Over the Christmas Holidays I decided to tackle the quarter galleries yet again. This is the third attempt the other two, last year and the year before, failed abysmally. Anyway, in March I experimented with the counter strips, got these out again during the Holidays and after checking, noticed that I could actually use them.
Here are the plans that I have:
The side view doesn't look all that bad, apart from the false windows being too large. But the sectional view is fundamentally incorrect. The side-walls of the quarter galleries shouldn't be completely vertical, they actually followed the hull's tumblehome.
I built up the shape using card templates:
And then used the templates to produce the wooden framing inside the Gallery. Here's the complete framing of the port quarter gallery:
The roof was then built up using thin wooden strips:
The nearly completed port-side quarter gallery after the roof had received the first layer of paint:
After the numerous attemts in cutting out and shaping the counter strips, I became a real pro!

. I did the two for the starboard side yesterday and they turned out beautifully:
The card templates here are the same that were used for the port-side gallery.
