'Strop' is sometimes written as 'strap' in the older texts.

Isn't it fun making those planking decisions as master shipwright? However, I would avoid placing butts close to or above ports as you have, aft of the waist. There are several planking expansions on the RMG web site. I'd look at some of those as a helpful guide. Also Steel or Rees have expansion drawings to study. As for red port sills and stops, perhaps paint is a safer choice than stain or dye.

Davy (davyboy): Your assumption is correct! That model's rigging has a number of peculiarities. The issue is that the (presumed) repairs are very old, so are far from obvious. Tony: (tkay11): I'm surprised that in an institution like RMG that someone would have accidentally damaged a model, not reported it and tried to fix it so that no-one would notice. Really!

No harm at all, LH! One way to procrastinate completing your dissertation, unless you were crafty enough to make St Philippe your subject....

Thanks for bringing this significant find to our attention, mic-art! Tak! -
No problem. It's a small detail and hard to see on a small screen.

Yes, I meant the sheer of the quarter gallery and my sketch is only approximate. I'm sure you can improve on it!

Beautifully done, Frank. Small point (and it may just be the photograph); the netting looks too bright. Congratulations on a lovely model.

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.
