Rob,i hope it will be fun and interesting to watch two very different styles and approaches on same model. one for sure , you will be miles ahead though. i am about to work waterways out. there is no way i can bend such big timber thus in this matter with my scale i have to first draw line over hull into some thin plywood to make pattern than appy pattern to some 5 mm thick wood and cut or sand down as bueatiful curve as possible but to make it so narrow it will be challenge. looks like same will go for sheerline. so challenges on every step will hold me back a lot. ...no rush there.

Slight progress inhere.... Preparation work for planking is not very exciting works at least for me nothing looking dashy yet it is very important one. I finally kicked myself into it, and glued bulkheads first and than I had to stiff and rigid the hull as bulkheads are way apart of each other. I cut same cubic pieces of wood and worked with many leftovers so they fit it the place. It looks pretty simple but one must check if the centerline is straight all the time and so i glued pieces in three sections Yet still i managed to derail bow but there is perfect easy way to return the tide. I cut those inpieces parallel in the place of turn and was able to turn it stright i inglued a wedge to one side and voila. Im now getting closer to sanding the hull which is slow important task. I also checked keel timbers assembly rhough i will have to work scarfs ij them. One disdvantage ship is quite heavy now but those big pieces glued give me assurance it is stiff. the skeleton is now very rigid itself which i like Till next, thanks for watching etc... Vlad.

Rob this is really ticking on my nerves here watching you build. my hands are trembling. it looks like i will curse my rule not to shipbuild during summer. :)) ok im gonna start with waterways.
-
all agreed, Rich Rob I am really suprised how Sharp tip of the bow looks already and its even half of the most agressive curvature installed ! and stern looks awesome sweet already doesnt it? Rob nailed circle pattern of stern i think.
-
this one will be top notch Frank i can say from now enjoy the ride.
-
Rob it feels so good after such theoretical timeconsuming tortures finaly watch the thing. with your progress i guess in few days we will see her planked. tingling tingling..
-
Rob, centerblock joint is loose on mine as well. not sure why. ... Rich, im speechless seing that figurehead....

Great Rob, I anticipate they fit fine as laser guy is very precient and he knows his stuff. There are distances to be set when laser cut so i trust him it worked for mine always im quite confident in this respect. He was soing extra work as well as i insisted he maintains 1:96 ratio he had to recalculate for thickness of wood. he even asks now if everything is ok. ...cant wait only thing i maybe regret now is i changed waterway beam thickness measure to make it bit smaller than original. but im thinking of workaround already together with flying fish plan. its good help to do it that way. im glad you and Rob and Michaels guy sorted out bulwark size... by the way im reading thru crothes American built clipper ship. I learn pelnty regarding understanding hull structural essentials and vocabulary as well reasoning....probably best book in this resepct. V.

How is glory puzzle Rob? do pieces fit it?
-
my goodness this can be digitaly rendered to utmost detail. well if thats someones aim...precious work
-
Rob im going to check Mr. google if there is any site selling commertial copies od this particular paint poster. id be interested
-
Thanks Rich. very improtant piantings i guess. i like Montagues Dawsons glory. though all three rerpesent different painting style my fave is probably 1st as well. is it original ? framed? im not good at piantings recognition but with its almost 2 dimensional overdetailed painting and colour depiction is reminding me of prerenesance italian tempera painters ...although done far far after...but beautiful all of them. stylishly very different. now im going to google - Samuel Warren.

its very pretty isnt it. it gives half of overall aesthetic feel like unseparable whole ...hmm

here you can see highlighted in green. centerline is sanded ( whitish) as it protruded above deck curvature just a little for about first 7 bulkheads. it was old raised sheerline i did correct on holes for bulkheads - but not in centerline heights itself. ...as bulkheads corrected it. V.
-
Rob I see i scared you but there is no need to...its pretty simple when you assemble bulkheafs and push down to the limit so they touch, from the half boat towards bow rise there will be centerline slightly exceeding out from the deck floor... about 1 or 2 milimeters. i just sanded it off. bulkheads should sit fine. pelase note that it doesnt changes any measure or value for bulkheads etc. it just simple old centerline upper curve ididnt rework - all new measures went to sheerline so corelation between touching point of bulkheads and centerline holes.... just follow bulkheads deck curvature on top thats it. i hope it makes perfect sense when you assemble kit. i can take a pic as well.

Thanks for nice words Rich.Well its garden shed or gazebo or whatever they call it. winter is quite cold here so we like to gather and spend all summer outside, around table...working in garden etc....just to provptect from strong sun and rain.... speaking of it, im very much into timberframing, traditional way of mortise tenon and pegs...probably very known and common in usa, and my grand grand dad was a carpenter himself built oak roof structure in own hands etc. unfortunately in europe wood went to asthray and classical beauty of timberframing and wooden houses as well... it is bricks only culture and if wood with screws and nails. people forgot these wooden fastenings without nails... i did it all myself from drying pine logs etc... this shed has 6 meters in longitude so with few more and land i could easily build an insulated house of timber frames..im into this stuff a l lot. barn doors etc....
-
wow this is helpful Rich. thanks so so much indeed. ! youre folks on the spot and hand with whats needed the most you certainly dont want estimated "rubbish" to walk out of your hands.
-
im so curious Rob. you will notice there is slight overhand in centerline from center of the boat towards bow t obe sanded off as bulkheads goes littel deeper but that is nothing. i already did on mine. this appeared as reault of older drawing with even more elevated sheerline and i was a bit lazy to rework it all again. apart of this, Im nurturing hopes Vlad

Thank you Chuck. The thing is, hull is baswood varnished by the experimental tone i am not able to mix again same. Thankfully enough i realised that 2 times applied liberon shellac privides 97 per cent same tone. After hell and nervousness by repaunting captain cabin i decided its no time for color experiments amymore and i could not wait i ask friend to cut upper beams for me ahead of project so i know where to move further as greenwich prototpype became colorwise my natural prototype...and I applied shellac. Those beams will be one of very few i wont purchase / not sure if part of entire chapter but doesnt matter now/ though as i already have those cut. This is what is looks like together with darker pear deck. I must admit if i had realised sooner shellac ca provide hull color, i would have gone with same as hull but amyway , upper deck will be decision to ask for. If to follow lower deck - pear or going with shellac. But that is future. Even applLying even shellac is tedious work as ut can blilotch quite easily if appying with brush - i dont recommend. Best is i think applying by some moisture absorbing cloth doing bites to the wood. I am quite satisfied how it turned out and its finally even so it is approved by my eye sight after taking pics with mobile phonem what to you think going with those? I think humbly it goes pretty consistent even and suporting overal being same tone ad hull...thst what i wanted. Thanks for any comment etc. Vlad

Deck sanded finally. m moving along with things over pear deck....from now on i plan going with natural installations in hull color/ basically french polish over sanded wood. Capstan and columns as well. Maybe no red at all. Best thing i ever did was byuing black wire. I always sgruggled most with blackening wires. It takes time. Still i have to install various things, ladders, etc... Any comments appreciated. V.
