Looking very nice Vane, you're doing a great job!! -
Thankyou CDW, yes where has the year gone? It's always a bit manic in my house this time of year, grandkids and birthdays, 4 of them this month. Thanks for dropping by😁🖒

Hi, finished planking the gundeck, just need to sand it and matt coat it. Things will slow down a bit now because of Christmas. Too much other stuff to do. Thanks for the likes 😀 Cheers 👍

Having seen your dark option and the natural one, my preference would be the natural shingles.

Hi Chuck, would 6mm md be suitable for the bulkheads and former? I only ask as the ply I have is 5.5mm and I recall you saying that may cause problems further into the build. Thanks in advance.
-
I completely understand the reasoning, that fact never crossed my mind. Thankyou for your replies, and considerations on the idea. Cheers

Hello from Derbyshire, Vanguardmodels, a sponsor on this site do blocks and deadeyes. Also Cornwall model boats have quite an inventory of timber and fittings and postage is reasonable. Good luck with your build and have fun!!

Mark, I found making them from wood a lot easier than from metal, I was never very good with soldering. I used 1mm x 1mm walnut, I'm not sure what your equivalent imperial size is. I'll be sure to check La Belle Poule out, thanks for looking in. Hope you've not got too much snow? Cheers

Hi all, thanks LS, I keep doing a little bit here and there. I'm pleased you like it 😀 Not a lot done, a few pieces glued, not photo worthy. I've still got a few bits to sort out then it's back to planking the hull, using Chuck's edge bend method. See you all next time. Cheers 👍😀
-
That sounds like a good idea. No prohibitive shipping costs.

Amazing work Danny.

Hello everyone, I've gone and done it.!! Bought the plans, set up the build log, printed the bulkhead patterns. Just don't know where I'm going to find the time or space for this one though. Thanks for having me 👍😀

Ditto Chad, I'm in awe of you getting that much detail into something so small. 😲😲 -
@SpyGlass Dont care what all you neat workers say - I keep a damp cloth to hand and I can wipe off white glue when I spread it everywhere . CA just attachs itself to me and everything else - but never just where I want it ! I know what you mean😲😤 @Vane great start !! As soon as I've got enough pennies saved I will get Speedy

Thankyou Phil, I took a leaf out of your book and did some off piste manufacturing 😀 Thanks Chad, this stern has caused me quite a few headaches but it seems to be coming together slowly. Cheers 👍
-
Hi, I've cut the top of the stern to shape, and dry fitted it, not completely sure about it!! There be some remodeling yet. The internal bulwarks have been faired, lots of dust and very awkward to do, and the first planks have been glued. Once the bulwarks are planked I will carry on with the deck planking. Cheers 👍😀 Thanks for the likes.

Ok, so this post sees the window openings cut and the sashes made. I don't mind admitting that they have definitely tested me (and my old eyes). Hopefully they'll look better when the details of the stern are done, although I not sure whether I can do detailed carvings. I'm just waiting for the glue to dry, so till next time, Cheers 👍😀 Thanks for the likes.
-
Thanks for that Chad!!😀. I have to admit that I have not spent as much time on this as I have on the full build. But it does keep calling me back when I'm waiting for some glue to dry. There's still quite a few bits and pieces that still need making and fitting, but there's no rush. Till next time Cheers 👍😀

As usual your tutorial is great and will help no end with my own build when I get to doing the quarter galleries. Thankyou 👍 PS wouldn't it be handy now and again to be small enough to get on board and do some of the fiddly stuff 😆

Hi, it's been a while since I've been on the Xsection, but had extra couple of hours in the workroom so made up one of the gangways. The brackets are wood and not metal but I don't think it matters to much. I can't fit it til I've rigged the cannon. Still got the other one to make. That's next time though. Cheers. Thanks to all for the likes and looking in 👍😀

Hi, just a small update, stern counter sanded, made a panel for the cabin windows and dry fitted, I think that the scroll top needs another look at but that will be after I cut the openings for the windows. That's it for now. Thanks for likes, tips and opinions gratefully received. Cheers 😉👍
-
And thanks from me as well

Hi, a bit more re-modelling with the mahogany I'd put on for the main wale being changed for double plank construction in cedar as per Mark's suggestion as I was struggling to bend the thicker mahogany round the bow. At the stern, the counter is planked and I've also started to plank the gundeck and sort out where the hatches and gratings are. That's it for now, Thanks for likes and comments, Cheers
-
Good question Phil as I'm doing Triton now and I haven't gave coppering a thought.
-
She's looking great Christian, I know that feeling as well but I for one am enjoying the spamming 😉 Cheers Jon
