Thanks Glenn,
Yes, my other hobbies took up some time plus a commissioned non- ship model. This looks like and interesting model. I have never built an upside-down model like this. Fairing could be a challenge as the frames are only 1/16" wide!

The Medway is my first build, and an enjoyable one at that. Are you going to install the simulated bolts on the port side as well?

Thanks, Chuck.
It never ceases to amaze me how well designed your models are. I have just dry fitted all the frames. Not only to they fit perfectly in the slots but every single one is dead vertical. I checked with my square!!
I hope I can maintain this perfection when I finally glue them'

I am starting another of Chuck's builds today and am excited as I have never used this method of construction before.
The first task is to construct the keel. There are two versions - one with scarf joints and the other with lap joints I am going to build both but hope to use the one with the lap joints. Here are the laser cut sheets involved:
The Scarph version is quite simple:
The lap joint version is more challenging. I started by paring away the joint with a sharp blade and then once close the required depth I finished it off with one of these sanding blocks which have sandpaper on the top only and not on the sides
and the two joints assembled:
The two versions are shown here:
The lengths were identical so I concluded that the lap joints were OK. The parts for the notched keel pieces are nicely etched on the following sheet
Bolts for the lap joints are simulated with black monofilament:
These are then trimmed flush with the surface.
After a coat of poly the completed keel looks like this:

Thanks, Ryland. Yes I have done the bolts fore and aft and both port and starboard. I didn't take the right final picture really.

bartley got a reaction from Canute in Stagecoach 1848 by John Bartley - FINISHED - Artesania Latina - 1/10
Thank you guys for your kind comments and for all the "likes".
It is back to ship building after this - possibly Chuck's Medway Longboat , though it is unavailable at the moment.

Post 72: Final Touches
The Stanchions were turned using a hand drill, small chisels and needle files;
The flag was printed on tissue paper. At first I tried printing on both sides using registration marks but exact alignment was still this difficult as the tissue paper moves slightly in the printer. So in the end I used Chuck’s method of printing on one side only and spraying with matt fixative. The flag was then folded over a short length of 0.2 mm thread and attached to the flag halyard:
Now , a few photos of the completed model

Luggage and final tweaks:
A few Items of luggage such as a suitcase, a trunk and a hatbox were all constructed in essentially the same way. A wood frame was constructed and then ech was covered with dark brown Nappa. Hinges and detail were added an the items placed on the roof rack.

And now the completed model:-
