garyshipwright Posted July 28, 2022 Share #211 Posted July 28, 2022 Ben she really looks good and maybe just maybe mine will come out half as good. Really love the look and she is top notch that's for sure. I take it that your lower part of the hull is planked with holly? Helps bring out the hull really nicely.

Trussben Posted August 7, 2022 Author Share #213 Posted August 7, 2022 Headworks on the starboard side almost complete, I think i will remove the hair bracket friezes and replace them to try to better match it all together so the seams are less visible. svein erik, Seventynet, gjdale and 14 others 15 2 Current builds: HMS Pegasus TFFM.

No Greg, The frieze prints are in two parts, but I believe I can do a much better job second time around trying to make it as seamless as possible, and I still have the portside to start.

garyshipwright Posted September 22, 2022 Share #220 Posted September 22, 2022 Hi Ben. I been looking at your planking and must say it is out standing that's for sure. The holly you used for the planking below the wale is a eye catcher. Am think about using holly for the lower planking that is with your permission good sir. Keep up the great work.

I like the look, but to purchase really nice Holly that has no grey striations is quite expensive, some of my planking shows a little bit of it even though it was good quality! But when you see it in natural light it really looks great IMO. FrankWouts 1 Current builds: HMS Pegasus TFFM. HMS Winchelsea. Completed builds: ECHO cross section.18th C Longboat.QA Barge.

garyshipwright Posted September 24, 2022 Share #222 Posted September 24, 2022 Ben I have some good holly with no gray streaks and probably have had it for a few years. Not sure if I have enough to plank the hull but we will see. I also have some silver maple which is probably just as white. so maybe I see if I can find more of both. Well good sir you got it right and wood now days is quite expensive. Thanks again.

garyshipwright Posted September 24, 2022 Share #223 Posted September 24, 2022 Ben if you was going to buy some Holly for you building where would you go to get some? Am not sure if I have enough and figure maybe I would get a couple of pieces before I start that part of the build. Thank you.
