I've almost finished the planking, I'll have a little sanding to make it smooth.
Mauro

Hello Doris, great job, as always !!! I downloaded every single picture of your model, it is a veritable encyclopedia of ship modeling !!!
Mauro

I started to lay the first planking , the kit had to be very old because the strips are virtually dry ...... even keeping them to soak for hours. Are prone to breaking, I put them carefully and forcing them as little as possible. At the end of a good sanded remit all right!
Mauro

Little progress in my ship yard .....

Mauro

I finished putting the reinforcements, soon I will spend the first planking.
Mauro

I have finished the construction of the "dory", here they are on deck.
Mauro

Hello Pete, you're making an interesting project, I will follow with interest your building!
Mauro

It's always good to see builders using whats at hand. It shows you don't have to go to a store front to get the job done. Nice fix.

Hello Bluenose, the imagination often gives us effective solutions with little expense -

Mauro

Hello Mauro!

 

Is there room for another to follow along?  A little while ago I read a review on this kit and have been interested in it ever since and can't wait to see what you do with it!

 

I like the idea of the wood moulding for reinforcements too.  That is very clever!

Hi Bindy, of course there is room for you  !!!!! Reinforcements wooden L-shaped are my idea "patented" a few years ago ........... sometimes even I have some nice idea.

See you soon ...

Mauro

Hi Bluenose , it's nice to have a companion navigation in the construction of the Beagle, good job!
Mauro

Good start, that wood molding is a good idea never thought of that.

Thanks Robert, probably reinforcements are not necessary, but with a little effort I have a much more robust hull!

Mauro

I will be keeping an eye on your build for future reference. Good luck.

Hello Mauro,

Looking forward to seeing your work on this model. This is a kit that is on my bucket list!

Best wishes and clear skies!

Gabe

Thanks Gabe, I hope that my work on the brig you like it ........

Mauro

I removed the deck to be able to work from inside the hull, I broke the bulwark stanchion of the frame .... will fix them later. I put the wood L profile to reinforce the coupling keel-frame .
Mauro

Hi Bluenose , I also have the monograph of Conway, I will use it to try to correct the errors in the kit. I hope to obtain a sailing ship fairly faithful to the original.
Mauro

Years ago I purchased a kit of hms Beagle already started by another modeller, I have now decided to start my model as "Fisching schooner" is coming to an end. Here's how it appeared at the brig at the time of purchase .  
Mauro

After preparing the dory I returned to work on the model ...
Mauro

Slowly proceed with the construction of the dory ..... start to see the finish line!
Mauro

That's great.  Nice size for your boat.

 

Bob

Thanks Bob, your opinion is very important to build my model !!!  

Mauro

The dories look great.  How long are they?

 

Bob

Hello Bob (sorry if I miss a bit of time out of your yard, it really is very little free time!), The dory measure 9.5 cm (less than 5 m. Reality) ...... do you think are large??

Looks like you are going to be doing a lot of fishing

David B

We hope that fishing is plentiful David, otherwise tomorrow I'll have to diet ....

 Mauro

The dory fleet continues to grow ........

Mauro

Here is my small fleet of Dory! It will build 8 but in the model it'll only be 4 or 6, the most well-made.
Mauro

I forgot, I wish you good fun Sergey!
