An interesting and ambitious project, Adrian! Judging from your lifeboat model, you should certainly build an outstanding model.

Beautifully done! I can see why these would be tricky to make.

If you look at the forecastle deck plan above, you will see that the deviation of the upper deck beam is to allow the long ends of the spanshackle bolts to pass down through the upper deck beam to be forelocked below it. You may wonder why the beam wasn't simply a regular straight one placed slightly further forward. The outer ends are placed closer to beneath gun port #2 for support.

Beam Arms

You are partly correct, Meddo. The other reason is reinforcement for the main mast partners immediately aft of them. -
Aiee! What a complex set of procedures to carry out, Ed. I would have been strongly tempted to simplify and fudge those blocks at that scale. My hat is doffed to you, Sensei!

Silly question: are the stirrups for the footropes long enough? They should hang about 3' 0" below the yards. Unless ship is manned by midgets, of course. (No offence meant to the height-challenged.)

ancre Chebece 1750 by Jeronimo - FINISHED

I can only echo what has already been written: beautiful and precise! -
The Berwick draught is a very interesting drawing. Those 'extreme' hanging knees shown on the gun and upper decks must surely be iron - they appear to be considerably less than a foot wide, judging from the scale in the upper right. The standards on the upper deck are wider and must be wood. I was also looking at the knee of the head: all the joints are tabled ones. That would be a modelling challenge!

I assume the swivel helped level the yard when the ship was heeled.

A beautiful demonstration of how far the yard can be braced around using the yoke and swivel arrangement. Nice, Ed!

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.
