Hi Lawrence

Many thanks. Big or small, as long as we have fun building, then size really doesn't matter (LOL)!!!

All the best

Carl thanks for the encouragement and telling me my fingers still have magic. Gerty, Lawrence and Nils thanks for the good words. And to all my other friends, thanks.

When I mentioned the magic in my fingers, it was to say, I wish I had been building boats in my forties. My Eye hand coordination was so much better then. Let me show you. Back then I was doing pysanky, a type of decorated Easter egg usually done by women in eastern Europe. The eggs in the first picture were done about 1980 the second set were done in 2011.

So I say, “What boats I could have made”.

Sorry for venting, hopefully this will get rid of the, “Woe is me’s”.

I had not worked on this one for a while, so I thought I would set up to do the Hull graphics, and realized that I had some small gaps primarily where the Hull and Deck come together and mostly where the planks converge at the Transom. So I made up some filler, using sawdust and titebond 3, I then applied it on the gaps, Sandedup to 600 grit (once dried) and applied another coat of Flat white , Now I can set up for the Hull graphics . Here are the results

The amount of detail in such a small model is outstanding.

Hi everyone

Thanks for all your comments and Likes!

Here are the latest photos of Symphony's progress; in particular I've built the oval shaped rear helmsman cockpit as well as done a bit more on the main cabin, e.g. companion way framing, etc.

The rear cockpit is still to be sanded and fitted out with the seats, binnacle, wheel, etc.

Hope you enjoy the photos.

Cheers

Build log part 5

preparing for attaching the stingers to the frames

all frames are set and glued in. The cut out notches for the stringers are also done

there are three places, where the 3 stand M4 spindles go through keel and square bar. Some supporting ply bits prevent later distortion of keel when spindles are tightened to the stand

spindle fitted in and reinforcement cladding both sides to the keel

there are locking nuts M4 on the inside of ship (into the sqare bar)

bow post fitted in and beveled to angle where the later planking will lay on

Stern is also prepared for putting on stringers

the stringers have been cut with my hand- circular saw, (which I fitted as a table-saw) Then cut the 2 m long strips from a 5 mm thick plank. I wanted to have the stringers over the full ship length in one piece

Starting with the stringers.......

it takes appr. 2-3 hours to have the glue cured, before removing the pins and the pegs for the next glueing session

I`ll have to move the screws that hold the frames more to the outside for having better access to the srews now, before further stringers are put on

the relatively long and gentle bows do not bring too much tension on the on the wooden strips

the tricky part of the job though will be the stern portion, maybe I shall use filler pieces to a certain degree....
