slowly working in forward direction on the boats deck.......
Last two days made this little intermediate platform with deck-planking and two skylights ( two more lights and three vents also still to get mounted on this).
Am nearly at the position of the 3 rd. funnel....

Well since people are showing up I guess it's time to get the party started. At present I do not plan on steam. Here's the story. You are at home with the boat at your dock and you say, to the admiral, at about 5:45. "Lets go across the river and have dinner at that nice restaurant." Well first you have to go down to the boat and start a fire and oil every thing as you wait for the water to boil and produce a head of steam. By this time the admiral is getting pretty hungry and has gone back up to the house to eat. Leaving you to do whatever you want, as long as it doesn't involve her. No, steam is fun but it takes too long to get going.
My plan is to build the clipper bowed one as a personal boat similar to the first picture. The other may end up as an excursion boat with row seating inside. And now for the disclaimer. Plans may change without warning.
Bob
This will have a clipper bow.

Mirabell61 reacted to michael mott in Albertic by michael mott - FINISHED - Scale 1:100 - RESTORATION - Bassett-Lowke Model
It was a productive day today, a couple of friends came over and moved the model into the house,(stable temperature). I was getting a little concerned by the temp fluctuations in the shop. It is heated with wood, although there is a heat exchanger for the in-floor but it is not easy to keep it even through the cold which is on its way.
I also cobbled together a simple bench as part of the trolley that the model is on when I am up and dancing again in a week or two I will finish off the trolley base with some additional shelving.
I also have a place to relax.
I was thinking if the ship was the same scale as the cutter it would be 76 feet long on the other hand if the cutter were the same scale as the ship it would be only 5 inches long.
And it allowed me to clean up the computer desk, so now I don't have to move stuff when i want to type or draw. the Computer on the left is for my drawing it is a stand alone and running XP the one on the right is connected to the web and is running 7 professional.

This will be a fun project, Bob, with plenty of on line pictorial resources to draw on if needed.

Back before anyone knew what a bucket list was, one of the boats on my bucket list was an Edwardian_launch Since I had not been able to find drawings of a launch I liked, I decided to design my own. So out came the books and a few hours (days) later I have what I think will be a nice hull. The cabin and seating will come later.
As I was cutting out the bulkheads for the hull I happened to notice the 1:200 scale bulkheads for the Pequot that I had just finished. They were what I started with before I changed to 1:100 scale. As it turns out they are very similar to the 1:48 scale launch parts I had just cut. My design has a clipper bow and the Pequot has a blunt bow but . . . So I’ve decided to build two at the same time. Something I’ve ever done before. I expect to have fun finishing the design on both as I build. As Popeye says “it’s in my head” .
