Hi John, I built Euromodels version of the Royal William, I thought at the time that I had done well and produced a nice model but now I’m deflated, seeing your effort makes mine look like a toy. The difficulty and execution of yours is so much better it’s in a different league, You have my admiration. Ken
She is going to be a beauty. Wonderful work.
Thanks guys for nice comments and the likes, sorry I'm late replying,

Attaching the cannon in the waist,
I should have done these before attaching the gangways above them, so I had to jury rig the recoil ropes, because I couldn't get to the bulwarks I had to just drill a hole for the ends of the rope to go in, hopefully they will not notice too much,
View along the deck,
a close up view,
Best regards John.

That's what I call a nice view.
I am sure the only person that will notice is yourself, great work john.
Cheers,
Stephen.

Making up the ladders, I had some decent bought ladders, however i needed them a little bit narrower than they were, so I built them as they were and then when the glue had dried I cut them down to a narrower size on my little saw, the pic shows one being put together with the cut down one behind it.
after two have been cut down,
this is how I cut them down, I had plenty of ladder sides and I found it easier to glue them together and then after the glue had set I cut them, the glue held them together nicely so I just glued on a new side,

I've been putting off this job, making and setting the sheaves into the side of the hull, first off I had to cut a hole on both sides of the hull,
after making up the sheaves, test fitting before trimming the bras wire to size,
and after gluing in place, on reflection I should have blackened the sheaves before fitting, maybe the varnish will be enough, there is a decorative moulding to go in the slot above,
thanks for looking in, any questions just ask,
best regards john,

and a few pics of the ladder ways installed,

Now I have to make a decision, whether to use these three boats that i made up from kits, if I use these then I have to install skid beams which the RW did'nt have or to use a least one of the last two boats that I have scratch built ( the last two pics ) and to use the Gallows with spare top masts,I have to have a think about it, what do you guys reckon,
The top one is a launch and the bottom a Pinnace,

The decks all taped off ready for the final painting of the bulwarks,
thanks for looking in,

The clinker build hull of your boats is looking very good - Bravo!
