And you only broke one blade in the process?! Amazing, and a beautiful result. Actually that 3" throat has advantages. If you had messed up, only ⅓ of the scrollwork would have been be affected - not the whole piece. -
Thank you for the doll's house photos that made me smile and brought back childhood memories! Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy New Year to you and the family, Keith.

I agree that the carved work 'sits down' better visually against the background work, as well as defines the details nicely. If it were me , I would present the work as a fait accompli without comment. Should he dislike it, I'm certain you would find another buyer! Frohe Weihnachten, Aleksandr!

Lovely photos and progress, Patrick. What is that smaller model in the last image?

As Alan said, tight bends require lamination, or they can be cut to shape from a solid piece of wood.

Excellent result, Matthias!

Even contemporary models can be misleading. Some have had extensive 'restorations' over time that may not be accurate.

The Constitution pdf shows a style of carriage of about 1800 or later, as shown buy the protruding 'bumper' at the front of the carriage.

Depending on the design of the stern, there may be enough overhang to the upper gallery for a discharge immediately below the seat. If not, I can't see a long or angled discharge tube functioning. It may be the 'gazunder' (goes under) pot solution! The lower gallery head is probably located a little further forward to allow a vertical discharge.

I'm not sure whether any of the carriages in the photos are original, so are suspect sources. As to whether the vertical parts of the step were square to the centerline or the brackets does not affect their use. The horizontal steps were the essential part of the carriage for using to lever handspikes while adjusting the quoin and hence elevation of the piece.

Until flushing heads were introduced, I think gravity and a straight drop were the order of the day!

Such neat and precise railings. Great photos!

I find polyester a rather intractable fiber to use for line. Have you tried high quality cotton?

That whole companion unit has been reversed between the time the two photos were taken. Also, one rarely sees staples holding the false keel in place.
-
That backstay tackle appears to be a tensioning one as it has a double/single purchase.

Also enjoying catching up with your progress, Mark!

I think the varying degree of stain looks fine; it shows that the deck is made of separate planks. The difference in tone will probably even out over time. Enjoy your North Atlantic crossing!

L'Amarante by marsalv - 1:36 - POF
druxey replied to marsalv's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1501 - 1750
Lovely work, but is seems a pity to hide all the framing that you've done so nicely. -
The painting is a nice touch!
-
It was those kind of models that inspired me as a kid. A great goal to aim for! Just caught up on your progress. You are right - imagine doing that work in full size!

I suppose that there is one compromise that hasn't been mentioned yet: paint just one side of the model. I doubt if you'd want to build a second hull to paint!
