Hello there, I received this as a birthday gift and was going to kit bash it into an English east coast (Norfolk) lifeboat (Henry Ramey Upcher) but after a long think about it have decided to use the basic pattern for the lifeboat as a scratchbuild, therefore I can build this as is, also it will be practice for clinker planking, which I've never done before. (Well not intentionally) More to follow. Cheers

Ahh yes, I didn't make it clear, Hobbymill EU (I believe he has Chuck's permission to do this) only does the wood strips in a package for Winchelsea, and that getting laser cut chapter parts from Syren (Chuck) may be the less expensive option. Sorry for any confusion.

If you can cut your own bulkheads and keel former, there is a vendor in Estonia (Hobbymill EU) who does a timber package for Winchelsea, then just purchase the laser cut chapters as and when you require them. If the cost is not too much the customs and vat are pretty low on smaller less weighty parcels.

A belated merry Christmas to all, and looking forward to a better happy new year! Thanks Ben, mine will be about the same when done. Still plodding on with the planking, but now only 3 bands to complete. I found working from the keel a pleasant change. working with wood glue is much less messy than CA but slower I reckon I've another month or so before I'm finished planking. The piece missing from the keel has been knocked off when I moved Winnie and I decided to leave it off till I flip her right side up. Thanks for watching and the likes, Cheers

Very tidy and precise work Glenn, but after watching your Cheerful, I've come to expect nothing less😊

New Member Rock Harris: An Introduction
Edwardkenway replied to rock harris's topic in New member Introductions
Welcome to MSW -
I feel I'm on the homeward stretch with the hull planking now, just two bands each on port and starboard sides. I've redone the lining out to reduce the risk of ending up with a narrow plank. it all looks pretty even and symmetrical to my eyes! just a bit untidy, but I'm hoping a good dose of sanding will go some way to rectifying that. especially at the bow! Anyway, the last batch of planking is imminent, then it's onto the stern and QG's, which I must admit I feel a bit of trepidation at. That's it for now, thank you to everyone for the interest and continued support. Cheers

Since building the Triton cross section, it would be something I would definitely be interested in!

Well, with work and other pressing matters, planking is progressing very very slowly 🐌 I have two bands completed on the port side and I'm halfway through the second band on the starboard. The transition from Hull to counter has been a trial, with several planks being removed, replaced and removed again. As it stands it's not the prettiest but it is smooth. It's going to be a fair while before I can flip her right side up😊 as I've reverted to using titebond glue because I got in a proper mess using CA. Thanks for watching and the likes! Until next time, cheers.

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.
