matelot Posted May 7, 2018 #196 Posted May 7, 2018 Hello Jeronimo, I have just looked at your beautiful and outstanding work and am somewhat torn to tell you that the large grating platform at the rear has the wrong shape! I saw the actual model close up when it was on tour in Quebec City a while back. The plans of the Musee de la Marine, while not nearly as good plans, show the right shape of the platform. Also Bernard Froelich states in his book The Art of Ship Modelling on page 280 near the bottom on the right side of the page " I must mention an error in the drawings of this platform." He goes on to describe the mistake. The sides of the platform should taper in the rear to follow the shape of the poop which should make for a much better looking model. I don 't understand why these plans were not corrected a long time ago! Sorry to point this out to you but I feel that if you wanted to, you could still correct the mistake Regards Henry davyboy, Jeronimo, mtaylor and 1 other 4 Quote
matelot Posted May 7, 2018 #197 Posted May 7, 2018 Sorry to be a pest. In Froelich's book on page 121 here is also a good photo and description of this platform. Henry mtaylor, davyboy and Jeronimo 3 Quote

Henry Does the photo show the platform grating fitted as to what I think is upside down ? I've never ever seen a grating fitted that way on any ship or model. A real stumbling block to say the least. That's just my opinion of course. Dave Jeronimo 1 Quote
matelot Posted May 7, 2018 #199 Posted May 7, 2018 The book's cover shows a large photo of the model.I don't think there is anything wrong with the grating. My point is that the platform is tapered toward the back to blend in with the hull instead of the rectangular shape shown on the plans. Henry mtaylor and Jeronimo 2 Quote
matelot Posted May 7, 2018 #200 Posted May 7, 2018 Finally found what I was looking for.The platform becomes a part of the ship instead of just sitting there. These images come from an old Musee de la Marine plan. mtaylor, Archi, Jeronimo and 5 others 8 Quote
Jeronimo Posted May 8, 2018 Author #201 Posted May 8, 2018 Hello Henry, thank you for your information. After some research in the Internet I also believe that the plan drawing of the platform is not correct. Yours sincerely Karl Tigersteve, tlevine, archjofo and 19 others 22 Quote
