Thanks Patrick I need the template but also my own measurements. As we are saying in the house.....komt goed ( free translation ....everything will find his place ) No comment on that Grant ! And I have to believe you Sam ??????? @ Jason, When I see this I understand what you are meaning. It is a slow process but ok, it has to be done. I take my time with it. And because it is wood, you can change things when it is wrong. Just what i was saying to Patrick.....komt goed !!!!!

HMS AGAMEMNON by PMG - Caldercraft
Sjors replied to PMG's topic in - Kit build logs for subjects built from 1751 - 1800
I have read that also. But then I was thinking.....painting the frames while the second planking is on it ???? Strange, better to do it when there is single planking. Now I can paint them around it and not to be so careful when the second planking was on it. -

Hi Pierre, I thought I already leave a comment at your log but I don't..... So, the first one then You have make some good progress ! One question.... I see that you started the second planking but I see something. You are not putting frames in the gun ports ? When you are doing it later and then paint them red, I think you paint more then only the frame of the gun port. But maybe you have another system ? -
Hi Pierre, Thanks ! I'm also a bit disappointed about the template. When I take the pictures for Jason I found out that for some reason the template moved...... The gun ports that I cut out where to low I thought....... So I take a cannon and there is nothing wrong with it. Strange ! You have to measure ten times before you can drill. So, we are keeping going on. It's just playing with the wood !

Rich, I have make a few pictures how to assemble the gratings. I hope it is clear for you. When you make the gratings and before putting the wooden frame around it, let it take a bath in diluted pva. So you know for sure that they are all sticking together. When they are all together .you can easily make them the right size with an exact knife.

Thanks again Guy's !!!! @ Jason, I have a template for that. Tomorrow I shall make a picture of it when it is attach to the hull. Then you can see it. @ Sam, A month ? I think 2 months...... I have to work in the mean time.... @ Augie, Yes, it is a 64. So a few more to do ! And the blue on the roundhouses are lighter then they showing on the picture. Now it looks black but it is really blue..... Maybe when the sun is shining, I can make a better picture of that. @ Popeye, I know what you mean. When you are looking to the rail between the two roundhouses Caldercraft want me to use brass stripes. I don't like that so a piece of wood is better. maybe I change some more on her but that will learn the future...... @ Mobbsie, Thanks my friend , I hope I 'm not nuts at the end of all the gun ports.... There are some other stuff that I can do in between

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.
