The 32ft Pinnace
                              I built the Pinnace in the same way as the other boats, but did the decking differently, and a bit of white lining on the paint job, on the sides, to make the boat a bit more like the Captains boat,, I have really enjoyed building these boats, so much so that during my next project I am going to build some more at a larger scale,they will also be painted as they were in service, as this added to the boats protection on long voyages and will also be carval built as supplied to ships in service not in the channel.

The Display Stand
Before building the Pinnace I decided to build the display stand, I very much liked the one Mobbsie built for his Aggy so I take no credit for the ideas or the design, so its my version of Mobbsies stand.

Thank's Nirvana.
Now I sanded the hull. Sandpaper with the grit 100, 150, 220 and 400.
 




 
Removed from the plate wales plank. They are from the pear. But the hull are from the pear too. Hmm... The pear wales on the pear look not very good... And I desided to change the plank color to the black. For this I used the wood finish MINWAX, color ebony. But the result is not good... The planks become not black, but the dark grey... So, I try to use the cheap black ink. At last the result is very good.
 




 
Glued wales. End sanding and corrections. In some places paints again. And the finally result.
 






 
Regards, Antanas

The next boat to be completed is the 26ft launch built as the other two plus some photos of all three only the pinace to do now as before the early stages done but on holiday for two weeks from Sunday so they should all be completed by the end of the month.

The next boat to be built was the 24ft cutter, which was built the same as the 18ft one again it was a mini build and again towards the end I have started the next boat. I am also very pleased how the boat has turned out and looks nice with the blue painted band, and quite workman like with added oars,anchors,ropes,boat hooks,and barrels.

Ships boats
I decided the next job was to build the four ships' boats,I started with the smallest one, the 18ft cutter, this was to be my first real build of a ships boat, as the ships boats on Pegasus were hulls I fitted out. Again the kit drawings are a bit basic, so using the boat kit as a starting point, I built the boats adding detail from The Anatomy of ship Diana s  drawings, off the ships boats and will hopefully, using the experience gained on the first one built, be able to build, the others even more closely to the books boats. ( below is a photo of the the kit plan for the 24ft cutter and the plan from the book)
The cutter hull build went OK double planked with some 4mm x .5mm timber I already had, I made sure to overlap the joints of the first planking with the second planking to add strength (after a little bit of filler to the the first planking), the frame tabs were then broken off and the hull sanded inside and out with only a tiny amount of filling required, I then planked the bottom inside, the A O S Diana shows fore and aft gratings, so some wooded packs, and a plastic moulded one were ordered, they were both way too thick, so I cut the shape for the aft one from the plastic grating, and then reduced its thickness, and it looks fairly good,next the internal frames were added using plastic strip and painted yellow ochre, and the the seats added, the wash strake next, again from plastic, and the row-locks were then filed out. The tiller was again made from plastic sheet with the hinges added and lastly the tiller arm, the outer hull was then painted, on the 18ft cutter a green band waqs painted, and the rest of the hull satin white. Lastly the anchor, boat hooks, ropes and oars were added for effect, overall I am pleased with this cutter and hope to improve my small boat building on the other three, and I have made a start on the next boat whilst waiting for coats of paint to dry on this one.

Ray,
 
I love those 3 fantastic looking ship`s boats, real little gems..., well done !
Question: the green, blue and red stripes on the different boats, are these for better identifying by the crew ?
 
Nils

Hi Guys thanks for the many ticks and comments
 
Mort

    oars 65mm A4405/01 (used so far)
            85mm A4405/02 ( to be use with the pinace)
    Kedge anchors 11mm A4400/01
all were from the every reliable C M B
