Thank goodness for Chucks stopping making ropes !

very nice.

lovely Matt. i see you opted for squarish design. they are now ahead of me i am a bit scared though that i will messup . will see ...:)

I really enjoy your progress George.

Watching Chuck ahead chapters is like getting another chapter package for free. so enjoyable.

Thanks yes, i find their design best so far ive seen for clippers as it allows to install proper timberheads up on waterway and from ther rail also topgallant one. most authentic possible i woudl say on POB.

Thanks Rob, the beauty of it is that it is scaled by percentage..... variable. I created it in 1:20 measuring relative to 1:1 huge. but no matter what program or simple picture viewer you open the bulkheads you can just adjust viewing percentage and voila you get scale you wish.......you need to know one reference scale only ....in 26 percent opened size it is 1/72 depending on where you measure the beam..... / widest point around middle=18.8 cm beam in 26 per cent opening =44 ft in 1.1 opening and viewing at 19 per cent = 1:96 if you measure at the bulkheads exactly 14 cm... 19.5 per cent opened (but there needs to be program to count in half = 1:96 measured beam at widest - 20 per cent would be close but slightly more than 44 ft. also all related pages are made in one program so it is all simply related.... same applied to centerbulkheads....just make sure you have it opened in same percentage size as bulkheads....its same measure.... same for ornaments page.... here you can see i finally managed to finish all bulkheads curved them and lowered as waterway to be installed up is included... I copied all exact design of built exactly after model shipways flying fish....it was painstaking work . just remember I diminished watterway for model making puropse by 2 mm. so instead of 8 mm in 1/72 it would be 5 mm waterway... this is how they turned out. we can see and feel the shape already...

Rob, Richard, folks, i rely on your measures for sure, but i work differently as i dont have knowledge of your caliber... by comparing distances. i measured mold to mold and it gives roughly 2x distance to copperline at 25ft for sure. photo is black but we can see approx tip of rudder going to rudder hole,,, tjhat is mold to mold plus a bit i had measured it but forgot the numbers.... I can tell you folks, this is only inches discrepancies you play here....I looked at the draw again......there is no place to labor excessively as main numbers doesnt allow to.....as LBP is provided and LOA is provided....you can either literary CUT OFF tip of bow if you want longer sleeker stern, or you can do vice versa if you want agressive bow and shorter stern. nothing else can be moved....... yes can.....instead of 84 degrees stem angle we can go 86..... or at back stern stem we can go from vertical to little leaning downwards....as we excluded these un Mckayish things.....i believe shape is pretty much established.....and I can quite comfortly have bulkheads cut.... i measured all over thoroughly and tried to update stern and again measured bulwark heights and sheers watterway, depyth of hold......according last number provided. I included planking exceeding behind sheer line mold as welll....I will now post pics with numbers... speaks for itself...... i measured bulwark again which gave me 6.12 FT.... to obtain 250 ft between perpendiculars.... and 265 overall, I shortened a tiny bit of forward tip to be less aggressive and used comparing distances measures so stern is now again different than before..... what you say about stern shape now folks ? there is final pic as last one..... @ Rob, I can send you folks bulkheads templates for the boat, but first i want to check them myself in hand to check i drew them correctly...as I suppose this is testing phase for me please underthand that I will never match your precision, truth be told im quite thankfull that Richard is kicking me into more precision... as it helps it to shape it better but I would say at this point. I dont think it someone would shape her differently placing all the shapes and measures at this point..... first picture shows new more shallow angle of bottom of stern and original Michaels stern.... i can redone tip to more agressiveness forward as we had it before but i have to go back to more dull stern it makes.... 2 FT at the back or at the tip of forward rail....quite a lot to consider.... hope make sense thanks V.

this is fascinating . seeing plan drawn by McKay himself - i was about to think from photo itself that rail seem to be angled...so it is confirmed though... i cant keep up with you folks, i didnt have time lately hopefully around weekend i will ne able to sit behind the desk. ...also with bulwarks, there is ton of stuff i have to measure remeasure....again. one question to ask folks, where is beam to be measured? at the widest part of hull - underwater included? at that would be widest though...thank you. V.

wooow what a beautiful closeup photos of stern woohoo.

Thank you Jean,...... good news for you, > check amazon.de. they have a few in stock. seems easy to get even in europe V.

Whoa this is magnificent look at her from the very rare straight low position . Thanks for cathead calculation Richard i will accomodate those. V.

Guys would you mind explaining in short what WOP is? thank you...

fantastic JJ.

Hello Jan, thank you very much for stopping by, im glad you like it, well though it is not without flaws, but it is warming indeed.

Yes - and we have it correct on the drawing i hope i posted those pictures. . v.

Oh yes i will angle correct that, i know what you mean thanks. i will try to fit Druxey figurehead hand with drapery double line detail over weekend and hopefuly few more hull parts like deadeyes channels...

awesome job Bob.

Thanks Richard, hmm thankfully i kept also 1 ft lowered verison as well. its ok i will try to accomodate 3' downmold profile too and Druxey hand as well. i almost fainted yesterday as all hulkheads mixed up...i spent two hours to save them to original form.... started to be little too much at this point i have to slow down and go slowly and steadily. as for bow adjustments, i will than little recenter 2 nd bulkhead curve following curves right between 1 and 3 - bulkheads - and it will shape that steady stepness of profile - it was pushed way more towards 3 rd if you look back where bulkheads are posted...the way making mora drasric curve right from the start....gosh will this end some day? thsnkfully evenings up late are still rainy and cold.... its all very slow process because i have to magnify lines to set measure tool, mark move lines delete close lines , again and again...but looking back - this is already just twaeeaking ....

Hello everyone, didnt have time yesterday......but started to aplly measures to the bulkheads...id say it would take some 10 working hours to complete so it wont be so soon.... i prolonged nameplate but its just sketch rather so please bear with me...letters somehow crippled, its starting to get pretty crowdy for my crappy computer though...letters are not properly placed just to get rough idea. I didnt mean 7 in sheer Richard, its price for my worng expressing ..my bad sorry. i meant 7 in wide sheer plank or that fancy ribbon,....its tated in michaels book. imho, I think three ribbons conturing as lover strake of navalhood are all uniformly thick but if not we can reshape them no issue there its just detail... another devil to open.I accepted.challenge quite dramatically intruded into Michaels work though.....im curious about your opinion...bow profile... here is the widened nameplate and changed chocks position......

Cmon Bruma dont exagerrate. I have to let you down somehow for near or longer future I dont plan to continue as I am about to start 1:72 glory of the seas american late clipper...asI spent one month drawing proper vector plan for laser cut ..id be more that pleased if you stop by though. meanwhile, I will enjoy and hopefully learn learnenormously observing sailing up your cutty, with those gorgeous sails you make. i intend to use it on glory...for sure...hopefully. meanwhile i couldnt resist half price discount on new bedford whaleboat but that will not move from box untill next christmass and still working on hms winchelsea....im not sure if i sleep

Thank you, also everyone for likes alike.

I already speculated about waves there otherwise her hull would be "amateurishy designed - not possible " wave caused inward shape bump like..:)

poplar for sure. you will thank us
