Eh beh , nickel mon pote !
.
No, really!
. We'll see. . .
Haha! Nickel is the shiny metal plating that goes on the outside, the french use it to mean "finished, clean and tidy" You know you should trust google AI about as much as Mamoli plans, right ?What ho, shipmates! Jeff! Peter! Bill! Martin! Grant! Mike! That's a lot of approbation! Thank you! But really, Martin, "perfect?" - at least that's what the computer translation says you said
Seriously, thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to look and to send your thoughts.
Blessings. Peace. Gratitude.

That's much better, Martin! I'll work harder to avoid the spell of the robot overlords!
Pete! I agree with you! I decided to go full plex with my cases including the bases - the admiral likes it better and so do I - gives the impression that the ship is floating in the air and the case kind of fades away - all a matter of taste - particularly the admiral
Awesome.What ho, shipmates!
Wabi sabi. That's one of the secrets of my mastery of this fine art form
Here's how the poop deck shaped up, plenty of wabi sabi and you don't even have to look that close. So, I did what I said I would do. When I got home yesterday afternoon, I removed the offending planks port and starboard. Happily, I did not purposefully edge glue the planks. There was, however, a certain amount of squeeze out in a couple of places that had the same effect. In any event, the montage shows the removal and replacement process and the addition of waterways. Also, this time, I made and fitted all of the remaining planks before I glued them down - which is what I should have done in the first place. Perhaps my work in Shangri-la Shipyard today will allow me to finish with the waterways and get the wood oiled

Bill - very cool! Our shipmate Martin @Martin By Eye is working on a scratch build of L'Aigle and put me onto this monograph. Are you building that ship too?
Why, Grant Tyler, you're making me blush
!
Thank you, Brad! Yup. I had to learn that lesson the hard way. As to the cabinet - someone did a great job on it and the admiral had to have itBeautiful case...best to keep them under glass!!!
But also very cool cabinet that she sits on. Those front panels look like a complex joinery project
in preparation for attaching them
Jerry! I thought they were rigging screws! Glad I didn't order all of those deadeyes yet!
I'll make sure to check the lay of the mizzen shrouds - thank you! It would bad terrible
if I had installed that railing and then found that the shrouds had to be fed through it to avoid the sharpish bend by going over top of it. As to the angle of the stops for the mizzen shrouds, I'll probably take the liberty of having them match the angle of the shrouds. Perhaps the draughtsman decided not to run them over the windows and that's why they're set at those peculiar angles. For me that means making sure I determine the location of the strops before I put in the windows. !
