Welcome to Model Ship World Barry. I hope you do a build log on your Cutty Sark. -
Hi Melissa and welcome to Model Ship World. The Swampscott Dory kit is an excellent kit for the first time wooden ship modeler. I hope you start a build log of your model when you receive it so we can follow your progress.

Lynn, a 3/16" drill bit is 0.1875" wide. The hole to be drilled is only 1/8" (0.125") deep and it is located on the bottom of the overhang at the stern. As the instructions state, be careful not to drill through the hull. The top of the rudder will fit in this hole.

Re-doing tasks is an important part of this hobby. You will never be happy for yourself if you knowingly leave a mistake on your model. As druxey said, mistakes do have a way of compounding themselves if not corrected.

You have nothing to lose by trying to glue this piece on. I would place the garboard plank on a piece of wax paper and try to glue the little sliver on. It is doubtful if it will work because it may pop off when you bend the plank. But it is worth a try and if it fails, you can always order a replacement part. The other option is to cut your own plank using the outline of the plank from the sheet where the garboard was laser cut. I doubt if there is any excess wood in the kit, so you may have to source a basswood sheet from a hobby shop or possibly Michaels or Hobby Lobby. Good luck on this.

Thanks everyone for your comments. I put this build on hold while I was building my Medway Longboat and some other projects. I agree that it is time to get back to work on this model. We have a couple of members of my club that are building this kit, so I plan on joining them as I am a little further along in my build. It will be nice to see this kit finished.

Hi Tom. Glad you pulled this kit out of the closet and started this build. It is an excellent kit and should be a fun build.
-
Nice start to your build. Your model railroading experience will help you on this build.

Hi Alex and welcome to Model Ship World. The Lowell Grand Banks Dory is an excellent introduction to wooden ship modeling by the first time builder. If you get a chance, please post a picture of your Lego ship in a bottle.

Nice start to your build. You will learn a lot on this build plus you have an excellent start on your build log. I look forward to following this build.

Hello from Mocksville, North Carolina

Hi Scottie and welcome to Model Ship World. As Hank said in the above post, you have come to the right forum to enhance your wooden ship model skills. -
You have made a lot of progress on your Longboat and it is looking great. You will find the masting and rigging very satisfying as you head to the finish line.

Steve, I have a set of Glardon-Vallorbe 5 1/2" needle files that I use a lot. These are the #2 cut, which is a medium cut. I recently received a #0 cut of these files which is a course cut, but have not really used them yet. I was surprised at how often I use these files. https://www.ottofrei.com/Glardon-Vallorbe-LA2442-2-Needle-File-Sets-of-6-5-1-2-14-cm-Medium

Lynn, I am glad to see you step up to a more difficult build. You will do just fine, especially with all of the support that you will receive from the members here. I tagged your title for your Phantom and I see that there are many excellent build logs for this kit. It looks like Model Shipways has replaced the old instructions with a newer guide to building this model that was written by Chuck Passaro. His guide is a big improvement over the old kit instructions. I look forward to following your build.

Welcome to Model Ship World Blair. You will do just fine on your Chaperone build judging by the excellent work on your model railroad. I love the era that you are modeling for your model railroad.

Hi Doug and welcome to Model Ship World. The dory is an excellent model for your first build. I look forward to following your build log.

So sorry to hear about the flood damage to your home. These tragic events are happening too often. Don't let this stress you out.
