Hey Rob,

she looks so beautiful. It makes me want to run around. Your deck is amazing. Beautifully realised. I hope I can ask another question? What is the width and length of your deck planks? I hope I haven't already asked you that question? If so, please excuse the old man asking.

Best regards

Günther

Gunther..they are a scale 6". The model is 1/8=1ft.

I began to add the forecastle railings to protect the companionways and leading edge. Still need to add the chain ropes in front of the companion way slide roofs.

Rob, so nice!! I like it so much...

Rob, it's the well thought out details established on a relatable human scale that sets your realistic vessel apart from a pretty mantlepiece decoration. Mike just sent me 3 scans of Howard Chapelle's lines plans of 1850 clipper Stag Hound from his 1967 "The Search for Speed Under Sail." Using my cell phone app, transferring them to a word doc I combined the seperate pieces in a whole. Disregard the body plans aft of the sheer lines, as they had to be corrected separately. Here's my results. I also found the small half-hull model in the McKay statuette to be quite similar to Cornelius McKaysmodel.
