HI spider,,, have you started the copper taping?

I finished the tiling about two days ago. They give you plenty. Only used about 2/3 of them. Maybe a little more.not yet mate, gonna stick all the little green tiles (1 bag) on first to give me the vertical joints (scale) then tape over the top,
It's HMS "Victory": Her Construction, Career and Restoration by Alan McGowan but I have loads of books about her,Hello:
Which book did you use to plan out your tile layout?

Thanks for that Ken... I am following YT's build closely on here and formerly on MSW, he shows some really neat tricks to get around the stern gallery issues. However, what I am NOT looking forward to doing are the beakhead timbers, these bad boys:I've been following your build all along. I just finished my tiles a couple of months ago. (now working on stern) What the mamoli plans show is basically correct. I also saw those plans on MSW a few moments ago, (on rob's site) I also stressed on the tile lay out. (just a little). From the looks of it, you're doing fine. Wait until you get to the stern, that's a whole other mess.
Yeah...... that has been on my mind also, as I will be finishing the stern in a couple days. It's those three curved 1x's is the question? Port and starboard. Correct?Thanks for that Ken...

yes mate, in fact all the bow timbers if I'm honest. YT put some lovely photos on his build showing how he bent the laminated planks to get the correct profile. I will do it, and to be honest it doesn't really matter if i get them slightly wrong, I'm only building it for myself, it isn't the real ship, just a model of her. it's just my impression of her!1 (if I tell myself that often enough I will convince myself I am right!!)Yeah...... that has been on my mind also, as I will be finishing the stern in a couple days.

Mate, you're more than welcome. I only got them because other people recommended them to me on here and MSW forum.Spider:
Thanks for your book references.
