paulsutcliffe Posted January 13, 2018 Author #161 Posted January 13, 2018 I've had a couple of weeks off from Sirius and the cutter over Christmas under orders from her who must be obeyed, she suggested I made something for her mother as she is more into the boats that I'm making than the wife, in fact she has my old cutty Sark on her mantelpiece, I found on eBay a constructo kit for a Thames steam barge, the model had already been started and all the frames etc were missing but for £10 I thought what the hell As we live in Cookham which some of you may know (Druxey does) we are on the side of the Thames so I thought this wold be perfect for her, it arrived the day before Xmas eve, I cut my own bulkheads from the sheets still in the box and laid the first plank at 12.15 on Xmas eve This is the finished job today and I'm giving it to her tomorrow as a belated Xmas present.

paulsutcliffe Posted January 20, 2018 Author #170 Posted January 20, 2018 With much trepidation I got the washstrake on the 24ft cutter, actually went a lot easier than I thought, much cleaning up needed but it certainly makes the boat look more finished archjofo, cog, Keith Black and 5 others 8 Quote The clerk of the cheque's yacht of sheerness Current build HMS Sirius (1797) 1:48 scratch POF from NMM plans HMS Winchelsea by chuck 1:48 Cutter cheerful by chuck 1:48 Previous builds- Elidir - Thames steam barge Cutty Sark-Billings boats Wasa - billings boats Among others 😁

paulsutcliffe Posted January 24, 2018 Author #172 Posted January 24, 2018 Planking finished and frames thinned quite a bit I could/should/can thin them down some more but its rather frightening the planks are so thin, if you hold it up to the light you can see right through, I probably should have done the frames before sending the outside cog, Keith Black, robdurant and 1 other 4 Quote The clerk of the cheque's yacht of sheerness Current build HMS Sirius (1797) 1:48 scratch POF from NMM plans HMS Winchelsea by chuck 1:48 Cutter cheerful by chuck 1:48 Previous builds- Elidir - Thames steam barge Cutty Sark-Billings boats Wasa - billings boats Among others 😁

paulsutcliffe Posted January 25, 2018 Author #174 Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) I have realised that I am following the boat plans from the aots Diana the wrong way round, the first one I did in the background above will now become a rigged display model, the 24ft launch should be a two masted affair and clinker built planking, so I will have to redo that one and make the 26ft cutter with anchor winch at the back All from mahogany so they match the syrius which will look better in the long run anyway I really envy how all you people show such beautiful clean pictures, that last picture of mine looks awful with all the cr** in the background Regards Paul Edited January 25, 2018 by paulsutcliffe robdurant, Keith Black, mtaylor and 1 other 4 Quote The clerk of the cheque's yacht of sheerness Current build HMS Sirius (1797) 1:48 scratch POF from NMM plans HMS Winchelsea by chuck 1:48 Cutter cheerful by chuck 1:48 Previous builds- Elidir - Thames steam barge Cutty Sark-Billings boats Wasa - billings boats Among others 😁
