The fairing of the starboard side transom went without a hitch. They look rough. But so does the rest of the hull. The final fairing will be done when I pull the model from the building jig.
I left a lot of material on the first set of transoms, being my first time doing this process I wanted to make I was good with enough material. It went well so I went ahead and removed enough material to make the fairing a bit less time consuming. The tape was there to protect the sternpost from the rough fairing.
Building this portion of the model did not seem to me to be very hard to do. Measuring and transferring those measurements from plans to material and rechecking payed off. The practicum for this part of the build was very informative.

Nope Mark you not missing a thing. They are bigger. This is my first doing this. So I left more timber. Just did not want to screw up and have too little. The starboard I will shape them with less material as suggested in the practicum. Just covering my butt. Wood be a bear to have to remove them if not enough material.
Practicum suggest this shape will I will do on starboard...
Off course the wider side towards the deadwood.

Hi John
Been gone a long while finally read thru your whole log here to catch up. Love the history of your chosen projects. A nice model in the works.

Ok I am in the process of adding the other 4 transoms. I took all measurements from Hahns plans. All pieces are 1/8" in thickness including the basswood spacers. You will see pictures of the plans. To bar any issues from showing this online with all this copy rights thing going on, the pictures of the plans were taken at an angle to distort them a bit.
If anybody sees that I have an issue with my transoms please tell me because I am learning. I am following Bob's practicum. Which has been very helpful. Learning a lot here!

Cap'n Rat Fink reacted to Jim Lad in Francis Pritt by Jim Lad - FINISHED - Scale 1:48 - Australian Mission Ship
Well, she's finished! Not yet on a stand or in a case, but finished. I completed the sidelights last Monday and fitted them in the shrouds and did a bit of tidying up around the model and that was it.
I'm not sure what will happen to her now, but for the moment she'll remain in the model makers' display case at the museum as we currently have an exhibition on pearling showing.
Thanks to all those who have encouraged me over the course of the build.
Here a few photos.
John
