    Hello all, many thanks for warm words and comments! not a big update,I have produced stanchions for the ladderway rails. The images are mostly self explanable, I hope They are turned on Unimat from 1,5mm brass road. Then finished with steel whool on Dremel Tool. The rings are from 0,3mm brass, the rails from 0,4mm. Finally installing around ladderway after blackening Continue to work at Q-Deck beams, and how she look now. Next step will be Capstan. Regards Alex

    Hi Mark, such inboard profiles are usually as designed, copies are sended to ship yards and used for all ships of the design. It can be, that the dashed line represents just a difference between design and particular ship as build, or it is later plan with alterations for further ships, or some else, but not aft face or thickness of frames. In this case the line should run more or less parallel to rabbet. With other words, as I assume, the dashed line show the true rabbet of Bellona, because the line match the fore perpendicular. And the plan show probably later ships slightly largened Alex

    Hi Pat, I'm using german version of PhotoShop, so the names of functions may be wrong. For rescaling e.g. from 1:48 to 1:24 go to Image->image size option, change units to %, and type 200. Check the "maintain ratio" and "recalculate image" ckeckbox. Click OK The formel for scale ratio in %: divide given scale by need scale and multiple by 100. Alex
