  1. This is my build log for the Model Shipways Katy of Norfolk Virginia Pilot Boat kit. This is the plank-on-bulkhead version. This is my second attempt at a model ship build. My first being many years ago and I did not get far. This particular kit I started some years ago and got as far as marking the false deck and gluing the frames. The framed skeleton moved around my kit stash and storage, losing bulkhead extensions along the way and I found I few that I had saved and glued them back on. So I am left with enough that should allow me to create bulwarks above the deck line or I could go with the log rail option. But just in case I bought a second parts kit off eBay that had complete keel and frames figuring I could use those instead. Turns out that kit was complete so I am going to use my original kit as a "training model" and see where it takes me. My plan for this kit is to learn POB building and complete a kit. This is one of many ship kits in my stash and I have others I want to get to but I am afraid of ruining or be unable to easily replace. With that, my plans for this kit are: Rig it with the two-piece mast and optional shroud lines. Take a little "artistic license" and built it as a four gun privateer as it might have been in the War of 1812. Deck cannon will give it some character and let me do a little scratchbuilding and cut some gunports. If I can dig up some sail cloth, perhaps rig it with partial sails. See if I can follow the great planking tutorial from Chuck and see if I can get most of my planks done without stealers. I'd like to do this with a single layer of planking but have the second layer in case I screw up. With that, here are my pictures of my starting point. This is where I am starting from. The missing bulkhead extensions, the ones I could find replaced and the original false deck as I had marked it for mounting. In reading through the instructions it said to cut the 1/16" rabbet after framing and deck mounting. I decided that my first work would be file in the rabbet while the deck was not yet glued down. Not much so far but official made wood dust! I am thinking of making replacement bulkhead extensions from the outlines in the laser cut sheet and some scrap material. So that will likely be my next work along with mounting the false deck. The shipyard is open! Matt
  2. This will be my first build log in the forum (and hopefully not my last). I had previously started 15 years ago on the AL kit HMS Supply, but soon realized I was in over my head and have decided to jump back in and work on a solid hull as I contemplate POB and POF kits in the future. I am a bit along and have already shaped the hull, carved out the bulwarks and slot for the bowsprit, and am now working on fitting the transom along with some finishing touches on some additional sanding. Previously reported details in another build log on the Katy are accurate with respect to the need to use wood filler in some places where the factory machining of the hull was a but uneven in areas. I'm very excited to be able to share progress with everyone.
  3. This is my first build. I tried a POF over 30 years ago and it was a disaster. I am giving it another try but decided to try a solid-hull instead of tackling planking. I selected the Katy of Norfolk by Model Expo. It appears this had been a planked model but has been reintroduced as a solid-hull model.
  4. I just got a used 1/4=1 MS Katy of Norfolk schooner off of ebay the other day and I need some advice on it. The kit is MISSING the following items: rings for the sails, the boom/gaff yokes, parrel beads, an anchor the belaying pins they say should be in the kit, the rudder, rudder hinge, rudder bar, keel stem and stern post instructions that make a modicum of sense. (what's in included is rubbish), blocks and deadeyes that are not 1/8" in size, mastcaps. What IS in the kit: hull (partly carved), rigging, a packed of itty bitty deadeyes, a packet of really tiny nails, a packet of blocks that a spider couldn't fit a web through the hole, wood for the masts, bowsprit, blocks to carve for the hatch/cabin, two pieces of wood I am guessing I am suppose to make the sternpost, rudder bar and keel stem from, really useless instructions, a packet of itsy bitsy teeny weenie eye pins. I will use the instructions to make sail templates and then make them from silkspan So what i need is advice on where to buy the blocks (in bulk), deadeyes (in bulk), anchor, bit heads or belaying pins (in bulk), mast caps (I will probably make these). The other thing is SIZE of the items needed. Most everything is in MM out there and I don't know what MM is close to scale for 1/4 inch = 1 foot. thanks, Keith BUILDS : AL Scottish Maid (complete) AL Virginia Schooner (under construction)
