glbarlow got a reaction from coxswain in Chris Watton and Vanguard Models news and updates
I’d like to hope for something that would compliment the boxwood design for Flirt. Walnut would be a bit of a downer, unless they were fully painted. In for a penny in for a pound I believe the expression goes.

Is there such a thing as boxwood dowels for mast and yards.... 😄

High end fire starter material for those cold UK nights...

I look forward to seeing how that goes. I’m going for the Master Shipwright version of Flirt. If it’s all boxwood I’d rather try almost anything other than walnut.

It has, its intended to replace planking the deck, but nothing prevents you from planking over it - both have been done and shown in other build logs.

I don't think you'll be disappointed.
As soon as Fifie is finished, I'll open a build log for Flirt.

I might as well just start a monthly direct deposit to Chris 😀

I've done a whole series of photos for the forthcoming HMS Flirt.
There is some repetition on these sheets as parts such as lower mast trees are shown on ply, although the kit will have them in wood instead. You'll notice a few quirks here with some parts added and removed from sheets. There will be two editions of this kit, with a standard kit supplied with pear, and also a Master Shipwright release with boxwood. The latter also has 3mm birch ply bulkheads and false keel, plus a number of other differences. The standard release and MS release both now have laser engraved lower decks, with the standard in 2mm Ceiba, and the MS in birch ply.
I'm sure Chris will answer any questions. I'm off to finish the Fifie so I can make a start on Flirt!

glbarlow got a reaction from BobG in Medway Longboat 1742 by Ryland Craze - FINISHED - Syren Ship Model Company - 1:24 Scale
I’m going to remember this when I start painting Cheerful. I’ve always painted multiple coats, but like 3-4. I’d love to see your boat live. I bet you can feel the depth. Really nice job.
I can paint a straight line...wait without tape...😱😳

Good ole Bob Hunt. Cantankerous dude, but the AVS is where I learned to model. That really was a long time ago.

Let's not use this review as a vehicle for who is right and who is wrong.
Chris clearly stated that the kit was developed using James Pottinger's drawings, and other drawing material too. James is very au fait with these vessels. You are of course allowed to disagree with him, but this topic isn't the place to do it.

glbarlow got a reaction from John Allen in 1:32 Fifie – The Scottish Motor Fishing Vessel by Amati
Is that really something to quibble about? I’m sure for a heavily used boat like this there were lots of variations. Let’s just enjoy looking at something different.
My question though is where do the cannon go?🤣😂
