hi all i am at the stage of fairing the hull and working on the gallery support area. i have uploaded some pictures as i need some advise. do i need to fair the back more as the official build shows the lower end of the support sanded down to almost non existant. mine isnt. do i need to sand more? also the support gallery planks should they be sut square? or do they follow the line of the planking? if i bend my plank round the uprights it appears as if i will on get about 5mm when i get to the top?

Darrend, before worrying about the gallery, you first need to sand the final couple of stern frames flush with the stern post mount which the stern post fits to later on; the side-on profile should run in an angled line top to bottom rather than the bulged out profile you have currently got because of the frames not being flush with the false keel, this area needs to be sorted out before you proceed with planking at the stern. See the photo in post #7 of this link to my build diary http://forum.model-space....aspx?g=posts&t=814

hi tomick thanks for the quick reply. sorry total novice here. you say to "level the final couple of stern frames flush with the stern post mounts" what and where are the stern post mounts. do they have a number i can refer back to in the mags?i think i understand that i should sand it down at an angle from top to bottom. looking at your pictures i can see what i have to do with tapering the end down sol that i can do. not sure still on the 1st part- sorry.

Darren,the stern frames need to be sanded down so that they are flush with the false keel,the rearmost frame will lose practically half its thickness at the top & disappear completely at the bottom exposing the next frame which wiil also taper somewhat at the bottom when you have finished.By the time tou have finished you should be able to fit 8 planks on the stern gallery although 8th one will need trimming a bit. Hope that is clear for you...sorry if it's not but I have a pounding headache at the moment so not thinking clearly. Rob Nolli Illigitimi Carborundum!!!Current Builds: HMS Victory, SV Thermopylae

i will expand on what tomick has said and others.at the back end(stern)you have fitted 3 frames together,the false keel is the piece you stuck those last 3 frames onto,you sand these down so that they are flush with the false keel,the very last frame will nearly be sanded off and the next frame will have a fair chunk off as well.btw this part of the stern will now be known as the transome. Current builds: SotS, USS Consitution, San Felipe, D51 loco, HMS Surprise, RB7, Arab Dhow, Jotika HMS Victory Completed builds: HMS Pickel, Thermopylae, Mississipi river boat, Mary Rose, Cutty Sark, San Francisco II, HMS Victory x5, Titanic Lifeboat, Panart HMS Victory Launch, Hachette Titanic, Virginia Schooner, Endeavour Longboat. http://www.model-space.com/gb/
