garyshipwright Posted May 5, 2022 Author #753 Posted May 5, 2022 (edited) Morning Giampiero and thank you. I like the boxwood light color and wish I had built her gun deck with it but hindsight is 20 20. The pear does show up nicely. She does have a few different wood's in her and hope my son wil get some enjoyment out of her in the future. Once again thank you,. Thanks Bitao and Druxey. Glad you guys like her and hope to do even better on her in the future. Getting the lower deck some what done, it's giving me a push to get more done on her, that and having you guy's push me forward. I do get a lot of enjoyment out of looking at her, and thanks again.

garyshipwright Posted May 11, 2022 Author #754 Posted May 11, 2022 Hi guy's. Here's a update on the build but this time it is more about her building board. I add a way of being able to tilt her from side to side which helps keep the back in tack and a lot easier getting to thing's. I worked on a couple of hanging knee's and being tilted made it a lot better. I can't take the Credit for it which goes to Alan/AON and the tech info on it. Hope you enjoy the pictures and any question will be more then happy to answer them fake johnbull, yvesvidal, captain_hook and 25 others 26 2 Quote HMS Montague/Alfred class by Gary B 74 gun ship built in 1779

garyshipwright Posted May 11, 2022 Author #757 Posted May 11, 2022 Thanks guy. That's what am hoping is a more comfortable way of working on her and not being bent over to do that. mtaylor 1 Quote HMS Montague/Alfred class by Gary B 74 gun ship built in 1779
garyshipwright Posted May 18, 2022 Author #758 Posted May 18, 2022 Thought I would add some close up photo's of Montague. I was on the NRG site and came across the article by Kurt on taking photo's of ones work and figure I needed to practice a bit. Guess I have to find a little space for a photo booth when taking good photo's of my ship. Well guys one day maybe I get the hang of taking good photo's, hope you enjoy the close up.

garyshipwright Posted May 19, 2022 Author #761 Posted May 19, 2022 Thanks Druxey and Oliver. Well who know's, maybe if I practice a bit more I just may get good at it, taking pictures that is. The table is a blessing. It has height adjustment and tilt now and its a back saver. Wish I had done this years ago and really getting lot's of use out of it . Really make's working on her a lot more enjoyable. Again thanks guy's. Jeronimo, mtaylor, AON and 1 other 4 Quote HMS Montague/Alfred class by Gary B 74 gun ship built in 1779

Hubac's Historian Posted May 19, 2022 #763 Posted May 19, 2022 (edited) I love the table, Gary! And, in my estimation, you are no slouch with the camera, as well. Really great interior shots of the ship, which is looking very crisp. One particularly interesting aspect for me is the patination of the finished framing; it has a dark, rich color as though the timber has been oxidizing for hundreds of years. It really looks great! Michelle Padoan creates a similar effect, but I would say yours is more convincingly “antiqued.” Edited May 19, 2022 by Hubac's Historian mtaylor 1 Quote We are all works in progress, all of the time.
garyshipwright Posted May 19, 2022 Author #764 Posted May 19, 2022 Thanks Albert and Hubac. The patination is a finish that Ed came up with when he was building the Naiad, which is a beeswax dissolved in turpentine to a dilute solution along with 17 years of time.

garyshipwright Posted June 15, 2022 Author #767 Posted June 15, 2022 Thanks Guys, it keeps me very happy. It does seem that at the moment am building another fore capstan for the main deck. I really didn't like the color of the old one and the new one should be a lot better looking. Now where did I put all those pieces????? Thanks again guy's.

garyshipwright Posted July 28, 2022 Author #775 Posted July 28, 2022 well good sir it's a bit complicated, It seems to have taken me three tries making the barrel, didn't like the darker color wood and then the next one my measurment were way off, don't know how that happen, guess I zigged insteads of zagging. For me it was the whelp's because they not only taper going up but taper going back. The other thing with them is trying to get the scores on the sides of them to line up with each other. Then again I just might of made it complicated. mtaylor, AON and Hubac's Historian 1 1 1 Quote HMS Montague/Alfred class by Gary B 74 gun ship built in 1779
