@rwiederrich beautifully done name boards. Unfortunately according to Michael Mjelde, her officially registered name was two words Stag Hound, not a single word. He reminded me when I shared the fact that Cornelius W McKay used the single Staghound word in his banner for his drawing of her. Just thought I'd let you know. Still, they're lovely pieces.

Here is a quick process review of the name boards. 
I first, carved a wooden name board.

Then I duplicated it. 
Next I formed several duplicates in light cured plastic. 
Carved them to follow the hull curvature, painted and added premade printed name plates.  
 

After Rich reminded me that her name was actually two words, I remade the starboard name board with a golden decorative break between the words.

 A tip-of-the-hat to you Rob, that looks great!

 

cheers

We have very little info about her finer details……so, when Rich pointed out my oversight, I had no other option, but to correct it.  Thanks for the fine comments.

Beautifully done Rob!

The impression brings back memories of dental school!

I have all my slow and high speed hand pieces rigged up and most of my lab equipment.     Makes model making so much fun.

Rob, wish I still had my high and low speed hand pieces!  I do have my hand instruments and my lathe ( bought thru the office for model ship building).  
With your background as a lab tech and Denturist, you must have a fantastic shop!!

Plus, you really know how to use it all!!

You also have extensive knowledge of dental materials, most of which I haven’t used in 40 years as an endodontist.

Still trying to learn how to use my metal lathe and milling machine (not from dental school!).

@rwiederrich in fairness, I was reluctant to bring up the name board issue, since you did such a beautiful job. But Mike's insistence on historic accuracy prompted me to remind you. Personally I prefer the single word but that's inaccurate. Still, Rob you made a masterful recovery with your new signs.

Worked on the mizzen mast today.   
 

Still need to rig it with blocks before I begin the yards.
