Here is my new build. It will be for one of my daughters. It looks like it is going to be a fun build. I will be working on it at the same time as my other project, the Confederacy

I think I am just going to build this one out of the box.

[captgino]

Some parts were warped so I had to put them under clamps

 

Started to put together the hull. It was pretty straight forward so far.

 

 

Prepared the stern and drill the hole for the tiller.

[captgino]

Planking starts... After fairing the Hull, I started with the first plank. 

[captgino]

Last night's work. 

[captgino]

Long overdue update. 

Worked on first planking and completed it. 

Next steps... Wood filler smoothing the Hull and second planking 

[captgino]

Wood filler...😁 

[captgino]

After a long absence and lack of update, I am starting to resume working on this model. 

Starting second planking of the Transom. 

[captgino]

Second planking continues... 

[captgino]

Finished the second planking... 

[captgino]

Started to work on the deck. 

Removing the unnecessary portion of the bulkhead. 

Planking the stern section. 

[captgino]

Long break. My garage is small and I had to reorganize my larger tools and all my scrap wood.  Here are a few pictures of the progress. Imagine the planer and drill press on the workbench. Impossible to lay out plans and various projects. 

Now to the ship update. I worked on the keel and double planked it. 

 

 

[captgino]

Finished the Bow for now.

Planking the deck... 

 

 

[captgino]

Small progress. I fitted and installed the railing. 

[captgino]

Continued progress. Worked on ship wall support and Drilled hole for the mast.

Created fake doors. 

Added the mast support. 

Getting it ready for painting. I need to add a few supports and planks and it is priming time.

Fixed a mistake with the railing. I misread the plan and forgot to add a plank under the railings.

Better now. Moving to adding the bench support. 

[captgino]

Continued to work on the front of the ship. I am trying to install everything needed before priming and painting the SHIP.

I also did a final Sanding of the Hull and removed all dust with mineral spirit. 

 

Working on the rudder. 

[captgino]

Painting time. I did not capture all steps as I was caught up in the process. 

Primed all the model. Painted Hull black and inside blue.

After doing some research, the first part of the ship was red so I corrected that. 

 

After it all dried, I sprayed a coat of clear matte to protect the ship. 

 

[captgino]

Quick update and small progress on the rudder. 

[BobG]

Beautiful boat with a striking color scheme!

[yvesvidal]

Gorgeous colors. Glad to see that you resurrected that beautiful boat.

Working on the rudder continues... A liitte soldering and voilà! 

I still have to touch up the paint which was a little bit damaged in the process. 😕

[captgino]

Rudder attached and a few more details... 

 

[yvesvidal]

So precious: A little gem.

[captgino]

Dead-eyes and chain plates in position. 

I will be starting masts either tomorrow or the day after. 

[captgino]

Completed the mast and gaffs construction. Next steps will be finalizing any sanding touches, staining and painting. 

[captgino]

Painting done. I am waiting for the paint to cure before putting one or two coats of vernis. 

[BobG]

She's coming along nicely...lovely boat!

[captgino]

Time to start the rigging. 

Attached the mast. 

Worked on the shrouds by serving them, long and tedious process 🤪 then fasten the deadeyes. 

 

Finalized attaching on side. 

 

[ccoyle]

Looking very handsome!

 

[BobG]

She's a beauty, Jean-Philippe!
