AON Posted January 18 #751 Posted January 18 I find making card stock templates of items that need to nest against others a tremendous help. I also believe the hatch frame covers had lanyards attached so they wouldn't get washed overboard. If this is true you could make the cover and show it removed perched up on one corner of the frame. Maybe someone could confirm the lanyard as I cannot seem to find the source of this information. Great work BTW!

Some Idea Posted January 18 Author #752 Posted January 18 Thanks very much Alan - I would say that your idea of a lanyard is probably spot on. It would be so easy to lose the cover at that point on the ship. Keith Black and AON 2
Tonphil1960 Posted Sunday at 10:16 PM #753 Posted Sunday at 10:16 PM I’m just amazed by the quality Mark. I can’t believe you turned that brass for the cleats with no tail stock ! Some Idea and Keith Black 1 1

Do you mean the solid brass or the actual fittings? Keith Black 1
garyshipwright Posted 23 hours ago #757 Posted 23 hours ago Hi Mark. Guess am talking about the solid brass and the actual fittings. Most of the time when am talking about hardware would be the solid brass or the actual fittings. Thank's again Gary Keith Black and Some Idea 2 HMS Montague/Alfred class by Gary B 74 gun ship built in 1779

Thank's again Gary Hi Gary I buy all of my brass from eBay as you can get just about any size for a reasonable price. I have made all of the fittings for this project - Hope this helps - Mark Keith Black 1
