Nice job Grant, those two large counters (odd name to me) appear complicated in their shape and even more complicated to place correctly.

Certainly does Grant, terrific job.
Nice step on this complicated aft part, Grant.
Regards, Peter
Thank you Paul. Took a while but came out reasonably ok. I can work with this going fo
Thank you kindly Keith
Cheers Grant
Good morning Daniel. They are pretty complex( Kudo to those guys who scratch make them) and meet 3 different parts all at differing angles. I got them pretty close…..hopefully this remains true when I take her out the jig.
Goodwin refers to these as side counter timbers , Sutherland as stern timbers and I have seen them called fashion pieces. To me they are those twisty thingings at the back on the side….
.Good morning Gentlemen. Thank you very much indeed. Your support and encouragement always makes a big difference…..especially when I feel a little out of my depth so to speak. Cheers GrantHey Grant,
that looks excellent once again Grant. That's great craftsmanship. I'll be happy to see any progress you make. I think I can learn a lot from you here.
Cheers Günther
Beautiful work Grant
Thats the best description yet!To me they are those twisty thingings at the back on the side….
Thank you kindly Gilbert.
Good afternoon.It was a cold, wet and blustery day today so I bunked going to the office. My desire to make more carlings, beams, ledges and knees was null and void. Ricochet Rabbit decided to come out and play.
The kit partners and chocks for the masts are sad so I scratch made a resemblance of these. I did not notch the fore/aft partners to accept the chocks as these where already fitted. (I had a feeling I would cock this up).
Here is my attempt cut from some left over cherry.

PS. Not yet sanded. I’m trying to be more accurate in my cutting and be less dependent on sanding…..hmmmmm.

Very pretty, Grant! Except for that last part.Good morning Gentlemen
While I wait for the new parts I am going to deviate to deck beams and carlings etc.
Firstly I need to poly the internal frames below the clamp line. I was very happy, indeed, how the Cherry came out. It looks way better in real life and try as I may I couldn’t share this with you guys:

Grant, you could also put the camera even closer so we can really see any flaw in your craftsmanshipGood afternoon.It was a cold, wet and blustery day today so I bunked going to the office.

My bet is that all of the angles look perfect when your eye isn't pressed against the deck. Lovely.Blessings.

or you can put the camera so close that everything is blurry and we can't see any of your flaws....
You are doing a great job !

Good morning Gentlemen. If you do close ups you only see a few flaws vs a whole multitude……or you can put the camera so close that everything is blurry and we can't see any of your flaws....
You are doing a great job !
Thanks for checking in on my ship guys- I do appreciate it. Cheers Grant

... True story! It's a wooden kit, not a bacterial colony. To me, those mast partners are nicely executed. Good job, Grant!or you can put the camera so close that everything is blurry and we can't see any of your flaws....
You are doing a great job !
Thank you Albert.
Good evening. WIP : Some more scratch building. The partner and chocks for main mast and the inner ducks for a chain pump. The kit does not include all these yet from my research a frigate has this. I included some lead lining for the ducts……all WIP.
and then a deep uncontrollable urge of unimaginable force ……the jig had to go..,
Cheers Grant
