newbuilder101 Posted March 26, 2014 Author #721 Posted March 26, 2014 I have a little bit of an update today. I believe these parts are called quarter badges...correct me if I'm wrong. The first pictures show them underway, and then installed on the ship and painted. Kevin, Luca, dvm27 and 26 others 29 Quote Sherry Every goodbye is the birth of a memory...

shipmodel Posted March 26, 2014 #722 Posted March 26, 2014 Hi Sherry - I was taught that quarter badges are the small "bay window" looking bulges on the aft hulls of small ships. On ships of the line like yours, the large constructions that rise several decks are known as quarter galleries since they were connected to the galleries at the stern. In either case their purpose is to house the officers' washstand and other conveniences. The piece at the bottom that you have carved so excellently is called the drop, possibly because this is where the waste from the toilet dropped into the sea. Keep up the good work, I truly enjoy watching your progress and am glad to be a tiny bit of your inspiration.

michael mott Posted March 26, 2014 #723 Posted March 26, 2014 Beautiful work Sherry, and I see no reason why the function of a particular part as Dan points out should not be as beautiful as any other part.

newbuilder101 Posted March 26, 2014 Author #724 Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) Dan: Thank-you for the info - makes complete sense. There are some good resources for identifying ship parts, but they are listed by the part names followed by a description. If you don't know the name, as in my case, then it's a long tedious task going through the list to find what you're looking for. Michael: Thank-you as well! The term "drop" had conjured images of dew drops, tear drops, decorative drops of the lower skirt of fine furniture etc., but now.........I guess it's a decorative 'toilet bowl' as well!!

newbuilder101 Posted March 27, 2014 Author #731 Posted March 27, 2014 Piet: Thank-you for your kind comments and for stopping by! Grant: Thank-you! Fanciest facilities around - locally anyway. Sjors: Thank-you! Getting it to fit perfectly is much easier when it's a scratch build.....better than some of the kit parts that seem like they were made for a different ship! You'll have to give it a try after your Aggy. Nenad: Thank-you! I'm having a lot of fun with the carving - now back to the rest of the gun port liners which are not nearly as much fun. David: Thank-you as well! I was going to check out your builds, but no link to any logs - will we see that in the future? Brian: Thank-you! I'm trying my best to keep it neat, makes good practice for a future scratch POF - if I am brave enough. (Your HMY Fubbs is beautiful) Popeye: Thank-you! I wasn't sure about the colour at first, but when I mustered up the courage to apply a coat I was happy with it. The making of those railings helped raise the level of my scrap box!

Mirabell61 Posted March 28, 2014 #736 Posted March 28, 2014 Since my last update I have applied one coat of wipe on poly which darkened the hull to a moderate degree. The starboard gun port liners are now cut, painted brown, and installed. 1.JPG 2.JPG Two trim/molding pieces were fabricated and fixed to the edges of the lower balcony, as well as finishing the remainder of the decorative S braces between the upper and lower balcony. 4.JPG More decorations were fabricated and added to the stern section. 3.JPG Now to get busy and make the port side liners for a total of 92 rectangular gun port liners!
