gak1965 Posted July 18 Share #121 Posted July 18 Hi Tom! I know that this is a month out of date, but your channels seem spot on vs. the directions. Here is a photo of Endurance that shows the channels and it is pretty clear you did it right Regards, George clearway and Snug Harbor Johnny 2 Quote Current Builds: Bluejacket USS Kearsarge, RRS Discovery 1:72 scratch Completed Builds: Model Shipways 1:96 Flying Fish | Model Shipways 1:64 US Brig Niagara | Model Shipways 1:64 Pride of Baltimore II (modified) | Midwest Muscongus Bay Lobster Smack | Heller 1:150 Passat | Revell 1:96 USS Constitution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomculb Posted July 19 Author Share #122 Posted July 19 Thank you George. I just now looked at your Discovery and Kearsarge builds, which are coming along nicely. I don't know how I'd find the time to do two simultaneously.

Tomculb Posted July 19 Author Share #123 Posted July 19 Anchor deck and aft deck stanchions and railings completed. With regard to the anchor deck, as you can see below, there are photos out there that both show a railing running between the two ladders and show no railing there. The latter railing must have been added later in the voyage. I opted to put that railing in. Obviously the no-railing photo was taken in a port, but I have no idea where. The stanchions for the aft railing are closer together than the other ones, in order to maintain the curve around the stern. After completing the aft railings I noticed a big mistake I made. There is a wooden cap that is the top of that railing, which I had seen but forgot about. I simply did what OcCre did. Whether I go back and redo it remains to be seen, but if it happens, it won’t be anytime soon. I am delaying working on the railings for the deck immediately forward of the aft deck. I need to think about the order in which I install the shrouds and ratlines, the dog kennels and those stanchions and railings. One will likely get in the way of the other, and the railings are fragile, susceptible of being snagged when I’m tying the ratlines, for instance. clearway and ccoyle 2 Quote Tom ________________________________________________________________________________________ Current build:: Shackleton's Endurance -- OcCre Completed: USS Constitution cross section -- Model Shipways Peterboro Canoe -- Midwest Models Bluenose -- Artesania Latina Joshua Slocumb’s Spray -- BlueJacket J Boat Endeavor -- Amati Other Wright Flyer -- Model Airways Yacht America -- Model Shipways Brig Niagara -- Model Shipways Sopwith Camel -- Hasegawa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
