With that speed you should be thinking on your NEXT project... It amazed me the woodwork and the amount of info on your pics. Excellent log. Best wishes! Daniel.

Mike 41 Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share #95 Posted April 27, 2014 Hi Daniel, Thanks it is easier for me to take a lot of photos than try to describe what I have done on the model. My next project will be the HMY Fubbs 1794. I haven’t done much carving and I think she will be a real learning experience.

Mike 41 Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share #97 Posted April 28, 2014 Chuck, That may not be a good idea. I heard the Royal Savage had a bit of trouble in Valcour Bay.

Mike 41 Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share #100 Posted May 2, 2014 I needed to build and install two 4 pounder guns before I could start the framing for the quarterdeck. This set of photos shows how I turned the guns from ebony. I like to start by drilling the hole for the trunnion It gives me a good reference point to take dimensions from. mtaylor, Elmer Cornish, harvey1847 and 1 other 4 Quote Previous Builds: USS Pennsylvania - (1837) Scale: 1:64 Cross Section Continental Galley Washington 1776 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Seiler Posted May 13, 2014 Share #115 Posted May 13, 2014 Be careful with those swivel guns...you'll put somebodie's eye out. Seriously. They look a little awkward sticking up by themselves on the QD, but I can picture the added railing and anticipate they will look great. I look forward to your progress.

Mike 41 Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share #116 Posted May 13, 2014 Thanks JesseLee. Chuck you are right it was a bonehead move sticking the swivels on the quarterdeck before the rail was installed. I had to rework the last two swivel supports once the rail was in place.I have everything clamped up now and will post progress photos tomorrow. Are you making any progress on the Philadelphia?
