EricWilliamMarshall Posted February 22, 2020 Author #33 Posted February 22, 2020 As mentioned before, this kit is based on a 1806 design by Samuel Humphreys called “Yacht for Canton.” His father was also a well-known designer. I stumbled across a model built by the father at the Independence Seaport Museum (in Philadelphia, PA, east coast USA): rkwz, Retired guy, coxswain and 3 others 6 Quote Current adventures: USS Perry of 1843, model kit by Bluejacket - Scale 1:96 Lost at Sea: Dapper Tom - model kit by Model Shipways Previous adventures: an English Pinnace, model kit by Model Shipways, Opium Smuggler Schooner Yacht 1805, model kit by Authentic Holland Models Chesapeake Bay Flattie, model kit by Midwest, USS Constitution, model kit by Revell Albatros 1912, card model kit by HMV

EricWilliamMarshall Posted February 22, 2020 Author #35 Posted February 22, 2020 I also attended at two weekend workshop on boatbuilding at the same institution (as a gift from my beloved admiral)! It made lofting so much easier to understand. It was taught by Dave Dormond, who is boatbuilder on staff at the museum. An easy easy recommendation for the interested.

EricWilliamMarshall Posted February 24, 2020 Author #37 Posted February 24, 2020 I’m still wrestling with the wood shavings. I can make the shavings evenly now, but I can’t mount them properly yet.

EricWilliamMarshall Posted March 1, 2020 Author #39 Posted March 1, 2020 The instructions are brief but mention painting at this point. So I’m waving off on the use of the shavings here and simply following the instructions as best I can. I keep running a foul with the kit. The bits of wood for the bow ‘plates’ or ‘cheeks’ were too small. Drilling the hole through the deck and hull for the rudder was tricky. catopower, thibaultron, coxswain and 5 others 8 Quote Current adventures: USS Perry of 1843, model kit by Bluejacket - Scale 1:96 Lost at Sea: Dapper Tom - model kit by Model Shipways Previous adventures: an English Pinnace, model kit by Model Shipways, Opium Smuggler Schooner Yacht 1805, model kit by Authentic Holland Models Chesapeake Bay Flattie, model kit by Midwest, USS Constitution, model kit by Revell Albatros 1912, card model kit by HMV

EricWilliamMarshall Posted March 8, 2020 Author #42 Posted March 8, 2020 I started work on the deck structures. While I’m sticking to the kit as is, I took a shot at improving on the printed veneer, since I have not used the printed veneer else where. The rings were made by wrapping 32 gauge wire around a thicker brass wire and then cutting with an xacto blade (diagonally across). I made two sizes, linked them (very fiddlely work) and glued all to the deck. etubino, Edwardkenway, Duanelaker and 7 others 10 Quote Current adventures: USS Perry of 1843, model kit by Bluejacket - Scale 1:96 Lost at Sea: Dapper Tom - model kit by Model Shipways Previous adventures: an English Pinnace, model kit by Model Shipways, Opium Smuggler Schooner Yacht 1805, model kit by Authentic Holland Models Chesapeake Bay Flattie, model kit by Midwest, USS Constitution, model kit by Revell Albatros 1912, card model kit by HMV

EricWilliamMarshall Posted March 15, 2020 Author #52 Posted March 15, 2020 Hindsight is always sharper than foresight! I chose to think of the stripe as a band and attempted to make that from brass sheet, forming curves and nibbling away length until correct.

EricWilliamMarshall Posted March 18, 2020 Author #53 Posted March 18, 2020 I soldered the brass loop. My iron was probably too lightweight since it took forever to melt the solder.

EricWilliamMarshall Posted March 18, 2020 Author #56 Posted March 18, 2020 I attached the jib to the ship, breaking the weld in the process. So it goes. I also wrestled with the mast heads; the supplied ‘pre-cut’ one don’t match the profile view in the plans and I wasn’t clever enough to see ahead enough to catch that difference.

VTHokiEE Posted March 18, 2020 #57 Posted March 18, 2020 1 hour ago, EricWilliamMarshall said: iron was probably too lightweight since it took forever to melt the solder. What solder did you use? I assume this is the joint that broke later in the log? I was making some rings to strop my deadeyes and the joint kept breaking until used silver solder and a torch. Some people have had luck without that but it worked well for me.

ccoyle Posted March 18, 2020 #58 Posted March 18, 2020 I think you guessed correctly on the metal band. The bowsprit, though, should not be tapered where it fits into the cap. Perhaps too late to fix at this point, but something to file away for future reference. Cheers!
