ECK Posted May 16 Share #1 Posted May 16 Having just finished HMS Flirt, I saw that Chris had 2 new models, HM cutter Cherbourne and gun brig Adder. I bought both and flipped a coin to see which to build first. Cherbourne won. So here is the unwrapping Constructing the frame Feathering the edges. Convenient lines to help beginners know how far to go Placing the bulkheads Attaching stern Bulwarks soaked then clamped overnight Glued in place, can never have enough clamps.

ECK Posted May 18 Author Share #2 Posted May 18 Planking not taking long as only about 12 rows. I taper the bow sections and also chamfer the edges so sit better with the previous row. To pin the planks I drill a pilot hole at the marked ribs as I find the plank often splits if I just push them in. I added a stealer (arrow) in the bow as the planks were not sitting smoothly. Hard to actually spot it especially once I sand it. Pitan, chris watton, RossR and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECK Posted Monday at 06:54 PM Author Share #11 Posted Monday at 06:54 PM Inner bulwarks in. I spray painted them prior inserting them. For the spirketting, I glued the stern one first using pins to keep the eyeholes in line. The forward piece is set so that o keep the eyeholes in line you just need to trim the bow end by 2-3 mm.
