Rudder

The rudder consists of five CNC cut pieces that fit very well together very well. The rudder and stern post needed to be beveled at 45 degrees and the top of the rudder needed to be trimmed and shaped at the poop deck.

Cap Rail and Bulkhead Break

The cap rail with gold molding was added next. The bulkhead break pieces were precision laser cut and fit very well.

Thanks, Mugje! The kit contained a large variety of woods that makes the model colorful.

Bulkhead Break Cap Rail

I made some minor to the poop deck cap rail and added access stairs to the poop deck.

When I look at a book about the replica Nonsuch

built by the Hudson's Bay company there is a picture of the

captain sitting in front of a very substantial rudder trunk in his cabin.

The picture below gives a hint that this area of the Sultana replica may also have a rudder trunk.

Hi Navarcus, this looks a little off topic maybe you posted it in the wrong place.

The stern decorations were easy to install after a few hours of cleaning and painting.

Display stand / Finished Pictures

I used white oak and bloodwood for the stand and my pool table for the photos background. The Fubbs Stern Section was the largest section model I have made, three months from start to finish was possible due to the precision parts in the kit by Mike Shanks and the artwork by Jodie.
