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

Quarter Galleries

Refer to (Fig 001) for the correct assembly of the quarter galleries. Time patience and care will be required during this stage of
construction but you will be greatly rewarded by the end product.
During this stage of construction, it will be necessary to glaze the quarter pattern skins (365, 367, & 369) before they are glued
into position. Should these skins require any filing or sanding then it should be done prior to glazing.
Cut out the main quarter gallery inside pattern (373) from the 1.5mm walnut sheet together with the stern fascia inner skin
(374) and upper stern counter pattern (371).
Identify, label and remove all the quarter gallery patterns from the 2mm walnut sheet.
Temporarily pin the inner stern fascia pattern (374) centrally across the stern extensions. The lower edge of the fascia pattern
should follow the angles of the stern extensions, (Fig 002).
Insert into the side slots of (374) the top quarter gallery pattern (215) and at the same time fit this top pattern (215) into the
pattern (373).
The main quarter gallery inside pattern (373) should now locate into the two slots in the top gunport pattern (270), at the same
time the downward and outward angle of the top quarter gallery pattern (215) should be maintained, (Photo 008).
