Scott Crouse Posted October 10 Share #1 Posted October 10 Yet another Pram build My adventure into wood ship building continues. After completing the Dory (sorry I did not find you all in time to make a build log); It was time to start the Pram (this time I will do a log haha. Early stages and just getting started. I do stream on twitch when I build so if anyone cares to check it out, you can find me over at BartBandy - Twitch SiriusVoyager, JacquesCousteau, flyenrw and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MBerg Posted October 15 Share #4 Posted October 15 Jumping in on this log so I can see another person finish this build before I do . The dory looks great. I have a second one and may go back to make a diorama, where did you get the figure?

Scott Crouse Posted October 19 Author Share #5 Posted October 19 A few minutes in between all the sunshine to get some work done on the Pram. Discovering I need to be a bit less religious about reading and following the instructions and instead use my own eyeballs to see where things are fitting and where they are not. As you can see on the ends where the overlaying of the planks was not the greatest. Lesson learned. But having an excellent time and those who watch on stream, all plastic builders, are enjoying seeing work done with wood.

Scott Crouse Posted October 20 Author Share #6 Posted October 20 Some more work this morning. We are going to need more clamps! My dagger board thingy was too small for the hole as well as others have been experiencing so had to fill it in a bit.

Scott Crouse Posted October 25 Author Share #7 Posted October 25 I big thank you to those who have build logs for the Pram, the instructions have definitely had me scratching my head a few times and several of the steps have no photos or any real explanation. Probably not an issue for most people but for this noob, it has me scratching my head - lol. Looking a bit rough but cleanup to come after the glue is all set.

Scott Crouse Posted October 26 Author Share #8 Posted October 26 Small update from yesterday, trimmed the bow and stern, got the rowing thingies in place and the rub rail. Seems I don't own a 3/8" file for the transom so will have to make a trip to the hardware store (twist my rubber arm).

Dan Poirier Posted October 26 Share #9 Posted October 26 Double-check the 3/8" size, it seemed awfully big to me. I thought it might be a typo for 3/16". (Ultimately, I just free-handed with a smaller file rather than buy a new one just for this.)

druxey Posted October 26 Share #12 Posted October 26 Actually, one has better control using a larger tool. You will file across the transom rather than along it. (For model work I usually use a ½" bevel edge chisel - or larger - a lot of the time. One can judge angles more easily than with a narrow tool.)

Scott Crouse Posted October 27 Author Share #13 Posted October 27 A productive weekend, got the rub rails cleaned up, the rudder ready and shaped, dagger board built and hopefully thin enough that when the paint goes on it still fits and the rear transom carved out. Time to get to the store for some paint, getting close. GGibson, JacquesCousteau, Bryan Woods and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EspenT Posted October 29 Share #14 Posted October 29 A ship modeller on Twitch! Nice. I will try to catch you next time you go live. I am ordering the 3 starter kits from Model Expo.
