Sounds like I need to spend some time on the Greenwich website! Thank you, Igor, for those wonderful plans! They're super interesting, even if they don't fit the ship itself. I badly want to know where Sergal-Mantua came up with the design. Maybe one day I can revisit the true Racehorse as a scratch build. And thank you for the kind words, Richard, though I feel like a researching neophyte compared to what Igor's able to dig up!
Think I'm going to rename my current project to the GS Quarter Horse. It's scrappy, and maybe 25% accurate.
In the meantime, I discovered an error wholly my own. Beware future builders! When planking I should've waited to trim the stern overhang:
I did this early (despite a warning on the plans that I missed), and now I have a little triangular gap to fill. Shouldn't be too hard. I'm gluing some blocks in there to give the glue something to stick to, and I'll be more cautious on the 2nd layer. Until next time!
