Tail boat by AntonyUK - 1/16 Scale - Fun build - FINISHED


Recommended Posts

Hi.

This is just going to be a fun build while getting the drawings for the Gondola done.

The design comes from a district called Mandalay. In centra Burma.

The only thing I have is the video.

As you can see by the video it's  a very long boat that is quite simple. 

The model will be 100cm in length and made from anything wooden I can lay my hands on.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_9oJErubzfY

I have made a building frame as the boat has a curved base from bow to stern and also a curve across the section.

Have just put a Pdf file of my drawings.

The floor just laid on the jig.

I will try and build this as the video shows with internal supports and joint covers.

The reason why the scale... I can purchase a plastic model car engine and mount it on rear bulkhead. With the extended shaft and propeller.

 

As I have said... It's a fun build...

 

Regards Antony.

Hi.

Another couple of photos.

First side planks in position and glued.

The supports are working a treat as the angles of the bulwark's are spot on.

The shape of the boat is such that the planks just lie without forcing them into place.

Floor frames and side frames will be added after transom has been fixed.

 

Regards Antony.

Extra supports will now be added to support the upper planks when I attach them.

Antony,a fun build it may be but it's also a build of an unusual vessel. Watching the video brought back memories of when the Wife and I lived in Thailand. Used to see these Long Tail Boats regularly on both the Mekong and Chao Phraya rivers. They are a common design in S.E. Asia I believe,will be following this build.

Another update

Just the half planks to fit on the Bow and Stern. And the planking is finished.

Then it's the ribs to be added. 30 of them. And transom.

Photo as it is now. Stern first.

Hi.

Thanks for the likes.

Yves.. yes I have a few figures that fit the scale. Also have a model engine that will fit onto a frame that will sit on the transom.

Hi.

Have put in all the ribs and bow nose.

First the centre section looking towards the bow area.

Hi.

The tail boat is now complete. Car engine still has not arrived. So no photos with the engine mounted with shaft and prop.

The scale works out to be around 1/16. That would make figures for a 6ft person would be 114.3mm high and a 5ft person being 95.25mm high and not forgetting the 4ft person would be 76.2 high.

Does not match any figures that I have at this time.

Full length of the boat being 1010mm in length and 125 beam.
