HMS Alert 1777 by Jaekon Lee - 1/64
Mirabell61 replied to Jaekon Lee's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1751 - 1800
beautiful build Lee, the Fitting out of the interior will be great Nils -
hello Dimitris, I know what you`re talking about with those possible hailine fractures in the outside Skin. Sometimes they occur even months after the planking was done an, sealed and painted. Good experience was achieved with this "crack creep" thin-viscosic product UHU Holzfest, if you Need to secure thin cracks, and if already there, from getting larger. If you are going to simulate steel plating, you Need a smooth outer Skin of the wooden surface underground. (that plating put on afterwards can also be structured before applying) One pic without,- one with structure (here riveting structure) happy new year Nils

Hello Dimitris, A very fine built model so far.... I`m with Elia....., why fibreglass,and resin ? I guess scale 1:100 is too small to have her put in the water afterwards. If the actual Hull is riveted, an appropriate structured Skin for the model would be great Nils

Hello Christian, I had a look at your very nice planing for the "Alert" in 1:32, which I find is a beautiful representant of the british naval cutters of that Age. After I started gathering Information and studying Cole`s "Alert" Version on the web with the clinker planking, my Hand already started itching to begin a build of a cutter like this. Your skill of utilizing CAD for lines and Frame planing is amazing, unfortunately I never had the opertunity to learn CAD design during my active career I shall watch your Progress with high interest. and thak you very much for sharing this with us. I wish you a good success and a happy new year Nils

Awesome 1:72-scale HMS Alert build!
Mirabell61 replied to catopower's topic in Card and Paper Models
Clare, somehow I came across your introduction of the 1:72 Version of the Card built "Alert" cutter. Those pics you are showing (links in your post) made my mind turning around building a cutter of this type, but in wood. Wonderful that clinker card-planking, and the whole build is awsome. Thanks so much for sharing this Information ! Nils -
Popeye, thanks, am quite pleased with my work and with the fading out year, hope you have also been a good Boy and Santa has left a parcel at your place, looking forward to your updated Holiday Harbor results soon..... Wish you and our family a happy Christmas time and turn of the year and a good start 2015 Nils

fantastic planking Chuck ! Nils

Thank you very much B.E., after checking with the hight of the boat on the spars and the clearance to the main stay sail, all fits well now, so I can go further with the yards ..... happy Christmas to you and yours and a relaxing years end for sorting and gathering ideas for the new year Nils
-
many thanks Robin, Piet and David, for your kind words...... Robin, yes I realy enjoyed making this little boat a lot, the smallest ones I built sofar are the lifeboats for my bohuslän Piet, thanks for the correct term "Grapnel" anchor, I only knew the typ as Draggen or Dreggen before David, sometimes one gets lost in little fancies, but not more than necessary, too much would overload the small vessel have a great Christmas time and a happy new year Nils

many thanks Alistair, I wish you a nice Christmas time and all the best for the coming year Nils

Thank you Nigel, I saw on the web, related to oar-lengths that there is a factor in relation to the boats beam at that place, That makes sense, especialy when the oarsman sits opposite to the rowlock. Also many thanks for the kind greetings, which I return with many regards Nils
