Very neat result using low-tech means! -
I always enjoy a more unusual subject! Wildmanden certainly shows nice lines. One curious point: the line of the wale looks to be conventional on the draught, but the last photo of the model appears to show this rising aft in a very odd fashion.

Nicely constructed, Mark. Will they be spattered with paint and antifouling?

Congratulations on getting to this stage of the model and on your marriage!

Nice analysis of the problems involved, Mark. Years ago, before the wonders of laser cutting, I had the same issues with the balcony on Polyphemus. I had to resort to using polystyrene sheet, drilled and scalpel blade cut. At least the rail was solid behind the fretwork! However, the ribbonwork was dimensional as well. I remember a lot of card and paper pattern cutting! Your work on this area so far is exemplary.

Lovely!

Thank you for pointing out the iron rail above the balcony balustrade on the drawings. That makes perfect sense.

A lovely model porcupine!
-
Assuming that those lovely figures are the correct scale, the balcony rail is low by today's safety standards! Beautiful work.

I've also used small rasps and gouges....

David didn't beef them up; this is what one sees on detailed profile plans of the era! Just one example:

Ten oared sounds reasonable.

Glad the triangular ringbolt method worked for you! The decision you made on the hatch covers looks really good. Model Motorcars Ltd supply a number of miniature bolts, etc.

I'm sure that is a relief!

Welcome back, indeed! With your abilities, I'm sure those chairs will turn out well, Keith.

Interesting technique of 'tempering' polystyrene!

Actually, the stiles are each just a single piece. I suspect that the notch in the rear of them was partly to save weight.

I'm sure that there were local differnces between English (Steel) and French (Boudriot) practice. -
Most likely to air out the toilet compartment?

Apparently this toxic green was also used in book covers for a while....

Horizontal lodging knees would be vital, I would think! The other, less likely, possibility would be beam arms.

Looking very good, Chris. My solution is a bit late now: In order to avoid barked knuckles when fairing the inside of the hull, I fair the fore and aft frames before adding the midship ones. This gives lots of access and elbow room. Ah well, next time, perhaps....

A hanging knee over a gun port (at least in English practice) would be 'cast' or angled around the port. Her there is insufficient space for this solution, so omitting it entirely is reasonable.

Just found your log, E. J. A 'great' start!

Glad you got it fixed! Ah, yes; New Bedford. Happy days!
