augie Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share #1715 Posted April 19, 2015 Time for a small update. In preparation for the quarter deck planking, a series of coamings, hatches, gratings and ladder down to the gun deck have been added. Nothing spectacular, but here are a few photos to show where we are: Need to do a little tweaking before everything is cemented in place. Have begun working on the waterways and margin planks. These are being cut from Swiss Pear. Need to finalize some decisions as to how much of the quarter deck will be left open to view the interior. I'm favoring Chuck's suggestion to leave the entire port side open but I think I may add the margins and waterways to that side just to look more 'finished'. No pressure .......

augie Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share #1733 Posted April 26, 2015 Continuing work on the quarterdeck, the waterways and margin planks were prepared from Swiss Pear and installed P/S: Although the deck will only be partially planked (to leave visible some aspects of the gun deck and Great Cabin), I wanted the margins all around for the sake of appearance. Next was to prepare the lower stanchions for the quarterdeck rail. The simulated sheaves are 'functional': Aligning these lower stanchions behind a deck beam requires that they match the curvature of that beam. To assist in this, a photocopy of the rail was made and attached to the beam: The stanchions were then glued behind the deck beam: The planking of the starboard side of the quarterdeck (up to the centerline) may now proceed.
