Konstantin, it is scaffolding. I was there and took the pictures. (provided we are commenting on the same thing) Now I didn't take the pictures in 1922 like the pictures you posted (the b&w) rather in '83 or '84 on one of my trips to England. The colour picture of the outside of Victory was taken a few hours after I took the pictures inside Victory. That's why I wanted you to see all the scaffolding. The scaffolding and the plastic tarp show me that the gun port that I photographed that day is somewhere to the right of the gangplank into the lower gun deck. This has gotten way off my build of victory. I do have an interesting problem that haven't figured out what to do. 

I bought a piece of victory and have it here. It is one hard piece of teak from the orlop deck. I took it to a friend and we sliced three pieces about 4 mm thick. I want to incorporate some of them into the build but have never figured out what to do with them. any thoughts/suggestions.

here is the piece that I have left along with another piece of Victory. As mentioned cut three pieces about 15 cm x 2 cm x 4 mm from this block to incorporate into my build. The teak is as tough as steel. so can't do too much with it.

 

my pieces of Victory.jpg

use it as the name plate, for the finished build

no timer, i just note the time start and finish, therefore that's the time i have spent on the build, to if im stuck on something, i move on to something else, and think about it, if researching, then that is build time, i round up and down 1/2 hours 

it is not a complex or anything, i just wanted to know how much i have spent (kit and consumable used)  and time taken, i spreadsheet it with date, time spent, what im working on and items bought, lol (making myself sound so sad) so i know what cost per hour i am getting 

I hope everyone is ok

lol - i hope you get the answer - as i don't understand the question

we are doomed

DONT PUSH IT

In North America (specifically Canada and USA) February 2nd is known as "Grounghog Day"

 

A groundhog, or woodchuck is a large-ish rodent, lives in a hole in the ground. Now according to some old-time folk lore about the weather, if the groundhog  emerges from his hole on the morning of Feb 2 and see's his shadow, it means there's still 6 more weeks of winter. If he fails to see his shadow it means there will be an early spring.

 

There are 3 particularly famous prognosticating groundhogs. Shubenacadie Sam (In Nova Scotia, Canada), Punxsutawney Phil, in Pennsylvania, and the infamous albino groundhog Wiarton Willie, in Ontario.

 

2 out of the 3 predicted and early spring... hence the general animosity towards groundhogs...

 

Although in the case of my grandfather, he's lost a couple of horses due to groundhog holes (this is going back to the 50s and 60s when he still used horses for farming).. so there's a kind of a "North Korea" situation between him and the miserable rodents.
