piratepete007 Posted January 10, 2015 #1 Posted January 10, 2015 Looking for some help again ! I am working on the Euromodel Pinco Genovese and there is 'portico' (which I think translates as a 'little verandah') that is a steeply slanted 'roof' offering some protection from the weather with two doors that open outwards enabling people to enter a lower deck via a ladder. The diagram explains it a little better ... but what is the best nautical terminology for this covering ? Appreciate some assistance. Pete Brian the extraordinaire 1
Tadeusz43 Posted January 11, 2015 #2 Posted January 11, 2015 HI, I think it is companionway. Tadeusz mtaylor and davyboy 2
Mark P Posted January 14, 2015 #4 Posted January 14, 2015 Companionway it certainly is! Mark P Previously built models (long ago, aged 18-25ish) POB construction. 32 gun frigate, scratch-built sailing model, Underhill plans. 2 masted topsail schooner, Underhill plans. Started at around that time, but unfinished: 74 gun ship 'Bellona' NMM plans. POB On the drawing board: POF model of Royal Caroline 1749, part-planked with interior details. My own plans, based on Admiralty draughts and archival research. Always on the go: Research into Royal Navy sailing warship design, construction and use, from Tudor times to 1790.
