The Quarter Galleries - Jotika H.M.S VICTORY 1805 Manual

The Quarter Galleries

Paint the quarter gallery as shown (Photo 037).
Note: the black and yellow bands do not follow the black and yellow bands of the hull painting.
Identify and paint yellow, the quarter gallery window frames (510, 511 & 512), again do not remove these components until
required. Fit the frames into their respective openings, taking care not to push through the recessed area and glazing.
Identify the quarter gallery false baluster patterns (627, 628, 629 & 630) and paint as shown on (Photo 037), with a black line
running through the relief top and bottom. Fit the patterns to the quarter galleries as shown, any shortening of these patterns
should be done at the fore end, and they should be bevelled to run into the hull side, some tweaking may be required to ensure
a good fit.
Identify and paint the quarter gallery lower finishing and drop decoration (672 & 673). Secure the pattern to the underside of
the quarter galleries and the hull side, some shaping may be required to ensure a good fit.
Note: there should be a slight overhang where this decoration joins the lower stern counter pattern (372).
The two quarter gallery top decoration patterns (73 & 178) can now be glued to the top of the quarter gallery, the outer edges
of these pattern will require bevelling to follow the run of the quarter gallery. Likewise the inner and aft edges will need to be
bevelled to sit flush against the hull and stern fascia.
Using Plan Sheet 5 for reference, four lengths (each side) of brass profile 1 are fitted to the quarter galleries. The first is
painted black and runs along the outer edge of the uppermost quarter gallery top decoration pattern (178). The remaining three
are to be painted yellow and secured to the quarter galleries. The first runs along the topmost edge of the first skin, directly
above the windows. The second runs along the join of the 5th and 6th skin, directly below the windows. The third runs along
the top edge of the quarter gallery drop decoration. The second and third should also be joined across the transom, following
the curve of the upper stern counter pattern, also with brass profile 1. In order to achieve this, they will have to be mitred. The
fore end should also be bevelled to run neatly into the hull.
