So precise for such a small size! You definitely have a sharp eye and a steady hand!

Your model is turning out beautiful, I have enjoyed following this blog. I seriously once drew up a boat similar to how yours is looking, but only drew the side view. Would you be willing to sell a set of plans? For how much if you do sell the plans?

So one of the items I have undertaken recently in building my Yacht Mary are the futtocks that go between the main ribs of the hull. This is because I am attempting to make this model admiralty style. Merry Christmas to all and wishing you all safe construction with smooth sailing.

Hi Brian
 
It's great to see you back at the work table.  Your Mary is going to look lovely when she's done, especially with her beautiful sheer line, rakish bow and gilded ornamentation.
 
Oh, and have a wonderful Christmas and New Year!
 
All the best
 
Patrick

So one of the items I have undertaken recently in building my Yacht Mary are the futtocks that go between the main ribs of the hull. This is because I am attempting to make this model admiralty style. Merry Christmas to all and wishing you all safe construction with smooth sailing.

Patrick, yes I like being good friends with Mr. Geometry, he has saved my butt more than once.
 
I had a good productive day yesterday and made good progress on the hull. I have added notes in the pictures that should explain what is happening. I have discovered that the hull planking will require some strip planks because of the 3" width of the sheets I have.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Now back to the forward hull.
 

I moved on to the engine compartment and built up the basic box with with the top edges shaped to match the work deck. I located and glued it into position align on the center line and used strips clamped to the side to match the deck surfaces.
 

 
Here is the working deck glued in place with the compartment locations penciled in for reference when it comes time to cut them out. I will leave the deck solid until the hull is completed for extra strength and reduced flexing.
 

 
Once the deck glue was set I added the two compartments adjacent to the engine compartment. I am not sure what they were for but could have been battery and air compressor for the diver. Here they are in place. I also reinforced all key joints that will help when deck surface is cut away. I also added the intermediate bulkhead to develop the hull curve from the transom to bulkhead #8. 
 

 
I cut clamp holes in bulkhead #8 to assure a good tight joint when glued.
 

 
Next I cut the bottom surfaces of the hull using a side piece to develop the tight edge joint. I will glue the bottom surface on first so that the side surface will be smooth and joint free when viewed.
 

 

 
Next I am moving to the forward portion of the hull and using a 3/13 x 1/16" strip to define the hull sweep using the bow reference mark, bulkhead #8 and the reference dimension from the CAD drawing and clamping the strip to the ruler mark. From here I will develop the froward bulkheads. I am also pondering the notion of a solid carved nose section; but will decide that once the bulkheads are in place.
 

 
Back to the front bulkheads.
 
 
 
 
 
 

I added a deck brace to develop the curve from the forward edge of the cabin area to the bow.
 

 
Next I build up the cabin sides with window flanges to provide gluing surface for the windows. I also added a center piece to provide a clamping surface while working on the hull. The cabin roof will go on once the hull work is done. 
 

 
Here is a picture showing the hatch door open
 

 
This shows the window flanges using .020" strip stock.
 

 
Here I added the center board of the forward section of the hull with edges pre-carved with slight angles. Again I used the prints for patterns. When gluing the prints to the wood I use 3M 77 spray glue with a light tack coat to lightly stick to the wood. To remove the print I just wipe with a coat of lacquer thinner and then clean off the glue residue with more thinner.
 

 
Next I will move to the rear working deck area and add the center board there.

Beautifully built model so far and welcome to this group. I will be following this for sure. Keep up the good modeling.

Patrick, most of us would say it's just about finished, and a lovely boat she is.  But I know that, for you, this is just the start and I can hardly wait to see all the minute details that are to come.

Thank you very much to all!!
 
The stern light is ready:
 

 

 

 

 

 

Amazing that you are making such details at that small a scale. Doing a great job, Daniel

Hi Steve
 
That's a really impressive piece of engineering there. I'm sure you've made it look easier than it actually was.
 
Great job!
 
Cheers
 
Patrick

in the meantime I have tried with some decoration of the stern

Well done.  Now for the, as you called it, fun of furnishing the interior.

Hi folks
 
I'm back! Life's been really hectic over the past few weeks, which has meant that I've had little time for MSW, catching up with people's builds, or working on Shadow. Hopefully, things will ease off so that I can get back to some normality.
 
Anyhow, over the past few nights, I've kinda reached a milestone with Shadow - that being the completion of the construction of the major components of her superstructure. With that milestone behind me, I can now settle down to detailing her interior accommodation and the myriad of above-deck details. Fun times ahead!
 
I hope you all enjoy the photos as much as I'm going to enjoy catching up with everyone's build logs!
 
Cheers
 
Patrick
