Dear all, Last chapter, Captains gig. Irony of life do magics. Its strange that such small boat would bring me most joy of entire mammoth project on scale vessel. I have lits of small leftovers so i decided to make captains gig as a last point before wrap. If someone is interested i can describe this method i tried. I observed mold works - so i bought small boat model for few euro. Completed bulkheads Filled up with balsa wood and voila - mold ready. - than i bended ribs/ to be oversized / and just simply clamped them with some rubber ring fasteners. / girls clamp their hairs with those/ ... .....rest is usual as any clinker.... Even she is not symetrical gave me fun.

Thank you Rob for the liking and gratifying comment. Im sure you can do better i saw your striking sails and wonderful cabins..... its always place for getting better, i was not particularly picky. One thing i ensure was i didnt want oil varnish to change color to amber..so i obtained one that doesnt color wood. Im pleased for almost white floors though... . as this project taught me to be humble observing others work, well well, good question of placing her.wanna truth? I dont want to keep her for some reasons rather let her go.... I wish more people could see her so i will try that route first not sure what route that would be..and if not succeed, i will try to offer her if there was sign of interest somehow . and if not i will keep her. will see.. and now last chapter so i can catch up with glory of the seas fanclub.

Hi Bruma, thank you for great comment and good observation. first off, if you look ver carefully sou can see that curved planks should follow not only line of gunwales but also poop deck itself. therefore there is slight curvature discrepancy of stern towards end i am aware of and sharp eye sees it...even though i was correcting it. that pattern is something you may call laziness prbobably. as it was easiest how to finish it quickly. not really something to be followed, campbell panks are being straightened towards center and possibl cut narrow , buI just have basically enough after more than 3000 hours of building i consider it feature not design flaw :))) . there is wheelbox laying ot center anyway ao it is not visible at all anyway. i just have enough. i am finishing captains gig and that would be all. need to move on as i do not have more energy . i will not even finish rudder at this stage as I dont have capacity to weld such big hinges...so i decided that will be done maybe next year . thanks for liking I believe there is always room for upgrading, but i learnt a lot on their mammoth
