modelshipwright Posted March 3, 2015 Author #157 Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) The four spaces adjacent to the coat of arms should be two wide spaces so I removed the dividers in the middle of each space.

modelshipwright Posted March 17, 2016 Author #167 Posted March 17, 2016 (edited) The following photos look at preparation of the fore deck and the bulkhead against that deck for the placement of rails. At the top of the bulkhead a capping trim was formed and glued in place. The next few photos show of the progress of rails that will surround the fore deck. Also shown is the Temco Template former used to copy the profile of the shape of the front of the fore deck. More to follow..................

modelshipwright Posted March 18, 2016 Author #177 Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) I had been meaning to cap the railing to the poop deck a long time ago and finally made the capping rail piece from boxwood and assembled it. it is about 1 mm wide and 0.5 mm thick. It was shaped using my soldering iron fitted with a brass tip I made specially for bending wood strips. The cap adds a nice finishing touch and blends nice with the stairway railings.

SawdustDave Posted March 18, 2016 #179 Posted March 18, 2016 Bill.... Beautiful bulkheads. I am confused by the different configurations of the three weather deck bulkheads. Some models I found were straight, as in your case, while others have three radius shapes.... which I went with.I would be interested in your comments on this design difference.... too late for me to change at this point.

Some models I found were straight, as in your case, while others have three radius shapes.... which I went with. I would be interested in your comments on this design difference.... too late for me to change at this point. Thanks Dave Hi Dave, To explain it better I have included partial pics of the three main references I am using to build my model. First the Payne Engraving. It shows the deck bulkheads from fore to aft and I think the poop deck bulkhead is rather straight with just a gentle curve. The rest of the bulkheads have the three rounded portions in each. Next is the Van de Velde sketch showing a rather similar view. This also shows the poop deck with a gentle curve and the rest with three curved sections. The last is the starboard side depiction credited to Peter Pett and it shows the configuration as presented to King Charles I. The decks all appear to be slightly curved with none of the triple dimple affects. Finally, here is a shot of my model from a similar angle showing the decks in question. My model is a conglomeration of all these paintings and in the case of the bulkheads, I have followed The Payne and Van de Velde depictions. My assumption is the the Pett painting was presented to Charles and he ordered changes which resulted in the depictions of Payne and Van de Velde which were done when the ship was near completion or completed. As I have previously noted in this thread, there are no plans for this ship and all we have to go on is the paintings sketches and engravings of the time for reference. This means that we are depending on the eye of the artist and what he saw when he created the depiction. I hope that explains it.
