Niels, a couple of issues:

 

1. It's not necessary to create a separate post for each photo. You may add multiple photos to a single post.

2. Your photos are not displaying. We don't recommend using third-party image hosting sites. We regularly have problems with such sites when they go out of business or members don't renew their subscriptions. We strongly advise members to upload their photos to the site first and then add them to their posts.

You have chosen a huge project and showing a great start.  One of the nice things about this ship is that you can compare your modern day plans to the contemporary plans and models at the RMG Collections site.         

https://www.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/search/Royal William plans 1719  &  https://www.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/rmgc-object-66183

Regarding the lower wales, notice how it diminished in thickness at the bow so it rests in the rabbet as in the photo of the RMG model below.

Hi Allan,

 

I’ve seen you pass this info on it several kit build logs recently. This can and will eventually get lost in the pages. I think it’s a better idea to start a topic about this separately , so it’s easily referred to.

Many thanks for the suggestion James. 😀 As this applies to all builds, not just kits, it makes a lot of sense.   It's good to have folks post these kinds of things in multiple forums to capture a larger audience.

Is the model on the right in post #17 above the Norske Love?  It looks very nice.
