Der Boss Posted February 21 #1 Posted February 21 Hello OK, here we go. The Britannia is 43 inches long and 9.25 inches wide. The weight will be around 18 pounds. Here are a few pictures of the kid. Here is a link I hope I did everything right. https://www.mountfleetmodels.co.uk/product/pilot-boat-britannia/ ccoyle, AJohnson, eatcrow2 and 5 others 8
yvesvidal Posted February 21 #2 Posted February 21 Lovely !!! That should be a very unusual and interesting model. Yves Der Boss, Paul Le Wol, king derelict and 1 other 3 1
Der Boss Posted February 21 Author #3 Posted February 21 First I drilled and cut open the scuppers and hawsers. This is where the first white cast iron parts come into use. Of course, they also had to be worked nicely first. Paul Le Wol, Massimodels, vossiewulf and 4 others 7
Der Boss Posted February 23 Author #4 Posted February 23 So we continue with the rudder bracket or rudder stand. For this I had to drill more holes in the hull and I didn't feel comfortable doing it but what must be done must be done. Then I adjusted the rudder bracket. I will glue it in like this later, the gaps will no longer be visible afterwards. king derelict, yvesvidal, AJohnson and 1 other 4
Mirabell61 Posted February 23 #5 Posted February 23 Hy Boss, that kit is a very nice choise and you did a good job on the hull so far.

Der Boss Posted February 23 Author #6 Posted February 23 (edited) Thanks Nils. I'm glad you're looking in. The servo and the anti-roll keels are also attached. And the motor is in place too. Edited February 23 by Der Boss Mirabell61, king derelict, schooner and 1 other 4
Der Boss Posted February 24 Author #7 Posted February 24 The Deck consists of 2 wooden panels. This is cut to size and fits. It is not glued in yet, that will come when the hull is painted. Mirabell61, king derelict, eatcrow2 and 5 others 8
Der Boss Posted February 25 Author #8 Posted February 25 Then came the second deck layer. I will be completely re-planking the deck. Mirabell61, yvesvidal, king derelict and 4 others 7
Der Boss Posted February 25 Author #9 Posted February 25 (edited) Hallo Damit man das Originaldeck noch sehen kann, habe ich das Deck in Brotpapier eingewickelt. Die Planken werde ich direkt 1:1 auf das Brotpapier kleben. Die Verstemmung werde ich vorher mit Bleistift anzeichnen. Alle Posts jetzt zeigen den tatsächlichen Baufortschritt.

Here is the translation for this one. It must have slipped through the net Hello, So that you can still see the original deck, I wrapped the deck in bread paper. I will glue the planks directly onto the bread paper 1:1. I will mark the caulking beforehand with a pencil. All posts now show the actual construction progress.
