Trussben Posted September 14, 2021 Author Share #122 Posted September 14, 2021 Thanks for all the comments and the “likes”. I now have the transom installed, the 3 x 7/16” wide upper counter planks went in perfectly and their bottom aligned exactly where they should, and then I made the final lower counter top plank to fit between them with a really good transition, so I’m pretty confident that the angle and height of all these parts are correct. ben PRS, Matt D, Wacom and 17 others 20 Current builds: HMS Pegasus TFFM.

Trussben Posted September 18, 2021 Author Share #129 Posted September 18, 2021 (edited) So I want to show you how I eventually figured out the correct height and position of the stool piece. After advice from Chuck I read and reread page 112 of David Antscherl’s Comet book where he discusses this exact thing although he calls it the berthing piece. 1st - I took the height of the upper counter where it meets the lower corner of the transom. 2nd - I transferred that height to the hull side, you can see the mark is LOWER than the transom which is correct. 3rd - I used a straight edge to follow the sheer of the hull and marked a line that shows where this bottom edge will be. 4th - I used the paper templates to mark the angle and heights of the other needed reference points inc it’s upper face level and the top of the QG ( or bottom of roof ) 5th - Sanding and fitting the piece being mindful that it’s upper face should follow the roundup of the transom. If anybody sees where I made a mistake here please let me know before I go any further.

druxey Posted September 18, 2021 Share #133 Posted September 18, 2021 That's it, Ben! One small tip: use a finer line for marking out; excessive line thickness can throw things off.

druxey Posted October 10, 2021 Share #139 Posted October 10, 2021 That is one of the critical points in forming the quarter gallery; everything is parallel to each other. You should be fine from here on.

Trussben Posted October 12, 2021 Author Share #142 Posted October 12, 2021 Planked the sub decks, I had thought about making the false main deck beams from my own Swiss pear to match the other structural parts, but when I saw how beautifully that Chucks laser cut parts fitted I decided to use them and stain to match the boxwood seeing as how those beams will almost be invisible.

Trussben Posted October 28, 2021 Author Share #147 Posted October 28, 2021 Starboard QG all but completed, need to decide if I want the top of the roof color to match the frieze or the tiles. I decided to rip off the first set of upper moldings and make a slightly wider one with a different profile, it matches better than my first attempt I think. You may notice that my tiles slightly overhang that molding, not strictly like the contemporary model but I like how it looks. The drop was installed and fitted really well with only a little finessing. Now to finish up the Port side and then move onto installing the rest of the friezes and moldings.

Chuck Posted October 28, 2021 Share #148 Posted October 28, 2021 Beautiful work..... I also painted the top of the roof black because it made the fine filigree carved details on the roof rail stand out more. Really nice work Ben. That certainly doesnt look like laser cut parts from a kit. It looks like the finest of scratch built quarter galleries to my eye. The carved drop is a perfect match.
