Hi Greg and welcome to Model Ship World. The technological advancements in CNC and 3D printing have produced some amazing results. Definitely a plus to learn this technology.

For my thimbles, I cut the 1/16" brass tubing slightly longer than 1/16". A thimble is not needed on the horse because the block is seized to the horse. The sheet that is run through the blocks is extra long and this allows the boom to move port and starboard. I have heard of making the eye bolts the way you are doing and it definitely would be a lot stronger than forming a loop on the end of the wire, which is the way I did it. Seven eye bolts are correct. -
Hi Floyd. It sounds like you are making good progress on your Medway Longboat. I enjoyed the rigging progress. I used seven thimbles on my Medway. They were used at the following locations: One each on the two blocks at the upper part of the mast; One each for the backstay tackle; One for the peak halliard; One each at the foresail halliard and jib halliard. I made many more thimbles than the seven that I used. This way, I could pick out the best ones to use on the model. I am looking forward to seeing some pictures of your model.

Hi Tom and welcome to Model Ship World. Please share some pictures of your Victory build and I hope you can find replacement sheets for the missing plans. I wish you the best and hope that the third back surgery will be the last.

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.
