Tim Murphy Posted July 29, 2021 Share #212 Posted July 29, 2021 Ryland, After seeing your build and Tom's Sail instructions I have started the boat again. The first one was a complete mess! How did you glue the the planks to the frame? The planking looks so good! Tim Murphy Ryland Craze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryland Craze Posted July 29, 2021 Author Share #213 Posted July 29, 2021 Thanks everyone for your comments and for the likes. I appreciate all the support that everyone has given me on this build. Tim, thanks for checking out my build log. I am glad you have restarted your Medway build. This is a nicely designed kit and if you follow the instructions, you will build a model that you will be proud of. I used medium CA for the planking and Titebond for all of the other wood to wood contact.

Ryland Craze Posted August 19, 2021 Author Share #218 Posted August 19, 2021 Thanks everyone for the comments and the "Likes". I had my Medway Longboat on display at Modelcon on August 7th, which was a ship model show held on the Battleship New Jersey and hosted by the Philadelphia Ship Model Society. I was displaying it on the fantail of the ship. Here is a photo of the display: I had a scare when I packed up the model to bring it home. I had placed the model on its build board, which was secured to the bottom of a cardboard box, and placed the box on a table. A gust of wind came through and blew the box with my model in it off of the table. My heart sank as the box landed on its side and the model was thrown partially out of the box. Luckily, the only damage to the model was some paint was rubbed off of the bowsprit when it slid inside of the box. All of the glue joints held. I was real lucky that the model did not suffer more damage. I finally got back to work on it this week. I have been working on the oars as I want to display six of them with the model. I shortened the length of the oars to nine inches, which would be 18 scale feet. The next step is to paint them with multiple coats of highly thinned paint. It is hard to believe the model is close to being finished. I have enjoyed every minute of building this model.

Been a very buy summer with no shop time but the Medway sits proudly on my work bench. I started on the floor boards today. Shorter days mean more shop time.

Ryland Craze Posted August 26, 2021 Author Share #221 Posted August 26, 2021 Earlier this week I painted the oars, attached the flag and hung some rope coils on the flag halliard. My Medway Longboat is now finished. This has been a very enjoyable build. I want to thank many people for their help and encouragement along the way. A special thank you goes out to Chuck who offered advice and encouragement throughout my build. I have seen Chuck's model in person at three ship model shows and I have taken many photos of his model to use as a reference for my build. I also appreciate that Chuck designed a kit that a novice builder like me can build and the end result is a model that looks way better than what my skills could produce. I also appreciate all of the builders of this kit that posted their build logs on MSW. If your build logs were a book, I would have worn out the pages as I referred to your build logs for many of the tasks that I completed in my build. I also want to thank all of those members who looked in on my build log and made comments or hit the like button. Your reactions to my posts were a motivating force to move on to the next step of construction.
