Norwegian Sailing Pram by Reece - Model Shipways - 1:12

Reece · February 6, 2022

Hello everyone, I'm back with my second build - the Model Shipways Norwegian Sailing Pram. This is the second model in the Model Shipways Shipwright series designed by David Antscherl. I have to say I've been looking forward to this build after completing the Dory as it gives me the opportunity to work with some metal parts, a mast, rigging, and a sail. There are quite a few build logs on here for this model so I'll just get right to it.

I've made a decent start so far and have made it through step 5 where the transoms are mated with the building board.

Using a Lego block to align the bow transom knee.

The stern transom seated in the transom holder. Its slightly wonky but instructions say only to glue in the bow transom holder. I imagine this is to make it easier to remove later on. I'll have to pay extra attention here we the planking starts going on to make sure everything is aligned.

Anyway, that's all I've done so far. Its been pretty easy and I've enjoyed it.

Made some progress on the hull this week. Was able to get everything up through the sheer planks attached to the transoms. Just need to get the skeg and the bilge keels attached and I should be done with the bottom of the boat.
