Dan, it's looking like she's off to a great start! By all means, borrow all that you like from my log--I did much the same for some of my stuff (later in my build, I borrowed a lot from contemporary models at the NMM website). I initially felt the same about planking as you do, but it came together once I actually started doing it. Glad you're having fun--that's the main thing! Cheers, J -
Gregor, the bell looks great! Wishing you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year as well! I'm looking forward to following your great build into the New Year! Cheers, Jay

Dan, enjoy the build! I also chose this AL kit for my first build--ran into a number of issues with the kit, so I hope your build goes smoothly. However, the kit has a lot of room for deviating from the instructions and etc. if you choose. About the planking...if you don't mind the recommendation, I suggest not following the kit's instructions. Give a shot at planking the hull the way a boat actually would be planked, this may be more difficult but it'll be great skillset to have for your future builds. There are a few JB build logs and photo galleries on MSW for reference; also Google John Earl's "Model Boat Yard" web site--he has some good stuff on his site (sorry, can't past the URL into this post...there's a bug in the new IE 11 when it comes to pasting content into forums ). That's a wonderful gift from your wife--I hope you have a lot of fun! Cheers, Jay

That's great that your kit arrived, and welcome to the motley crew of Sherbourne builders, Jan! Looking forward to following your build! Cheers, Jay

Kester, I answered in my log.

Gregor, your bowsprit looks wonderful--excellent work! Likewise, your soldering work looks very nice and your catheads look great! Kester, I hope you're feeling much better (I thoroughly enjoyed reading your post on rigging your Sherbourne )! Tony, looking forward to your next update and seeing what you come up with for doing your blocks--I know it'll be another great innovative solution! Must report that my recent work in my Sherbourne yard doesn't make for very exciting posts for the time being. Additional plans from the NMM recently arrived, so am back to slowly re-drafting the draughts (my drawings are still a bunch of horizontal and vertical lines at present); likewise, I have some research coming that may hopefully shed some light on a couple of issues. It's always a treat to see how everyone's builds are progressing and yours is looking very crisp and sharp, Gregor! Again, well done on your recent work--I like it very much! Cheers, Jay

crooked keel
Jay 1 replied to ed stein's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
Hi Ed, if your keel is crooked, it can cause countless problems later with the rest of your build. If your kit is Model Shipways, I recommend ordering free replacement parts from the company & starting over. If it's another company perhaps you can post pics so that others can asses how bad it is and etc. Cheers, Jay -
Sorry, I wasn't plugged in for a couple of days--thanks everyone for getting the game going again! Cheers, Jay

Quietly following along your latest project, Michael--very much looking forward to her unfolding in your very talented hands! Cheers, Jay
-
She's looking great Tim--her sweet lines are really showing; well done! Jay
-
You got her, Joe and yep, your spelling is on the money--figured she'd be easy and fun. Handing it over to you, sir! Jay
-
OK I think this one will be fairly easy and likely give you all a few laughs when you find her name! Cheers, Jay
-
Hi fellas, I'll get a pic up this coming evening! Cheers, Jay

Queen of Kent? Jay
-
You're right, I smelled blood and couldn't resist! Glad to see you at the workbench, Sam and a PM later this week sounds great--it'll be good to catch up! Jay
-
While glued and burnt fingers and broken parts are one thing, bloody sails are an entirely different matter: you've crossed over to the darkest of sides with those, Sam!! Kidding aside my friend, she looks like a fun project and I'll be following along your bashing! Cheers, Jay

Is she the Northern Maple Hockey Puck Beaver? :D Jay

Well done, Eamonn--you nailed the ship! :) Here's a link to the Canadian and women connections: http://icyseas.org/2012/06/07/moira-dunbar-and-women-in-science/ Your turn, sir! Cheers, Jay
-
You're spot on with the South direction! Now consider the 2 other clues in relation to about 45 years after Amundsen... Jay
-
Nope, Jud. Eamonn, nope--in relation to your earlier guess: consider Poles and my "change direction" hint... None of the clues will be in her name but they will help with figuring out where she sailed.... J
-
Eamonn, not a bad start (& made me laugh)...another clue from your guess: change direction... Jay
-
Thanks, David! Okey-dokey, here are 3 clues: Think Poles, Woman, and Canadian. Good luck! Jay

Stella Polaris

Michael, those eye.bolts look great! I hear ya about the fly tying rig--I've been following that thread also, and it's got me thinking as well... Last blocks I did were with a 3rd hand; it worked but definitely would like to find a better way. Jay
-
Michael, it's always a pleasure catching up with your build--beautiful, new treats each time! You not only always wow me with your outstanding work, you also now wow me with your ability to take photos while both your hands are engaged! Cheers, Jay
