Sharpie by Jim T - Scale 1:16 - SMALL

[Jim T]

Got a little more done the last couple of days. Like most of us, I've got several projects going at once, plus the summer weather is getting here and the yard and garden is calling.

 

Got a couple more stern log parts added. I'm going to wait until I start the stern planking before I add the stern post.

Also got a start on the floor boards.

As mentioned in the last post, I got started on the floor boards.

Once the floor boards were built I used a ships curve to mark the trim line and sanded to shape.

Finished.

Next up is the Center Board Case.

Got started on the Centerboard Case. The various views in the plans didn't always agree on the construction..... nor did the monograph. No big deal.........it is a "Generic Sharpie" after all, so I just built it the way it could of been built back in the day. 🙂 

 

Set the end logs in place. I wanted to construct the C.B Case so it would be removable for now, so these weren't glued in.

 

 

Then edge glued the sides and glued to the fore and aft CB Logs.

 

 

 

 

Added the Upper Case Support Logs.

 

 

And finally the Open Cap Logs. Sorry about the weird color.

 

 

A little more work to do later. Removed for now.
