That is why I cannot find it. I do no have issue 41! Could you possibly PM me that complete article so I can add it to my collection. I originally was given a stack of different magazines and I scanned the articles that related to my build and filed them on the computer for future reference. Then I gave the magazines away to our local club members. Issue 41 was not in the stack. Your comment about David's drawing Techniques article was not lost on me. I only have part 1. Are there others and do they discuss the stern?

Started work on the side counter timbers on Saturday. Tried again yesterday. My third try today. I made the blanks deeper today so I had something to hold and pin. I also took a piece of pine 2x8 and made a support shelf to rest the timbers on. Took me until today to imagine that. I drilled and pinned these to the wing transom so I could transpose the hull outboard shape. Then I pencilled in the molded depth I will cut these shapes tomorrow to near the correct molded depth leaving something to sand.... because I enjoy sanding so much.

I always back off the blade when I'm done so setting them flat on the table isn't an issue but while the blade is extended I lay it on its side.

Hold on a minute! You live on a paradise island in the Caribbean and you need a get away cottage? 🤔 When are you going to post a schedule for your modeling pals to visit? Obviously we just want to see you model in person 😎

I was hoping you would have received an answer regarding the ladder/capstan issue. I believe the handles/spokes/spikes were only installed when the capstan was being used to do heavy work like raise the anchor, otherwise they'd be stowed away to create clearance for the crew to get around, eat meals and rig their hammocks for sleeping. If this is indeed the location of the capstan and the ladder (as depicted on the plans), the ladder must have been removable so the capstan could be operated, just like all the interior bulkheads (cabin walls) were removable and stowed away to create clearance for the guns to operate. They had more than enough crew to handle it, and tons of space to temporarily stow it off to the side.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
