‘The 100-Gun Ship Victory’, page 38. Rails are depicted on page 40, but the rail material is not specified.
  5. Thanks Allan. The skid beam pillars are shown in Longridge’s book ‘The Anatomy of Nelson’s Ships’, Plan #1. See attached. I’ll look at the railings. In either case, they both were included with the kit and shown in the instructions.
  6. Installing the ropes between the quarterdeck railing. Challenge is keeping the rope taut as I work the knots. Here was the process for the first rope. I’ll look in the rigging section for tips on doing this correctly. Other than that, perhaps YouTube may have some tutorials I can watch.
  7. Thank’s for your kind offer Gregory. The balusters match up pretty well per the drawings with the mods shown. I just wanted to ensure I wouldn’t need them later. These 4 should do:)
  8. Looking for some help here folks. I’m starting the belfry buildup and not certain if I should be using the shown columns. It’s not clear in the Mamoli directions shown. I don’t want to use these in the belfry only to find out the pieces are required somewhere else in the build. It appears they would need to be modified as shown. Appreciate any thoughts on the matter. Thanks in advance!
  9. More finishing work. A small hand held/powered drill was very helpful in making the holes.
  10. Have we defined what is meant by ‘completed’ or ‘Finished’? I’m not trying to be flippant here, but just wanting to know. My intent is to finish my Mamoli Victory in the below configuration. I do not intend on including masts and rigging. If so, would that be considered as complete?
