druxey got a reaction from daHeld73 in HMS Bellerophon 1786 by AON – scale 1:64 – 74-gun 3rd Rate Man of War - Arrogant-Class
This framing photo shows you how the wing transom is shaped at the outer corners. (This model is of a sixth rate, so is smaller and has less transoms than a 74, but is essentially similar.) Note the smooth run of the filling transoms' surfaces up to the margin line. There is no sharp turn or bend, which appears on your frame grab.

Out of curiosity I visited the pirates forum and read the article about Chuck's Speedwell. I had a really good laugh at the comment by one of their admin wallahs. "Luckily we have same quality kits from Chinese manufacturers at one third of the price". Quality ???? What planet is that guy on ? Keep up the good work Chuck,I enjoy following your build. Sorry I wont be building your Speedwell as I've started rigging my 1/48th POB version after 5 years of work .

I think you are doing more than an outstanding job with this kit beauty or for the ship modeling world. Everyone may know my opinion for that matter! 🙂

Tom, I like Chuck's method because it incorporates the round up. That might be possible on the mill but it's above my pay grade.

Yeah, but he'd be a lot faster making the next 50. 😉

druxey got a reaction from Canute in HMS Echo by Hamilton - 1:48 - Admiralty Models - cross-section
Yes; Christian is absolutely correct: Whenever possible, run the grain along a piece, not across it. Avoid cross-grain! As you had it is weak and prone to snap.

Your rope work is an inspiration Johann.

Continuation: Equipping the mizzen topgallant yard - Vergue de perruche
After the small mishap, as reported, I have now made a new mizzen topgallant yard and fully equipped it. This means that the topgallant yard chapter can be put to bed until it is installed on the model.
Here is a picture of the finished mizzen topgallant yard.
And another picture with the tye.
The next picture shows different yards of the French corvette in size comparison. In the center you can see the mizzen topgallant yard. Above it is the mizzen royal yard and finally the middle section of the main yard is shown below.
The next step is to equip the royal yards with the necessary rigging elements. Then I'll finally have finished fitting out the yards.
To be continued ...

Those look terrific, Chuck.
I'm sorry to read that Troll City over at SOS is still alive and bitching.... I suppose that trolls have to live somewhere.

I agree with Pitan's observations; Nelson was not a weight-lifter! The revised figure is more convincing, but perhaps still tall for the size of his head.
