Johann

you have done this so many times now that it seems a Ford or VW factory, not a modeller workshop! ;) 

I have three boats for my Colibri Brig, if you volunteer ... :D

Just catching up on your build and watching a few videos at a time. :omg: Doesn't even begin to describe my feelings. I'm watching a master! There are no words. There has never been, there is not now, nor will there ever be a poet that can put into words how amazed I am. Thank your parents for me for conceiving you:)

Norwegian Sailing Pram 1:12 Scale. 2nd boat in the learning series.

 

 

In Dry Dock:

Muscongus Bay Lobster Smack. 1:24 scale. Model Shipways, 3rd in the learning series.

Not sure what'll be next, probably the Santa Maria by Artesania Latina 1:65 scale. Unless someone has a better suggestion for a beginner.

Pride of Baltimore. Model Shipways. Clipper used in the war of 1812.

Black Falcon. Mantua Model. 18 century corsair brig.

CSS. Alabama. E. Manolie? Can't read the font. Build in Liverpool in 1862 for use in the American Civil War by the Confederates. Steam and sail, sloop of war.

 

Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.

Hello Brian,

many thanks for your nice comment.

At the weekend I can have more time for my hobby, the model ship.
Moreover the weather is not so good. Therefore I can show you today a further advance of the construction of the gig.

Hello Michael,

thank you for your interest in my work.

I try with my modest knowledge of English to explain the preparation of this part.
First, the dimensions of the part to be marked with a scriber on a brass plate. Then I saw using a coping saw the inner rectangle from the plate and then I cut with the tin snips, the part in the form.
With the file, the part is finally treated, as can be seen in the picture.

I hope I have expressed it somewhat understandable.

Johann,

 

When you finished your first boat, I thought can this be done any better ...and yes you did that with your second, after which I thought ... indeed the same question, and subsequently the same answer. It seems you surpass yourself with every build you make ....

 

How will this one turn out ... so far you are on track, looking very crisp and flawless ...

 

Cheers

Each one of these small boats is a gem, and enjoyable to watch then evolve.

 Hello,

@aviaamator

 

The thickness is deceptive. One sees from above the gunwales, which is thicker than the planks.

The planks have a thickness of approx. 0.7 mm.
