Looking very nice Liam, great choice for the next project! there's one or two snake logs on here, I've yet to make the leap to more than one mast. Good luck with Snake but as you're doing fine with Sherbourne I'm sure you'll be just as good😁👍 -
Coming along very nicely Bruce 😁👍

Woohoo a grasshopper, the green jackets charge down to reinforce the farm. I've been patiently waiting for these to arrive, nice, very nice. Perfect R+R, sitting painting with friends 😁

Have a good trip Derek, Whitby is a lovely place and shouldn't be too busy! I love the way to put a ring on a block, I'm going to have shamelessly borrow that method

This looks interesting, as you mention in your post in the plans section, most non North American people's knowledge of these Great Lakes ships is this one because Gordon Lightfoots song. I hope to broaden my knowledge 😉 Looks to be a good start 👍

Good save Scott, it's a continual learning process with these builds isn't it? Looking good though, those laser cut bulkheads look really nice.

Looks good Gerry, seems like you got just about sussed 😉 That's a monster of a plank bender!!

I recall that you'd done some plank removal on Cheerful and how you were happier for doing so. Therefore this helped my decision along with Chuck's advice.👍

Good morning everyone, The decision to remove the planks was hard but as Chuck points out not to do so would have caused difficulties further into the build. So off they came and the lie of the wales was redone and carefully a "second" first strake was fitted, the rest just flowed and I'm back to where I was with the starboard wale first layer done. The gap between the port sills and the black strake now allows for a full 1/4" plank and a small amount of notching on the subsequent plank. I myself feel happier with the re-work. I've also made one of the bollards but have plenty of blanks on hand in case of mistakes. Thanks for all the likes and comments, they're appreciated. Till next time, Cheers 😁👍

I'd been looking it up too, I found it in this book, and basically gave same description as Sjors got. Patterson's Illustrated Nautical Dictionary, unabridged 1891.pdf

Hello, looks like I'm a bit late to the party but hey you're doing great, it's looking a damn fine motor car!!

and welcome to MSW

This is a bit of a downer post 😥as made a schoolboy error and the wales were not low enough midships and did not have enough space to put a full width 1/4" plank on underneath the midship gun ports. I would have been notching round the ports on the first plank above the black strake. After an hour or so measuring and re-measuring I made the decision to remove the few planks I had fitted and start again. Thanks for all the likes and visiting and hopefully the next post will be good news. 😏 Cheers

Won't like that one OC, hope you are ok? I now have a mental picture of you on all fours setting your soldiers up in the road😏😁

Could you get the Admiral to shake while you paint 😁? The ammo/mig paints I have already have the agitator ball in, a good shake and they're good to go.

Glad it was helpful Fred. Got a few quiet hours early morning today and the first planks have been fitted. Thanks Chuck for the information on the run of the wales into the stem as I was able to alter the position of the test batten before glueing any wood👍 Planked lower counter, laser cut pieces are superb! First planks fitted, it's a good job there's another layer on top. Starboard side wale, just need to take even more care and eradicate small gaps in future. I have one question, what have people done underneath the lower counter where the planking terminates? Thanks for stopping by and the likes, till next time. Cheers 😁👍

Thank you kindly Vlad👍😁

welcome to MSW Vanguard models have Alert HM Cutter if you want to go via Alexander Kent or there are several sloops, EG HMS fly, pegasus or snake from other companies. Whatever you decide start a build log for as Mark says there'll be plenty of help and advice.

Hi Fred, just re-read your log, and you got a hull to be proud of. The cherry looks beautiful with the finish on it. The QG's look fine and I love the colour on the transom. One question: where did you get your cherry strips from? Great job and may it continue in chapter 4👍
-
Thanks Fred, I did look into getting a Byrnes but with vat and import it was more than twice the cost of the Proxxon. If I take my time cutting with the Proxxon and using the .5mm blade it's doing the job and more if I'm honest. I'm happy with it! Btw Chronos Ltd have it UK ready ! I have to admit I've bought chapters 2 and 3 from Chuck as I feel the stern and QGalleries are a step too big for me to scratch, (maybe on the next ship). I'm liking the challenge and if I produce a model a fraction as good as those in the group I'll be very happy. 😁 PS thanks for the likes everybody 👍
