thanks much, and not to worry Rich i will make it solid easily. just sanding off from those bulwarks and gluing solid wood . V.

pretty Rob. when i see this kind of patience I seriously think , damn, i wish someone just wanted to finish my boat. I dont have patience nor entusiasm or wish for this kind of work starting from gearing and masting up. up to build a body and houses and i am pretty much done. in case someone found anyone to finish my built glory fo himself just turn him on me :)) or in 99 percent maybe ill just leave her as she is painted with buildings and thats it. v.

I cant believe IT. Top of the fancyrail. Im so done. Exhausted. But she IS done. Ať least second big most important super difficult milestone. I Will také IT very easy from now on so there wont be Updates fór weeks or months probably. and except ofvl paint and figurehead. I Wish i could find premade deck somewhere. Will see. I have broken computer so no more adjustments fór bow ornamentals. will be laser cut. Im looking forward tremendously for those. I still need to repair some bow things..but overwall drawings materialised. Im in awe how much Lena angles and photofgraphy distorts. Especially stern. Anglijg and focal length. IT Can be full and short as inichaels drawings and Can be sleek and shallow as well. I believe we hlave All recreated probably as truer Glory of the seas as possible though.

Thanks much Rich, clau arrives tmw im gonna make wired skeletone underjeath today. Will hang photo.

Back to stern sheer etc. Kicked myself to that finally. ..upper molding missing but its final shape ...

Ok Rob thanks for catch. Will Remember and return to that when polishing it.

This is view I was longing for for almost two year now, and haunted my inner weird fella to try building it. sweet Congrats Rob. Rich nailed it as well. in that photograph there was it...we retured to it uncounted times....

Rob, ill try modeling out of selfdrying clay....i think its too small for carving. way too small...at least for me. but atill bigger than yours. 32 mm in length/ tall. 1 &1/4 of inch.

Good observation Rob. definite mistake i made. i will try to unglue front bit of molding. but i will also have to add little piece on molding so there will be joining gap. ill try to make it invisible. still far cry from that as Ill have to contact my laser cut guy for ornamentals...trowing towell in boxers arena = accpeting challenge as we use to say here...

Ok gentlemen. towel trown in ring. Greek goddess. only if i know how to make her :)) challenge accepted but....only going to start thinking about it. im going to soak myelf in ideas. till i come up with something to discuss than V.

Sweet Rob, minuscule clean details , perfect.

Fine work Rich. Very familiar ship.:)

Rob, frankly, im not really sure what solid monkey rail means. I had really though tíme to think Bulwark and Columns sizes with calculating space for rails as i almost so so reached top of bowsprit and little above. This monkey rail IS tad little Higher at stern side a little narrower ať how. Just to fit in nameboard. but finally im Happy overal. IT was really challenging as i had to Keep sheer angle always samé as buidling Up from IT ....there still IS plenty to revise as navalhood plate goes under molding so i Will have to repair that part - i just forgot , but i want to finish this All procedúre in one to and have long long deserved break before i paint. V. Also there get s one " mistake" to fall IT such- you figured probably that main rial should be samé thickness more less than sheerline mold but i had to Made IT tad thinner to make monkey rail wide enough and to Keep rest in good corelation sizewise....

Much apreciated Rob.

How did i make grooves. I must say i still somehow struggle with molding grooves. Finally i think i found a way that satisfyingly brings baswood almost to 95 percent od boxwood with no fuzzies. Well IT Will never match IT but.... How did i go. 1. Slight TRIM of edges with 270 grit. 2. Thin line with scraper. 3. Widenijg line with thicker point of scraper. 4. I Made sharpened Stick of hard Wood but blanded tip of IT. I run IT as last and here are the pics. Those are pretty macro so by eyesight there IS basically no fuzz. I mušt check how others do IT but fór the moment im Happy. There IS one smaller 1/3 grooves and one 2/3 fór the glory sheer.

Rob, sometimes writing is not perfect thing for communication specifically if one is not extremly cautious when putting words - myself i mean. I didnt find humor in oversight but in Rich way of using words and commenting ... ( in an easy humorous tone I suspect.)....no offence meant. V.

looking forward to see it. good luck. V.

...

Rob, there IS certainly no need to be sorry. Yes i scrape with old artesania latina scrapers. Modified. Im finding Way how to scrape even those not fitting in...v.

...

Complete look Up from waterways, sheerline, big Columns, pinrail, main rail, fancy rail and cover....without fancy rail inlays and upper cover decoration on mold. Layerv upon layer.. Ať this point i start thinking She was overdecorated. Nope, Ohh i love it. Starting fancy rail inner decoration...

What i like about life IS IT gives me a good laugh sometimes. In agood way . Its perfectly norl we sometimes dont päť attention to details etc. By the way Folks you May check progress on inner bulwarks V.

This IS how IT Will be.. So many gaps to fill around Columns...its already line upon line ..but IT looks quite a lot real to me. I Made main rail mold scraping pattern ...thick and thin strakes... Main rail and thinmer pinrail below attached. Im trying smallish molding on monkey rail how IT Will look like. Not sure...looking from above when top cover Will be added there wont be visible a tímy bit on topgallant rail but from deck perspektíve pretty much .....what you think? V.

it was not Rich !

Hello, Some update here. Basically, after tremendous work , body od the ship IS practically finished with Minor work to do finishing planking stern counter. I must say it was really challenging journey for me, i wouldnt complete IT as my first or second model no Chance. I must say im so Happy i didnt use any tool for bending - was not necessary! Fór the way i did IT. At this point glory profile IS finished Up to the monkey rail....m id like to stress few adjustments. I widened fcastle and poop rail Columns for simple reason - topgallant cover must sit on something thicker than or 1.5 milimeter surface. I plan to start with decorative moldings tomorrow so hopefully there Will be a lot to commemt ( gopefully not swear anyway i plan to use Also miniatures molding on fancy rail for same very reason - widen surface to sit the top on IT...I made little sanding toop to sand famous 8 planks Strike IT Worked. Sheer profile from inner side already decorated. I know i know that pattern. I Will try better....anyway, i ditched idea of expensive boxwood. IT Will be painted so Well Worked like Wood makes almost same output with fraction of cost... Fingers crossed as adding pirails main rail and monkey from the innner side. Few pics from now. V. Oh as you Can see i practically almost destroyed bowsprit at this point - Will have to repair IT. No Chance i could work on stand. I have to hold the Boat many times , turn IT vigorously when sanding i coundnt work otherwise. and sometimes crash IT....
