Mike 41 Posted November 14, 2014 Author #122 Posted November 14, 2014 Brian I like the way you did your frieze and will try to do mine similar to yours. Previous Builds: USS Pennsylvania - (1837) Scale: 1:64 Cross Section Continental Galley Washington 1776
Mike 41 Posted January 11, 2015 Author #123 Posted January 11, 2015 This set of phots shows the gun port wreaths installation. I decided to postpone the frieze and other decorations until the hull is complete. hexnut, tarbrush, Archi and 4 others 7 Previous Builds: USS Pennsylvania - (1837) Scale: 1:64 Cross Section Continental Galley Washington 1776
Mike 41 Posted January 12, 2015 Author #124 Posted January 12, 2015 Hi Brian, Thanks I will be adding four cannons to the starboard side. I added a set of stairs where the fifth one should be that also messed up the location for the boarding stairs. I am moving them between the third and fourth cannons. One small change can affect a lot of other things. Mike Previous Builds: USS Pennsylvania - (1837) Scale: 1:64 Cross Section Continental Galley Washington 1776
Mike 41 Posted January 12, 2015 Author #125 Posted January 12, 2015 This is a few pictures of the quarter deck galleries. I had a lot of trouble with the carvings they looked so bad I went with a simpler design.

Mike 41 Posted January 13, 2015 Author #127 Posted January 13, 2015 I have been working on the head rails. The drawing showing the lower knee made a good pattern and fit nicely. The upper knee drawing did not make a very good pattern so I divided it into three pieces using the drawing for the end pieces and used some modeling clay to form the middle section. I carefully removed the clay and traced the outline on a paper pattern after some trimming the center section fit.

Mike 41 Posted January 15, 2015 Author #128 Posted January 15, 2015 Before continuing with the head rails I built and installed the bowsprit so I would not have the rails in the way when lashing it down.

Mike 41 Posted January 30, 2015 Author #130 Posted January 30, 2015 The deadeyes and chainplates have been added to the channels. The plans provide a template for the main channels showing eight shrouds but the rigging plan only shows seven. I am going to use eight. mtaylor, tarbrush and Model Mariner 3 Previous Builds: USS Pennsylvania - (1837) Scale: 1:64 Cross Section Continental Galley Washington 1776
Mike 41 Posted January 30, 2015 Author #131 Posted January 30, 2015 The drawings have good details for the masts and tops. I started with the tops then built the masts. The masts are built but I am going to add the guns and other deck items before stepping them. gjdale, tarbrush, Archi and 1 other 4 Previous Builds: USS Pennsylvania - (1837) Scale: 1:64 Cross Section Continental Galley Washington 1776

Mike 41 Posted March 23, 2015 Author #138 Posted March 23, 2015 The rope for the rigging is made from DMC cotton thread on a ME rope walk about the same vintage as Gene’s it ain’t pretty but gets the job done. I added the crowfeet and euphroe to the top before stepping the main mast. mtaylor 1 Previous Builds: USS Pennsylvania - (1837) Scale: 1:64 Cross Section Continental Galley Washington 1776
