For what it's worth, I find it far easier to do the cant framing fore and aft first, as the inside is far more accessible for fairing. Whether your method would allow this, after setting up the most forward and aft square frame, I don't know. -
Odd, indeed, Harvey; but fortunately we now have an accurate picture of how it was done!

Came across this interesting record of lead sheathing on the RMG site. Unlike copper, the vertical joints were not offset: https://www.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/rmgc-object-80442 The top appears to have a protective wood batten at least 1' 0" wide. The plates appear to be 5' 0" x 1' 6".

Lovely as usual. Are you glad that there aren't 74 cannon and carriages to make?

Magnifique, Monsieur! Question: how exactly does petroleum jelly work on the frosted plastic?

Simply beautiful, Keith. It's been a great pleasure to follow your progress on Germania.

Usually the size is expressed by the length of the block. I haven't the Mondfeld reference handy, but don't think block proportions changed much over time.

Doris is a tough act to follow, but your model is looking really nice so far.

Congratulations on your latest release, Chris. She looks lovely! That was a lot of development work. Well done.

Welcome! You are so correct in that one item that is 'off' will domino into a major problem down the line. My advice is to unglue all the things that aren't quite right and re-do them now, to avoid frustration and disappointment later. Follow the instructions closely for the best results.

Nice work, Siggi. Gammoning was considered standing rigging, and would be dark with Stockholm tar.

It's amazing how the subconscious works away without one being aware of it, and then suddenly; bingo! Glad you have a more elegant method of block-making now, Chuck. Brunel would have been proud of you.
