I've noticed they've done nothing for the bulwarks except some netting. Make her look a little bizzare in many ways like you know there's a reason but not why. I guess the project to give her pivot guns went away also as I've not read about it for several years.
-
Jan, If there's guns on that deck, then maybe but only if the port will allow the muzzle to clear. Otherwise the muzzleblast will happen inside the ship. It would also depend on how close to the waterline they are.

NIce save on the frame, Tony. Your problem solving is great and will pay off on future builds. Interesting method for the waterways. i fought with that one and I'm still not sure I won.

Good to see you back at her, Erik. She's looking great. Other hobbies and life do get in the way which seems to be the norm.

Best guess is about all we can do on this ship with some things and these are one of those. Pity that some of the drawings were destroyed or changed... but I think you're doing a lot better with the research that I was able to do. Interesting on the bronze hinges. I would have thought they were iron. Where did those photos turn up?
-
Hans, Those two ports might be air ports for letting fresh air in below decks and also used as loading ports for supplies, etc. from the ship's boats.

Just fantastic.
-
Amazing details, Keith. It's a pity that it's just us that will see them. You might have to incorporate some photos of this cabin into your display when finished.

It's probably a good thing not to have the bulwarks folding on an RC ship. I could see water coming over the stern (gust of wind or a wake from someone else) and suddenly a wet deck. I'm liking what I'm seeing overall... looks and sails great.

Beautiful work, Glenn. I'm learning as much from the discussions involving decisions and methods as I'm from your build. Thanks.

Impressive work, Daria. You're doing a fine job of building this ship.

Great looking water tank, Maury. And that gear set is something else. How big is that main gear?

Good attitude to have, Tony. I made my share of "oops" on the cross-section. It's the learning process for many of us that's important.

Tony, As I recall, some of us went with one piller right smack dab in front of the steps, other choose to go with two pillars. I'm not sure what the full build shows as it's been a long time since I looked at the plans. If I were doing this today, I'd go with either 2 pillars or leave them out. I did the one...

Bob, Uninstall it. A quick Google basically says that no one knows about ScanGuard nor what it really does. There's one website that has it on it's "top 10" list but that site opened up a month before ScanGuard showed up. It just smells very suspicious.

Welcome to MSW and Thanks for your support.

I note that wood is not listed on the cutable items... The other problem is water and wood. Watching the video shows a lot of water in the unit.

I'm just sittin' here shakin' my head and going "Wow"... Moving along nicely and looking great, Denis. I hope the crud leaves you soon.

Thanks for the likes and comments. Progress is still slow at the moment but steady. Simple not to tattoo yourself, John. Keep the lid closed when the power switch is on. I don't follow my own advice always, but luckily there's a safety switch to kill power to the laser tube if the lid is opened. I'm still learning this beast though I do admit I'm hooked and finding more uses every time I look at things to be done As much as I like that idea and have practiced it in the past... not so much these days. I find I'm more accident prone when there's a relaxing agent in my blood. The stairs? I made a jig which is a flat piece with 2 wood strips at right angles. I put the steps to the risers with glue and then finesse it in the jig with some brass clamps to secure them until dry. Everything, when I don't screw it up, comes out nice and square.
