With a couple days away from the sweatshop, and time spent in the workshop instead....I managed to finish the port side. At least it is finished for chapter 3 and matches the other side. Now I will turn my attention to the stern transom and all of the carvings and details that go back there. That will complete this chapter. One note...the two figures on the quarters...you will need to file a groove along the back so they sit flush and in position. Something we couldnt do when making them. This will vary from model to model. This needs to be done because the qgalleries stand proud of the transom edge forming a small alcove. Filing a small groove or slot down the back of the figure helps it sit nicely in the corner. You will no doubt find this out when it comes time. Its easy to do. I think I matched the starboard side pretty well.

They look really good. Well done!!

Best way in my opinion is to just paint it black with acrylic paint. Very little danger of ruining the piece that way. You will have so much more to paint black that I would seriously not recommend that at the way to do the other parts. But fortunately you made a great save and it looks good.

Nice start!! I am sure you will enjoy building it. Dont worry about any warping. Once you put it on a build board and use some brackets to straighten it out, it will be fine. Use as many brackets as you need to straighten out the false keel. Once the wales are planked you wont have any worries. Chuck

That really looks nice. I dont think the others know just how small that carving really is. A fine job indeed.
-
That looks very good. You are making some quick progress. Take your time when you start lining off the hull below the wales however. That will really determine how difficult the planking will be....if you line off the hull well enough it should go much easier.

Its really no more difficult than the Fair American or any other plank in bulkhead kit. You will do just fine. This project just has more details....if you use the laser cut parts it is just like any other kit. you just need to go slow and enjoy the ride. And with all of the help here you cant beat the experience of learning within a group and seeing the many different solutions presented for each challenge.

Thanks no i wont be painting anything white. Unless you have a few other items painted white or use ivory its too stark. I have seen that however. With the friezes and everything else going on i dont want it too busy. But as you mentioned, there are plenty of options. It just depends on how much you want to deviate from the original contemporary model based on your own preferences.

Merry Christmass to all!!! Yes indeed...As I finish up the work for each chapter I will make all of the laser cut parts available that I used. This included the scrolls, windows, and parts for the qgalleries. No worries there. You can choose to buy them or not. You can always scratch build the parts for that chapter if that is what you want to do. You have both options. Chuck

Shawn....thats great. Are you going to start a build log of the winnie?
-
Nice steady progress. She will look great set into a diorama.

Better to use 6mm rather than anything too thin. The lite ply at national balsa is the stuff i use. Its what my Winnie is made from.

Have you browsed the build logs for other al harvey kits. I am sure we have a whole bunch with pictures. Check out the index of build logs in the kit build logs forum. chuck -
Rabbet/Bearding lIne
Chuck replied to shortgrass's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
Hard to say without a picture. The best way to determine that is to temporarily put the bulkheads on and follow the edge of each. The bulkhead edge would theoretically continue into your false keel at the same angles. Unfortunately, because its a pesky double planked hull that will complicate matters. -
Really nice progress Rusty....you will have her all planked up in no time.
