minimini reacted to druxey in Greenwich Hospital barge of 1832 by druxey - FINISHED - 1:48 scale
So, back to work. I cut strips of footwaling to scale size, then cut a trial piece. This is exactly 4' 0" long, whether by design or coincidence I'm not sure. The actual footwaling will be painted a subdued maroon color, rather than the bright red of ships' bulwarks. There is evidence of this in paintings as well as on the state barge of Charles II, although this boat is obviously earlier and has been heavily restored.

after the glue on the false keel was dry it was time to fit the rabbet strips and complete the stempost and when I was done with that I decided to assemble the bow fillers how they looked before they were assembled and after and finally how they will look when they are put on the keel Michael

minimini reacted to Rustyj in Cutter Cheerful 1806 by Rustyj - FINISHED - 1:48 Scale
Hi All,
After placing the first two strakes it was time to line off the hull. The hull
was divided into two bands of 9. Each band was laid out using tick strips
and a planking fan as Chuck described in his log. I also added the second
layer to the wales now. I will wait to paint them until the hull is fully planked.
Here is the first belt fully planked.

minimini reacted to Chuck in HM Cutter Cheerful 1806 by Chuck - FINISHED - 1:48 scale - kit prototype
Today I finished up the bulwark details. All of the cleats and the pinrails have been added. I also made the catheads. These warrant special note. These were made in two pieces. They were shaped from a 3/16" x 3/16" strip. Care was taken to shape the inboard leg of the cathead to fit snug against the bulwarks. It had to be shaped to fit around the waterway and spirketting. The top portion had its two sheaves simulated in the usual manner.
The cap rail was then notched out to accept the cathead and the two sections of the catheads were fit together ahead of time. After the notched cap rail was ready...the two parts were tweaked until they fit well. Only then were they glued together and painted.
Hopefully sometime this week I will begin putting the gun carriages together or maybe make the belaying pins. I dont need that many belaying pins for this model so why not make them from scratch as well.

now I think is time for a little up date on this model, I decided to throw the old model out and start over again why ? because I made too many mistakes as I made the first drawings, so instead of to constantly correct errors on the error on the old model I decided to start over.
I've created a set of new drawings and finish cutting the new parts
the last image is of the false keel of a Danish 74 scale 1:48 the small model is a Danish gunboat also in 1:48
Regardes
