  1. Thank you Tony! If you mean this Cutter: https://www.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/rmgc-object-66471 , it is not contemporary, but build ca 1940. Alex
  2. Nobody knows? @tkay11, You has a lot of images from Cutters in the Gallery, kan You probably answer?
  3. Hi Gregory, as far as I can see the Hawke does not have a mouse.
  4. Hi all, I kmow that common practice by Cutters was eye splice, but as I have seen two original models with a mouce, just a question... Alex
  5. Hello Bitao, just readed you build log for first time... I'm out of words. It is really incredible! Alex
  6. Hello usedtosail, The partner of a capstan was usually made of four pieces, fastened with clenched bolts. Two inner parts are parted in the middle to allow easily remove of them to lift the capstan for maintenance or some other purpose. Regards Alex
  7. The white wood represents the pine, that was generelly used for deck planking, the pear represents the oak, used for important structural planking, and is darker. As for me, specially by such wunderfull builds, the used wood does not matter, but the handwork, that is by marsalv simply incredible. I'm out of words. Regards Alex
  8. Hello, The model above shows a double capstan, the rings are for lifting and lowering. The fore jeer capstan on two decker ships can be lowered down to make room on upper deck for i.e. boat stowage. There was a room under the capstan called capstan room. Alex
  9. Hi Don, sorry, I are relatively sure I have read about 6 feet minimum length, but can't remember more where... I must not be exactly Steel, but was one of contemporary books. Alex
  10. original sources like Steel and Fincham states that planks should be not shorter than 6 feet.
  11. The 20 gun frigate Sphinx is not one of Enterprise Class, but of his own Sphinx Class: https://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/83710.html. She have had no guns on Quarterdeck, no solid bulwarks and no openings in the taffrail. But if anyone has payed for tihis it all does not matter
