Your flip open style of building this is great. Really like how you get to see the inside that way. Your great detail work on the insides needs to be seen. Later 42rocker | ||

Guess that's what drew me to "the dark side", scratch building. The opportunity to model interior details like you have here. | ||

I did not bring the ropes inside because I want to be able to open it. Another thing I did not show is that the inner ends of the rudder are somehow attached to those semi-circular slides on the deck, which most likely makes both rudders turn in tandem. I omitted this because the plans are not clear on how this was done. Gene | ||

There are two other views (profile and stern view) but they only show the shape and dimensions of the rudder itself, with no details of the mechanism on the deck. Gene  | ||
