Thank you Bob, I still have enough of those Bamboo rods (for supporting flowers) of which I do the oars from. Very high tension resistant material and easy to chip and cut and sand Nils -
Looks great Michael, I`m not sure if you mentioned it before, but is the engine foreseen for running on fuel ? Nils

Build log part 70 the little gig is now complete, first prototype for the oars is made oar length appr. 2,3 the max beam width oar shaft diam. 2mm, made from bamboo, could be a bit less but risk of breaking under rounding the shaft fits in for the "HMS Pegasus" space on the gallows (in actual it would be a 28 ft gig). I`ll better have to take off the rudder (hook it out) Nils

Martin and Jason, thank you for looking in and for the appreciations, yes Martin, there are quite a lot of small boats om MSW, so one can study quite a lot before doing an own small build I think its only been an intermediate episode Jason, seeing the empty space on my Swan Class and the inspiration to build a ships boat through B.E. and Bob (Rafine), and many others....) Nils

Thank you Peter, its good to have comments from fellow builders..... Peter once its been said and that in line with my own feeling I could`nt resist to trimm the rudder...., took some bulkyness from the rudder-head and from the bottom bow (underwater part), am pleased now. Need to start with the oars now Kester, thanks again for your kind advice on the rowing and seat arrangement, am realy pleased with the result now. Yes I think I`ll take the rudder off when placinig the boat on the ship, but have to complete rigging and sails first Have just added the forward and aft hooking-in eyelets Nils
-
Thanks Kester, the first rowlock on stb-side was moved a bit forward, tust all is OK now. The place for the boat is limited on the Pegasus, perhaps I should have chosen a dinghi or so, but I liked the shape of the gig.... Nils
-
thanks Peter, thats a very nice drawing (Pandora related pinnacle), thanks for sharing, I`m sure the one or other fellow builder may have interest in for building this boat type... For my build I also had the Feeling that the rudder could have been a tiny bit lighter, but I must admit, that the Patience to do it over again was not strong enough, so decision.... leave as is.... If I should hapen to do a small craft in this style again, all this would certainly be dealt with accordingly Cheers Nils
-
Thank you very much Kester, thats a very nice and informative Input, especially because you experienced pulling on a gig yourself. Now that the mast supports are fixed to thwart #2 and #6 the Crew oarsmen will be forced to sit on the opposite side to where the oars stick out, so that will be in compliance to your comment, thanks again.... Nils
-
Thank you Michael, I`m just thinking about how to make the oars for stowing them on the boat (Need 6 of them ) Nils
-
Thank you very much Keith and Bob, I`m glad you like the Little boat Nils
-
very nice work juergen, are you going to plank the entire frames, or leave an outcut for to see the lovely framework ? Nils
-
Update on Captain`s gig.... mast holding fittings and bow clues and and some small parts still missing, but at this stage it looks like what I had in mind gig fits in on the gallows the captain saw that the rudder still requires seaworthy varnish staggered oar-hold port / stb for rowing with long oars, 1 man per seat two crew members are eager to get her into the harbour basin for trials the tiller can be slipped in also with the curve upwards Nils

congrats Rao, there are so many fine Details to discover for the Fitting out of your boat. What about building a number larger next time with plenty of space in between and on the decks..... Nils -
HMS Alert 1777 by Jaekon Lee - 1/64

beautiful work Lee, very detailed framing for scale 1:64, precise and neat, Looks great Nils -
Wow ! Michael I am highly impressed of your skills, your manyfold wisdom and knowledgement for both boatbuilding and combustion engine building. Somehow and with much regret I missed to look into this build log of yours, it is worth every post, most interesting and a delight to study. Do you have a machinery Workshop career ? I presume that you will be operating this Buffalo 2Hp engine per RC control, with the Launch and can hardly wait to see it in action Nils

very nice rigged masttop Danny, I also like the combination of Colors... Nils

Hello Peter, Thank you for your words... I´ll follow your suggestion to allow sailing as well......, but without rigging masts and sails. Trust that will be a good compromize here is a rough illustrated thought i have for rowing mode : capt. at the tiller, six men at the oars, two mastfoot positions with additional support attached to seat 2 + 6 ref. to hand scetch the sailing mode : two masted, without stays (masts just stuck in place), sails acc. a little bit to the rigging of a naval marine cutter for rowing and sailing, but without triangle-foresail Due to the long keel I think that a swivel-centerboard can be avoided arrangement with 6 seats for rowing, (one sailor per seat, long oars) this is a lovely cutter rigging ( borrowed from the web), although its heritage, it may perhaps be too modern ? this could be the arrangement for rowing / sailing my jig... Peter, please feel free to let me know your opinion Cheers Nils

Thank you Juergen, there were times when I got frustrated (breaking Frame parts when removing from the build plate, or breaking out structures from the gratings), but all is mended now Keith, thank you, I still had two Little sets of grating parts I could use here, but not enough to replace gratings where some Little bits had broken away Thank you Omega, It could have been a wee bit shorter in planing, because the model mostly gets a bit longer than planed (but it still fits in) Thanks Popeye, the gratings build 30 x 30 mm in raw condition, so There had to be three single plates, and there is a slight horizontal curvature in the grating floor I`m not sure if there should be four or six oarmen to find their stagered seat Arrangement (one man per seat) and if I should arrange for small mast-foot Settings, and rigging Points, in case the gig should be sailed. In the literature I fould remarks that the gig was exceptional rowed and other comments that they were prepared for saiing as well Nils

Hello Peter, the stowed boats and the sprit topsail on the jib boom are looking great. You did a good Job on tidying up the decks and loose lines, etc. All Looks neat and crisp now, very nice apeal... Nils

Wonderful model Bob, I`m with Omega and also find she deserves a fine glass case for dust protection, allowing to lokk in from all sides... Nils
-
