Because the ports follow the deck sheer and the panels follow the wales all the panel shapes are unique. In addition the area is also slightly concave so building on the model was the only viable option Paul

A progress update after a weekend of "panelling".........
The change in panel shape is clear as the wale sheer drifts upwards away from the gunports. Four panels left to frame in the middle and one left at the bow

Perfect!

I've missed your impressive progress working on the model in recent weeks, well done, Nigel!A progress update after a weekend of "panelling".........

How cool is this detail - WOW my friend -> Double-WOW
Wow Wow Wow. Simply top notch. I can't help it and have to watch it again and again, the blue veneer is simply brilliant.
Thanks everyone for your comments, likes and loves. Truly humbled to come home from work and have such positive feedback from my modelling work..
Humbled is how I feel when I see your work! You have solutions to building situations that I can't even imagine...
I totally agree, awesome work and on top of that
more tricks up his sleeve
.But I am certain our high expectations will be exceeded.
Thanks again Guys
Keeping tight lipped about potential plans for decoration of the hind quarters for now
I need to do a trial section to see if it will look coherent with the rest of the model, if not, then plan b.

I always look forward to your posts Nigel. You put your own signature on your work. The subdued royal blue has a authentic contemporary look to it. The way your panels transition along the length of the ship takes my eyes on a little journey. For me, it has a real nice effect. Well done!
Ahhh but you don't know what plan "A" is Pterlove the colorscheme. Such clean work overall. Great job Nigel, just keep going with plan A!
I am having a break from Veneer for the time being as I have a potential issue that will get worse if I do not correct sooner rather than later.
There is a slight Asymetry in the topsides of the hull amidships.The hull will flex to the correct position but the more work I do on the rails etc, the stiffer it will become. I order to fix in the correct position I am going to instal the internal structure adjacent to the main mast.
As I touched on before, the mainmast needs to go in sooner rather than later as I have wiring that will be concealed for the lantern that sits at the rear of the top.
First job then is to build the main mast as I need to address the deck where it fits as there will be a boxwood insert that takes the mast and Elm pumps. My point of reference is the Saint Philippe Monograph rescaling to 1/65 from 1/36.Materials used are Boxwood and DIY store hardwood Dowel.
Order of construction is slightly different so I can cut a small slot with the Dremel to take the wires and this can be hidden with wood filler as this area will be fully painted. White for the mainmast, black for the top.
What is immediately apparent is this model will be huge when fully rigged and that the standard kit is way off from where the masting should be. When complete, the size will be near that of Caldercrafts Victory, remember though this is 1/65 vs 1/72.
Feeling quite proud, all the work shown below was completed in one day, yesterday. Lots more to do and I am tempted to build the complete mast and yards while I am focused and store everything for later, save the mainmast section.
