Rail IS on with proper height and thickness front. A bit of cheat there. Forward Columns are properly thinned to scale. Rest IS left i finally dont have nerves to deal with that stuff....so ať the back - . Iittle Imagination to be used. Please dont complain about that its second batch of 45 Columns shaping every each with hands. Im Happy they are proper height and thickness front. Thanks for view or any comment. :)V. Finally i broke ladder making IT smaller to púť IT under step. I got angry Generálly i really dont care fór such details. I would be pretty much Happy leaving those Up. In my view IT doeant add any more autenticity for me. Because than going that way fór autenticity They should be Also shaped and angled properly.maybe other time i Will do IT. . I did IT with 1:24 cutty sark but here i dont really care. Give me laser cut prototype any day :)) as far as height of companionways...doors are 1 inch of height. I doubt they Made those Higher than len height quite contrary. So i uplifted IT with platform and leaving IT as IT IS. v.

Some pics here from past week work... Added middle frames into Windows - no glass AS it only draws dust and creates mess Rudder in progress Coppering finally completed... Overall photos on deck with scraper unfinished rail and not yetade rear companionways are older i already lowered small kitchen house so its lower than big cabin next.

I Will post today. Finally finishing house rail which gave me month struggle. She IS 3 D printed. But just a figure so i had to tweak hands and Legs to position....but naked figure. I thought IT Will be easier to dress her Up. Anyway. Already mali by rudder ! V.

Thanks Rich. Its still little bit complicated than that. We Can argue indefinitely about importance of figurehead but i dáte say its pretty much Eastern effort in these scale od clipper. There IS no possibility get any decent looking detail there unless properly 3d draw and print. I was All over figurehead before, but i changed mind recently. Even cutty sark Revell plastic figure IS useless in my opinion.... What i focused was proper female body proportions and outcome.even 3 mm Higher and Lega properly laid on both pedestals, ...having her properly dressed in that thing is torture.... Its not botheringe at All at this point ať least i tried one Can FOCUS on different things. V.

naked Goddess under white toga blanket above her knees so Her erotic feminine shape IS not covered....i cannot believe how small She IS in real. Some pics are macros. Decoupage used to produce as natural veil of toga ....with thin rice paper.Body and hands shaped under flameTHick Wet spray used to smooth 3d printed body to create smooth white resblance of Wood /stone sculptures...

few days and hands full of updates. Superb rail Rob. Amazing. so my rail will look like in paintings. varnished with white top :). nameboard story - thanks for article. V.

Thanks for comments folks, likes included. Youre right Rich, its not completed yet, it will be higher few things are missing there. also platform etc. will worktoday on it. @ Rob. i will post overall pics littel house included.

Few more Updates of news and revisions...Still lots of work on back. Wheelhouse got New proper pearl coat. Some way out at the back of Carriagehouse Made... Updated entire Carriagehouse with "paneling" Windows got underneath so got another dimension and paneling is only suggested but i think its sufficient enough. To me at least. Carriagehouse rail Will go Down AS its still out of scale- very high. New Columns Will be another 2 mm smaller and nicer. Just an idea. Its suppose to be reaching trousers off Working men as on photographs so IT must be exactly 10 mm of height iny scale If that rail IS not changed over the years. Thor size should be approx size pf Windows. Slightly Higher columns than on poopdeck.

Rich your sketches are really tempting me to rework carriagehouse sides and back to panelled homogenous structure!!! aaaargh...:)))

Exactly Rob. thanks for comments, as far as your build, i will watch with joy how all masting splendor adds up...your is very cllassy color consistent you clearly know what you are doing every single step. that middle frame of window must be hair thin. hair! I wont go further not even davits or boats as I consider those added equipment not fastened element. looks like i will soon photo her as was my original plan and im even beyond. to get her hull done as on famous shipyard photo... so im close to raising a flag on her swing the bottle and let McKays daughter christen her. still important part as rudder, finish rail and one side to copper though in front of me.... . and little surprise to the bow . its strange feeling two years back when I was looking first time in mi life at photos of american clippers in awe, dreaming one day i should try to build one from the kit. never built one american before ending up joined constructing Glory of the seas from scratch was long learning fun journey, altogether ... and even in the paperwork there were a moments i thought it may end up disastrous ( on my side) up to the point I was half planking and raising up feom the waterline i was still pretty nervous how bow rake would appear...:)) but with your company it was well conducted like a man leading fine orchestra :)) stop now as i must seem sound like weeping lady, story still continues....we are not there yet. we know the miss glory pretty well at this point dont we ?

Hello, Pics spam from recent update...IT s getting bloody crowded there. All handmade pieces. That railing Columns are PAIN! Did i say pita? Yes. Its so sloww... decided to bore upper rail Columns Down to the floor AS its on real vessel. thanks much. Its still pretty lonely on the ship i miss some figurines there yet. vy the way im pretty close to wrap ať this point. Cant believe. this IS the state i wanted her to display. Hull and complete wooden installations on vessel finished in All her wooden Glory , and No other equipment. Soon to celebrate. V.

exquisite Rob. bravo!

seeing how revell failed to reproduce even such easy and important thing as stern curvature of existing ship cutty sark faithfully - its probably better not touching Mr. Mckay fleet ...

Oh yess...maybe one day i Will panel sides and rear AS Well..V.

Thanls George. I basically attached selfgluing tape, smoother it and with back of the cutter made simulation line...at the groove line i cut off excess and continued... i cut approx 30 cm tape ...

oh yes i completely frogot them brackets...vrrr vrrr.lets revise tmw

Thanks Folks. Be IT pearl then.

Great info Rich, much appreciated. Im going to check IT. Im sure i dont need to change anything forecastle IS ok main i forgot one important thing that fooled me probably from Michaels book photo with the ňou takej from very atď facing forward. I forgot that bow IS Well Raider so fór that seemed to me that fcastle IS almost front Canin Bright which IT surely cant be..:) now something Actual progress...

oh thats lovely. thumb up. V.

it was correct adress Eich , Than i am relieved and you can be as well

Thanks Rich, i think at the end i will collect these sektches and hang on the wall together will main poster.

Thanks Rob, and everyone. im glad coppering effort turned out proper. journey continues

Few exciting news ( at least for me). Advice fór Using tápe was best oné ever. Thanks folks. Its cleanest work of All . Enjoyed IT enormously. I sheathed one side in two goes two Evenings. But ran out of tape. I cant emphasis enough how overal look of vessel changed towards shipshape breauty. She will soon be ready to dance. meanwhile i got small rail Columns and im over the moon for them how beautifull and close they are to original. I still have plenty bigger ones to diminish so i decided to finish another side od copper first as i Can turn her over and rails Will be after touch. so that from me fór a while im Working on small buildings but IT Will také some more time for sure.... hope you enjoy pics. V. ....

Eich Ok i see it now. Thanks for headup.
