scrubbyj427 Posted October 14, 2020 Author #121 Posted October 14, 2020 So I got my q galley templates mocked up tonight and boy what a nail biter. I found that my stbd template held a nice shape where my port one is a little warped, both are in nearly identical positions down to .001”!!! yet the port one really throws the eye off due to the warp. I’m going to sleep on this one and possibly print the port template out again tomorrow, if anyone that’s been here sees anything jump out please let me know!

Guillermo Eduardo Madico Posted October 14, 2020 #123 Posted October 14, 2020 Hello JJ: I think the placement it is perfect. The lower portion of the template corresponds to the first horizontal piece. The fore line is the tip of that first piece once you add the trapezoidal cover where the freeze is placed. The aft line is where the horizontal piece for the window goes. I highlighted the box the I marked on my build and the position looks exactly as yours with respect to the last gun port. Hope this help, G Jorge Diaz O, FrankWouts, Saburo and 3 others 6
scrubbyj427 Posted October 14, 2020 Author #124 Posted October 14, 2020 Thank you for the input Guillermo, it’s always nice to have another set of eyes on something. I’m going to measure and double check a few more times and begin proceeding.

Rustyj Posted October 15, 2020 #125 Posted October 15, 2020 I also temporarily tacked pieces in place with rubber cement to check placement and alignment prior to permanently gluing in place.

Guillermo Eduardo Madico Posted October 15, 2020 #126 Posted October 15, 2020 No problem, That first piece needs to be beveled before it is glued. Once you add the cover and the molding, the fore tip of the Q gallery will be ahead of the fore line. Also once you add the columns, the fore side of the column will touch the fore line. I glued the first piece, and worked the second lower piece with the model upside down. It is easier to work the aft bevel of that piece, the bevel against the hull, and to glue it parallel to the first piece (better perspective when you look from the top; both pieces match). Best, G Rustyj and Jorge Diaz O 2
scrubbyj427 Posted October 17, 2020 Author #127 Posted October 17, 2020 Thank you for the comments And advice guys, I’ve gotten underway and so far it’s looking ok.

scrubbyj427 Posted November 9, 2020 Author #130 Posted November 9, 2020 Little progress update, been chugging away slowly at the Q-galleys. Going back and forth between P&S sides. Got all the windows for the q-galleys fitted but not permanent yet. Fitted the drops on both sides and those turned out well, needed a little sanding. Got the port side q-galley Roof tiles finished Today and started working on the moulding and frizzie placement. Still working on the moulding profile that I like for the middle moulding, definitely sacrificed a few pieces of boxwood strips in the process but I’ll get there. Happy so far with the results.

scrubbyj427 Posted November 17, 2020 Author #131 Posted November 17, 2020 So I pretty much finished up the port side tonight aside from a few minor details. Scraped and fit the lower moldings and Added some WOP, that stuff really brings out a pretty color on the boxwood that looks great with the cedar. I’ve had constant anxiety for the last week thinking about how to get these mouldings on perfectly parallel and keeping with the sheer line and it just dawned on me about two hours ago to just clamp on a plank that perfectly follows the middle moulding and simply glue on from there. Seemed to work pretty well. Hope someone else can find it useful when they arrive at this stage.

Greg M Posted November 17, 2020 #132 Posted November 17, 2020 Looking great and that's a good tip on the moulding. I'm at least 3 or 4 months away and I was already starting to think about this earlier today. One less thing I'll have to stress about.

scrubbyj427 Posted November 17, 2020 Author #135 Posted November 17, 2020 Thanks for the Likes and comments guys! Hoping to get started on the stbd side tonight, I always Find the second side harder to do as you have to replicate everything as close as possible so a lot more measuring/worrying/double checking goes on.

Matt D Posted November 17, 2020 #136 Posted November 17, 2020 Beautiful work, JJ. Your moldings look perfect. I have a question for you and I think I know the answer: Is your cellophane "glass" installed in your quarter gallery windows? It's hard to tell, but I think it has to be there by this point. I'm early in chapter 3 and will be starting the Q galleries soon. FrankWouts 1 Current Build: HMS Winchelsea 1:48 (Group Project) Completed Builds: Virginia 1819 Artesania Latina - 1:41
scrubbyj427 Posted November 17, 2020 Author #137 Posted November 17, 2020 Thanks Matt. no actually they are not installed on the q-galleys yet but I plan to do it very soon. The roof tops are also still loose. I won’t glue those on or the windows probably until I finish fairing the insides, that way I can clean the q-galleys out prior to sealing up.

Chuck Posted November 17, 2020 #138 Posted November 17, 2020 No need to rush on the glass...they will get dirty and collect dust. You can wait up to the very end to install the glass. In fact its better that you do. scrubbyj427, FrankWouts and Stuntflyer 3 Chuck Passaro - MSW Admin Sloop Speedwell - POF scratch Block Island Boat - POF scratch HMS Winchelsea - POB scratch build HM Cutter Cheerful - POB scratch build Royal Barge - POF scratch Medway Longboat- POF Scratch SYREN SHIP MODEL COMPANY
scrubbyj427 Posted November 17, 2020 Author #139 Posted November 17, 2020 Thanks Chuck, I probably will wait longer then. Seems there’s always some kind of sanding going on nearby the model.

scrubbyj427 Posted November 23, 2020 Author #140 Posted November 23, 2020 The stbd side was indeed a struggle, I won’t get into it too much but there was a lot of printing going on and some additional scraping and possibly some vocabulary, but it all worked out. Starting the transom this week and hoping to finish up chapter three within a couple weeks.
