Thanks Ben. Very appreciated!

I received chapter 3 laser cut parts in cherry from Syren today and I must say they looked great online and are even more impressive in person.

 

 

Now the quarter galleries fun begins!

[Rustyj]

I've cut the transom out of 3/64" thick stock. This is the third attempt and it seems it was the proverbial charm.

First one the scroll saw went a wee bit out side the lines. The second one succumbed to heavy handed me.

I rough cut it on the scroll saw leaving the lines. I then fine tuned it with knives, files and sanding sticks.

 

 

 

I've clamped the transom in place so far the fit doesn't look to bad to me.

 

 

 

Before I permanently glue it in place and plank the upper counter I will test fit as many pieces to see if there are any potential issues.

[Jorge Diaz O]

very nice Rusty

[Rustyj]

Thanks Jorge and thanks for all the like too!

 

I've glued the transom in place and the filler pieces have been placed on top of the transom to cover the two layers. They are 1/64" thick!  

 

 

I've also placed the quarter galleries window.

 

 

 

The starboard side framing has started. The two pieces have been temporally placed with rubber cement as I check them out before permanently gluing them in.

Looking good so far!!!!  Take your time with those qgalleries.   They are tricky buggers.

Tell me about it!  I am the same stage Rusty and it takes lots of checking build logs, drawing and eyeballing to get them any where near.

Love the colour of that wood😎

Oh don't I know that. I must say I like the changes you've made to the v2.0 qgalleries over the ones we did in v1.0.

 

Thanks  nzreg. I've downloaded all sorts of pictures from various build logs and continuously bounce between them,

the plans and Chucks directions. I'll still mess some up but hopefully will keep it to a minimum.

[Rustyj]

I'm tinkering with scrapping the moldings for the qgalleries and stern. This is the third attempt

and the first worth posting. The molding is 1/8" wide and 1/32" thick.

 

 

The picture isn't real clear but I think this is close.

[JpR62]

She looks really beautiful this molding. Very nice work.

I like your use of rubber cement to check things out, yet another of your practices I’ve stolen, I mean adopted. Beautiful work!

Thanks Glenn. I've been "adopting" everyone's practices here for years.

 

Thanks Jean-Paul and all the likes too.

[Rustyj]

I've placed the molding across the stern under the windows. I've also shaped the tops of the qgallaries and

temporarily tacked them in place as well and glued the molding to the lower portion of the qgallaries.  

 

Excuse all the dust and shop debris in the background.  

 

 

 

[jfhealey]

This is looking fantastic. I'm not far behind you Rusty and following with keen interest.
Fred 

[Rustyj]

Thanks Fred. With summer upon us you will probably go roaring past me in no time.

 

I've framed in the windows for the qgallaries. The window frames as well as the rest of the

chapter three parts that came from Syren are first rate. Not that it comes as any surprise.

Chuck includes extra window frames and lucky for me as I had one casualty.

 

 

 

As I said it's busy the summer time with home projects so progress will definitely suffer.

[Stuntflyer]

Nice!

[Rustyj]

Thanks Mike! Having fun when I can get into the shop!  Also thanks for the likes.

The galleries look really excellent. Great detail and craftsmanship. I would have needed more than one extra.

[Chuck]

 

That gallery is coming along really well.   The cherry blends in with the Pear perfectly.   Well done.

[Rustyj]

Thanks Glenn!

 

Thank you Chuck. Yes they go together very nicely. If I didn't already have the pear I definitely would have done her in cherry.

[Rustyj]

I've added the Syren laser cut fluted columns to the qgalleries and sanded the slope for the roof.

 

 

 

I've also made a test run of the shingles for the roof sticking them in place with rubber cement.

I just wanted to familiarize myself with the placement prior to gluing them in place.

 

 

This size roofing shingles are much easier on the body though I'm having a hard time finding a nail gun in this scale!

 

 

 

 

[Chuck]

Funny....it looks great.  Just remember to sand each row of shingles down even thinner after they are glued and dry.  They should be very thin...before moving to the next row.  In addition, measure the width of the entire area to be shingled to see if its consistent.   Because the angle of the roof changes the area to be covered will change as well.   Try and keep the area to be covered by shingles the same on the aft side and the fore side.  And finally....leave just the smallest of space between each shingle.  This way after you paint them.....if you are going to paint them I mean, you will have defined shape for the shingles.

[Wacom]

I see your “supervisor” is taking a keen interest.😁

[Gregory]

That shot with the supervisor also presents an interesting perspective.  It looks like the model  is at least 1:10 scale..

[Rustyj]

Thanks Chuck. Yes I plan on painting them black and use some weathering powder. I'll

definitely sand them down and try my best to balance them! 

 

Thanks nzreg, She had her walkies and needed a nap! When she's awake she's usually asking for a treat.

 

Also thanks for the likes.

Picking that hull up and moving around makes it seem 1:10 scale too! Thanks

[glbarlow]

Incredible work Rusty, the level of detail is amazing.
