Thank you kindly, Oliver.

Your work is truly impressive Doc. Clean and perfect. We can aspire to do work like this !

Hi Tony, looking forward to your return to the forum this winter.

Wow that workmanship is just supurb, stunning.

My thanks, Richie.

Welcome back Paul - Indeed Vienna is such a beautiful old-world historical -city -- Food not so bad either

PS: meant to ask -- did you have a chance to visit this place - link below form a member

"Heeresgeschichtliches Museum" - Military History museum in Vienna (Austria)

Here in Vienna is the so called "Heeresgeschichtliches Museum" which means something like "Military History museum". One part is also the Navy History of the austrian-hungarian Period

Cheers,

Hi John (M), we weren't there with enough free time to visit any museums.
I'd like to learn what the city budget is to keep all the buildings cleaned so they look white. Must be in the millions of euros annually...

as always, wonderful on your newest piece of art !

Thank you very much, Jeff.

Magnificent work.

Thanks for the visit Richard - and my thanks.

Paul I only have the Bonhomme Richard drawings to compare to it, so I don't know if it helps but it has these fillers in there with a straight vertical round cutout in them.

And welcome back, I am glad I didn't have to go over there and drag you back to your desk like I was planning.

That makes a lot of sense, Rob. Thanks for taking the time to share these images.

I agree. The entire space (Helm-port) was filled with wooden inserts.




It's just that this drawing in the book is very poorly drawn. There really were wooden horizontal inserts. They are visible under very high magnification.


This was the case on all ships.
This is also described in Boudriot Jean. The Seventy-Four Gun Ship. Vol. 1

This is very helpful, Iutar. I am at work right now but when I'm home I'll take a closer look. Is that Plate 5? If memory serves, my drawing is somewhat different (?). The production model clearly shows the fillers - but how do they relate to the top of the stern post?

Bike riding this afternoon along the Danube, and a concert tonight in Vienna. Some of you get to live in some pretty remarkable places!

Paul, my dear friend
A very belated Happy Birthday Congratulations on your 40 year anniversary,
wish you all the best and happiness my dear friend

Thank you again @iutar for posting this drawing from your 74-gun monograph:



Here is the (same) drawing from my SP monograph:



As you can see the detail of the opening for the head of the rudder is conspicuously absent. I confess that this recent finding has not restored any confidence I should have in the accuracy of JCL's work.

Regardless, I will proceed according to standard practices and include the fillers.

Thank you again @iutar for posting this drawing from your 74-gun monograph:

Dear Paul! My drawing is not from the book about the 74-gun ship, my drawing is from your monograph on the SP! Here it is, larger.

Ah! I see it now! You are showing plate 18 and I am showing plate 5. How interesting that they are different depictions of the framing (yours at station 31 and mine the stern facade). My humble thanks as I learn how to handle these drawings.

 

[Daniel20]

Hi Paul, once again I have played catch-up to your build. Great pictures of you and your wife's celebration trip(congratulations) and review of your ship's stern. Also, a very belated happy birthday!

Thanks, Daniel. Much appreciated!

I would love to report on the magnificent progress I have made since my last posting - but mostly I have been installing 'fillers' that are a necessary addition to the framing to accommodate the gun ports. While necessary, I have found this phase of the build to the remarkably unsatisfying.





I have also roughed in the helm port and fillers associated with this portion of the framing:



This last bit will require some additional fine tuning (fairing / sanding) but that will need to wait for the fabrication of the rudder...

Hey Paul,
what are you doing?? I'm speechless.
Oh, if only I could work as cleanly as you! You have my deepest respect...

It's great that applying these 'fillers' builds up the tension until the 'moment suprême': setting the saw in the frames. It's bound to happen sometime... But till now your work looks very nice, Paul.

I'm with Gunther here. Installing these fillers may be "remarkably unsatisfying" to you, but your work is always amazingly clean and precise !

 

[RogerD]

I’m playing catch up again Paul and in that time you've had a birthday, had a vacation and started the next quality year with your lovely lady.

But it’s always a pleasure to catch up or just keep up with your superb work, fillers and all .

Thanks, Peter. Indeed, everything gets more serious when the saw comes out...

Thank you, Jeff. A lot of walking back and forth between my work room and the garage...
