B and Q do a clear pine board, 1.2m x 400mm x 18mm for around £30. 2.4m is £50 Is the tug wider than 400mm? Other than that most builders merchants have a timber section. Would not a good sheet of marine ply be suitable? A 2.4 x 1.2 x 9, 12 or 18 mm would be around £30-50 respectively. Just chiming in here😉

Looks absolutely wonderful Fred, and yes between you and Glenn, I'm very sorely tempted to do a Cheerful. Maybe a year or two down the line it may come to fruition. Winnie is keeping my hands full at the moment. After seeing what great work you've done with Cheerful, I think you'd certainly make a Winnie to be proud of.

Cheers Dave E. Not wanting to put it off any longer, I sat down with some brass strip and a flat file. The following results may not be perfect, but for a first attempt, well..... blackened makes them look a tad better Need to make some small eyebolts and split rings now. New skills being learnt, as I would have gone off the peg and purchased them before this build. To everyone looking in, commenting and giving the thumbs up, many thanks. Cheers

Denis, welcome to MSW. Do please set up a build log when you start your steam launch.

Just a small update, I've dry fitted a couple of ring bolts Just to see what they look like on the deck I've used brass wire at .5mm, which according to the conversion chart is equivalent to 24 gauge, and blackened If I'm honest, I'm doing these, just so I can put off making the port lid hinges. I'm not sure how or where to start with those, even though I've read and reread the hinge bit in the monograph 🤷😬😕. Any pointers be will be gratefully received. Thanks once more for your comments, likes and visiting. Cheers

It now looks pure WW2 as opposed to late 19th century steampunk! Nice coverage, very even and flat. I imagine it is pretty easy to get drips, considering all the small parts, railings and crane jibs.

With the deck done and finally just going with something approaching a quadrant profile for the waterways, I've moved on to the rudder. I had a mishap with topmost bracket on the sternpost, as in breaking it getting it from the fret🙄. With the hole in the counter drilled, I fitted the cabin benches. Also a start be was made on the gun port lids. Inbetween all this I'm also making up some eyebolts and split rings. I tried Glenn's (glbarlow) method for the eyebolts, not a great success for me, I could not make them consistent, so I went back to the twist method. Thanks for all the comments, likes and dropping by. All is greatly appreciated. Cheers

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
