modeller_masa Posted April 1, 2023 Share #1 Posted April 1, 2023 The next is the level 2 Norwegian Sailing Pram. Unfortunately, this kit also has some minor laser cutting issues. Don't forget to enlarge plans in the instructions! My ratio was 102.85%. Bow transom. Stern transom. I made my life better again. Bottom planks. It is a bit tricky to make rabbets and gains. I didn't want to order an expensive Veritas plow plane, so I modified my Veritas block plane. Planking is done. Skeg and bilge keels. Finally, I removed the building board. I'll print the enlarged plans tomorrow. 😴 Bryan Woods, Knocklouder, druxey and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druxey Posted April 1, 2023 Share #2 Posted April 1, 2023 (edited) Block/plow plane conversion was a clever trick! Well done. Nice clean work, by the way.

modeller_masa Posted April 9, 2023 Author Share #3 Posted April 9, 2023 (edited) I bought the Veritas miniature plow plane, but it wasn't as useful as the miniature block plane. It was too small to keep the track straight. I confirmed every plan in the instructions is in the wrong scale. It is good to download and print the original instruction PDF files from Model-Expo.

Bryan Woods Posted April 9, 2023 Share #5 Posted April 9, 2023 Modeller. You have done amazing work! I’m just finishing the Pram. But seeing yours makes me want to build it again. Thank you for sharing your skills and talents. I’m excited to learn more on the smack.
