"I'll try and do better on the next one" ............still the critic talking.....eh, Den? the level of craftsmanship you've put into this ship Den, is nothing short of outstanding! the time you've put into this build....well worth your effort. may the R.W. be another crown jewel, of your creative talent! Best to you my friend.......CONGRATZ! :im Not Worthy: :im Not Worthy: :im Not Worthy: :im Not Worthy: :im Not Worthy: :im Not Worthy: :im Not Worthy: :im Not Worthy: :im Not Worthy: :im Not Worthy: :im Not Worthy: :im Not Worthy: :im Not Worthy: :im Not Worthy: :im Not Worthy: :im Not Worthy: :im Not Worthy: :im Not Worthy: :im Not Worthy: :im Not Worthy:

very nice rudder..........well thought out

jeeze Dragzz.......sorry to see your doing all this. it appeared to me that the aft deck platform lifted on you in the front. all you would have had to do is correct the angle of the platform by shimming it in the rear, or remove material in the front. the aft platform should flow along with the main deck. I also notice that there are bulwark panels.........with this in mind, I usually run the first plank just below the main deck line, so when the panels are installed, the mating between the planking and the panels cannot be seen on the inside. of course, your taking into account if there are bulwark posts, and the height of the panels, because that will change where the first plank will lay as well. I see that there is a stern panel......if it is taller in height than the bulwark panels, it will make up for the gap left left by the first plank, in relation for how it will lay at the stern. the plank line being straight all the way to the stern, will dictate how the rest of the hull planking will run........even with tapering. taking into account for all of this, will also determine, whether or not you'll even need to double plank the hull. the best way out of this problem would be to correct the aft deck platform, so it flows with the main deck line, then add the bulwark panels. keeping the panel lines flush all the way back, will set up the plank line, and make it easier for you.

that is a sweet idea......clamping the planks in place as you go. I did something like this with thin mahogany.....something I would definitely do again I'll have to try paper....looks neat!
-
catching up is really the pits! I didn't even notice the problem with the foot ropes..........but you got it sorted out and now your full steam ahead! Fonzie is looking great in the new threads.....ayeeeeeeee!

nice progress Wayne! I've never seen this type of construction before, so I'm finding it very interesting really neat concept!
-
yes, I'm well aware Rick.......from what I've read here and what I've gathered from different articles, this is one of those kits that should have come with a contingency manual actually, I'm glad now that I held off on building it....I will know better when I do How did it go Brenticus?..........did your MUM like it?
-
shrouds are looking very nice
-
not to mention the height of the bulwarks........nothing to save you if you got knocked over probably where the 'all hands on deck' comes in

for a first build, your doing a fine job there.........the mix of wood grain and paint is really nice, there's a good balance between the two aspects.
-
the deck is filling out nicely........looks really good
-
I changed them to match the relation of the bulwarks......I had cut them down a little and flattened the curvature. the waterline is down far enough.....it should be good I do seem to be a bit too far astern on the last scupper........I'll see what I'll need to do when I do the rub rails
-
way to go....ED! the Hannah Boden was her sister ship. the movie, 'The Perfect Storm' is a very good movie, although I found a site that tried to disprove some of the theory's. I have a very cool article about her......I'll add it to the new log thanks for playing........Vanna gives you a big hug! thanks Piet......yea, they look much better.....the boulogne build had them already lasered out.....and they suit that boat better. the holiday boats will sport the smaller ones as well...they don't need the big drains. thanks for the good word
-
thanks Omega........ohhh, there's no denying.......quite the contrary......I'm amazed! this particular hull embodies the subject quite well, after my little nip and tuck well worth the effort, and I do apologize for the confusion. absolutely Bro......she loves the boats......cripes, I can't even touch a plastic kit without her complaining. she my sounding board and color coordinator....she'll have a say in the Holiday Harbor build. I could mention the captain's name........or the color, that might tempt someone to guess....but no one has to......it will be clear soon. hope you and Tammy are doing well under the circumstances, I know it's tough. thanks for the kind word. thanks Bob......yep, that's scratch building. I imagine.....that this reality needs her proper name. to do that, she will need her own log, since I don't have to do any more mods on her. your looking at the basic F/V hull. I'd like to leave her here, but it would be just too confusing. I might not do it this week end......but I'll let everyone know when I do. thank you for your very kind comment it will all become clear soon
-
Mark: I see it too, it's going to be confusing if I leave this one in here.......I think the direction is pretty much in place. I hate to, but I think it's time to put this one in it's own log. then I can call her by her real name, instead of 'Miss Penny'. thanks for the good word! hello Vivian thanks for the good word. glad to have you follow along.
