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......

George, i have to say i dont have experince bending small ril so far...but id be inclibed to say ...depends on how you are going to bend it. 3/16 its quite a lot for easy bend , i can imagine soak and bend it over violin bender ....i woul try. if doeant work i would cut shape around forecastle and stern and bend reast where is no stee pround easily. im pretty intereated as we with folks finished measuring another McKay clipper glory , so i will have it alser cut and will tra to build her following model shipways fish planes so exactly as you work. i have them at home and i liek every bit of it. its proper way to build a clipper so im finally looking forward to buidl clipper properly. im glad i can watch your steps and observe:) have fun.

not sure i got it, i have to read repatedly Richard by the way detail of stern after change, what you say of it now folks ? sorry for poor lines its just prolonged line sketch. by the way sheer is 7 inches as written in book. ...you can not slight "offline bump of smooth curve right where sheer it on that photo too...sort of way....straight sternpost and LOA and perpendicular measure pretty much define the main points of stern curvature and start and end...of it... ....also distance of sheers and rails....

Noted Rob thanks, I would also say that I had to make it longer on one photo in wharfe where she is faced from the bow, i see longer part of nameplate before it reaches naval hood. Well gentlemen, apart of this, we have her beautifly measured at this point, also 6 FT bulwarks ( its around 4, 4.5 in michael drawings, and proper position of all sheers that move up to the stern where they define its proportions... i think i get drunk

This is very interesting, I had dificulties to find entire nameplate so I depicted letter from two photos though...so I ditched doingit from actual nameplate and tweaked available rectangular font to sort of carving one, but rounds around S are not sharp but rounded a bit, closeup view would surely be more than welcome. That is not final version for sure, there is many but... uncapitaled "of the " is also kind of temporary and not defiitive as it doesnt have qualities of original work in progress indeed. Thank you very much for pointing source of nameplate. Im sure Rob and Richard would find something.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
