Rob I cant emphasize enough how beautiful your work and outcome is. I admire it very much in your scale is simply wow. . amazing to look at her just beautiful. V.

Rich have i mentioned how much i like your artistry/ drawing? if not i do again. its really something. so clear with littel shading. if you are for it and patient enough with me im so looking forward to time when we discuss cabins ...and there is plenty of those artistry oh .... steel endidng of rail is surprising to me did they copy cutty sark ? joking it was probably fancy modern eelgant feature of late 18 century throughout continents apparently. gosh i have headache those inner moldings believe or not make 1 milimeter in my scale ! now it is impossible to make line in middle ( i bet no problem for Rob ! but im not that good in miniatures so i will try what can i do. ) it looks astounding on paper.

Oh yes.thanks Folks. No need to apologize Rich, besides i didnt work on IT yet. I see clearly now that main mold Has only two ! Ornamental Lines, one below IS pinrail attached. Samé topgallant. Looks All settled now. Thanks much.V.

Some quick Updates...plenty to work on.

Rich this would be very great as i constructed it the way it would g oalong from q deck to poop. it seems Michael did included those little moldings in his book or drew their position ! superb. im not sure yet how or if to include those as those would be miniatures. should I try ? V.

Thanks much Rob, i must say this monkey and rails part its most difficult so far. Challenging to keep all measures true and curvature and so on... still made few small mistakes i will elaborate on later but overall its not so shabby i hope. i will add more pics tomorrow. V.

Amazing. I found another tricky hidden ornamentals detail showing that glory was really overwgelmed by ornamentation. There IS another couple of small molding from immer side od monkey rail which IS clearly visible when looked closely at photo. Its really something . Sorry for quality of drawing i Also magnified detail. I have one question my friends - pinrail follows All line along bulwarks or IT IS just in places around masts? Sorry my english IS terrible. Thank you.

Spoiler...:)

Rob, i found a new way im no longer cutting curvature as teplote pre - drew by pencil but i use thinmer strikea so IT bends naturally only by the eyes. ...if that what you are asking...

Rob, Did glory get these instalments ? Seems to me from Michael book.

Rich, Rob You are helping me a great deal thanks a milion. I already have those numbers in head by now, its very useful. I must stress one thing though. There are compromisses in build and those include there instalments, not in measures but in style. There Will be less than 8 miniatures strakes but 6 little wider - butvthose are still in my scale ratio as main planks are Also wider than original. Hovewer I definitely want to maintain aestetic and form structure with 2 6" outsided planks from hull. I always jave to Keep eye on sheer line profile from back to bow and install on IT strakes with samé thickness so i could sand Bulwark Columns correctly... When it comes to moldings decoration, Im not there get. I want to Keep IS as beautiful and faithful as possible doing IT with boxwood. As ornamentals are from both sides of main rail and top rail, im installing middle wood to that i Will glue molded strakes from both sides. But IT wont be soon i dont have such Wood but found a suplier in hrany so ...far from IT yet. Gopefully i Will complete rails this week and poden structural form od Boat hull Will be pretty much completed.this IS today progress. I run to one issue though. Forecaatle bulkheads appear little Higher than shpuld be so i have to cut those and lower them a bit nothing tragic. Here IS the progress. Always thanks for looking in etc....i took magnified photo by my macro feature from book to check molding detail

George I was looking at planksheer on plan myself not sure how to replicate it. i didnt know how untill i tried to experiment. at the end i fou d out i can run 2.5 mm strip to proper angle and fix it temporarily with thin wire not gluing. once fastened i run precut horizontal pieces along so that i glue one and than i make a gap by sticking false dolumn and follow next border with glue pushing it firmly towards column - iat the end column is difficult to take out and another to insert which ensures snug fit for angled clumns. so far im pretty satisfied it works perfectly. V.

great idea George. I wish you patience and firm nerves. but outcome will compensate the effort. V.

very pretty Rob.

i would say upper part ( not know the name) should be way smaller in diameter comparing to massive bowsprit . it looks almost the same on pic. I rescaled original diameter when making mine. id be lazy but its up to you V.

Ok than. noted. I will try to observe it and fill in. Thank you . V.

Rich yes its 1:96revell plastic indeed. On that photos i got new mobile phone with quite aparently useful and pretty nice macro feature so im trying to use it here and there. i must say it magnifies it hugely. cant wait taking ornamentation down with it . Dont worry Rich modeling should be fun ! so there is no pressing or anything. sure i got better after two quite a years but fo example i will never return to soldering as i danaged my hands skin. but recovered hopefully fully. but it took a year and it was nasty. so i made some irreparable mistakes and i ahould have started with easier models. but well here we are. almost painting Glory ! gosh. im playing with an idea id like you to see my glory in person so when is ready without masts i wll probably send her to you guys to inspect her in person well im not sure how crqzy that idea is but ...anyway. have a good weekend my friends.

Thanks Rob, yes that was trickiest part. I tried to follow plans and natural curvature of hull below, although i regret a little bit i should lean them even more inside in the middle not striaght but i Can live with that. Im opened to aby comment or observation although iwpuld not be Happy reworking it. But IT surely doeant look like Michaels sharp turn off coverboard rather like between his and flying fish very long convex Curve. Seems we have it identical more or lesa. I Will check on IT more tmew, Im curious what Rich Has to say. Evening them was not easy so i focused on that to make sure there IS no ugly bump in the line. V. My fleet mammoth and his little sister from same year.

...Bulwark stanchions angles were smoothered and rounder ( as much as All wooden corners...) So i did try to be honest to this idea... I didnt copy any method looked how its done by model expo but invented my own process how to firmly fasten them. Helped by stringer as my usual friend here...filled holes ať the end. IT was beautiful day ....looks like waterways Will get color soon ! I mušt say there IS something astonishing following almost original process ...so much to learn and so far entire Boat IS wooden. Wow. When i stand a person in scale IT was Mammoth! Thanks for watching comment etc...Everyone have good weekend ! V.

I aplaud Rob. Well observed and truly believably executed. in your tiny scale this is mastery really. you getting dressed her by jevwellery already , soon to be ready go dancing

Its raining All day long so i have moved along today....entire poop IS done.

Exactly Rob. Noone knows what future brings, and with covid Madness i Can be thrown workless lazying in winter maybe i Will get joy to make plates who knows. Fór this im leaving coppering off my back...but im sure when i paint half black IT would be hunting le to get done test of the hull AS Well ...Will see...

Yeah, I would never accepted copper red myself Once i discovered lovely muntz 😉 be IT Liverpool shipped or American one ..

One could think there IS not much to do now...hell yeah. My package arrives tmw.and i faired waterways to round angle with 320 grit, and almost built Up stern All the way. She starts looking Smart isnt IT? Here IS the progress...

Rich, my friend. Appreciated the effort, i really am, but Guess what? I have brass sheets left from cutty sark that would maybe covered entire glory. But im ageing i guess. I cant imagine púť myself into making each individual plate again and even smaller. Not anymore. Besides. Its All different if its tápe and strips. Not pieces. No anyway, its still christmass Topic in my čase lets FOCUS whats Actual shall we?
