Dfell Posted February 10 Author #2 Posted February 10 Hello - further updates. All Bulkheads needed quite a bit of sanding so everything could be slotted together which was unlike Saucy Jack where everything slotted together with no trouble at all. Restraint had to be used so as not to break bits - patience and a bit more sanding. Bow and Stern Bulkheads etc were bevelled prior to attaching to Keel as instructions. Prior to attaching the ply Deck all joints were brushed with diluted glue. The ply Deck installed. Thanks for looking.

Dfell Posted February 12 Author #3 Posted February 12 (edited) Hello - further steps forward. Extra pieces added to stern (sorry - no photo) and then the Bulkheads etc were sanded to allow a smooth run for the first planking. Then the two parts of the Keel were glued on plus the maple veneer piece at the stern. 4 side pieces glued on / pinned into place. First planking next to do.

Dfell Posted February 27 Author #5 Posted February 27 Hello - further steps forward. First planking completed. Starting to feel / look like a boat now. The next series of photographs show the Rudder Post plus the upper Stern sectioned (painted) having been added along with the other parts that make the outer skin of the Keel, all pegged. It’s good to see another Ranger being built - not many of them on this site. Thank you for looking.

Dfell Posted March 4 Author #6 Posted March 4 Hello - small update. The outer layers of the Bulwarks added along with pieces on the Stern. The lower piece unfortunately when picking it up snapped in two so obviously not watching what I was doing. I found glueing this down not by what the instructions said but first clamping the piece in the centre of the top edge first and then once dry clamp either side in the middle. Again once dry glue and clamp the edges. The second planking next 😕 Thank you for looking and the ‘Likes’ Regards Doug ccoyle, DB789 and JacquesCousteau 3 Completed: HM Brig Supply - JoKita / Caldercraft 1:64 HMS Fly - Caldercraft 1:64 HMS Sherborne - Caldercraft 1:64 HM Brig Flirt - Vanguard 1:64 Saucy Jack - Vanguard 1:64
