The transom/knee/bottom should be fine once planked over, but it does confirm the worry I had earlier. But those frames! I am so glad that the Model Shipways dory had frames secured to a building board. I do not envy you having to sand and bevel with them standing up like that.

palmerit Posted March 23 Author #32 Posted March 23 The kit has you add temporary supports to stiffen the frame on the build board while planking. Adding one of the garboard planks (after beveling the upper end). Will let the glue dry before adding the other garboard. robert952 1 Current Builds: Sherbourne 1763 (Vanguard Models), Ranger 1864 (Vanguard Models), Grand Banks Dory (Midwest Products) In the Queue: Oseberg (Ships of Pavel Nikiten), Zulu 1900 (Vanguard Models), Endurance (Occre), Syren US Brig 1803 (Model Shipways), Duchess of Kingston (Vanguard Models) Completed Builds: Lowell Grand Banks Dory (Model Shipways), 18th-Century Merchantman Half-Hull Planking Kit (NRG), Norwegian Pram (Model Shipways), Endurance (Lego), Muscongus Bay Lobster Smack (Model Shipways)
palmerit Posted March 29 Author #33 Posted March 29 Slow progress on the Dory - just haven’t had time to work on any models. Added a couple more planks. The Midwest Dory is twice the size of the Model Shipways Dory (about the same length as my Sherbourne).

Desertanimal Posted March 29 #34 Posted March 29 Didn’t realize it was so much larger. I’ve seen other build logs and it never clicked that they can get more detail on them. Chris palmerit and robert952 2
Kenchington Posted March 29 #35 Posted March 29 7 hours ago, palmerit said: The Midwest Dory is twice the size of the Model Shipways Dory They are different boats, modelled at different scales. The Model Shipways one is a 15ft dory (dory sizes being measured as length of bottom, not overall) at 1:24. A 15ft dory is a two-man boat and towards the large end of banks dory sizes. In the 19th Century, they were used in halibutting, while the cod fisheries used smaller dories. I'm not sure but that may have changed before the end of the Canadian dory-schooner fishery in 1963. The Midwest dory is modelled at 1:12 and looks to have a 13" bottom. If so, it represents a 13ft prototype, suited to the banks cod fishery or else fishing along the shore, but still a two-man boat. It also looks to have much stronger sheer than the Model Shipways one, so a different design within the same overall family. But, either way, yours is coming along nicely, Palmerit!

palmerit Posted Sunday at 06:06 PM Author #44 Posted Sunday at 06:06 PM I started airbrushing the Dory. I found a couple sources for some colors and after playing around with some colors in my stash I decided on Vallejo Model Air 71.135 Chrome Yellow for the inside and most of the outside, Game Air 76.123 Angel Green for the gunwale, and I’m doing the garboard and bottom in Model Air 71.271 German Red Brown. I don’t know if it’s a combination of airbrushing and the model being basswood but it’s been hard to paint over pencil marks I had made. With my Sherbourne (offwhite Vallejo Air on pear wood) I didn’t have trouble covering the pencil marks I made). I ended up painting with a brush to get a thicker covering over the pencil marks and I will do more airbrush coats. https://goodmorninggloucester.com/2009/03/22/dory-buff-dory-paint/ robert952, JacquesCousteau and Scott Crouse 3 Current Builds: Sherbourne 1763 (Vanguard Models), Ranger 1864 (Vanguard Models), Grand Banks Dory (Midwest Products) In the Queue: Oseberg (Ships of Pavel Nikiten), Zulu 1900 (Vanguard Models), Endurance (Occre), Syren US Brig 1803 (Model Shipways), Duchess of Kingston (Vanguard Models) Completed Builds: Lowell Grand Banks Dory (Model Shipways), 18th-Century Merchantman Half-Hull Planking Kit (NRG), Norwegian Pram (Model Shipways), Endurance (Lego), Muscongus Bay Lobster Smack (Model Shipways)
Kenchington Posted Sunday at 10:34 PM #45 Posted Sunday at 10:34 PM Dories and "dory buff" paint are still very much a living tradition in Nova Scotia. Human memories fade, of course (though not as quickly as the pigments in 1920s marine paints 😀), but I've never heard of anyone doubting that all Lunenburg schooner's dories were buff with green trim. That's just the way to was and still is. Trevor robert952 1 In progress: Norwegian sailing pram, by Model Shipways Completed: 1880 Gloucester halibut dory, based on Model Shipways Lowell banks dory
palmerit Posted yesterday at 12:41 AM Author #46 Posted yesterday at 12:41 AM (edited) I know that yellow is not quite Dory Buff color, it was the closest I had in my paint staff. The green was in the ballpark. I think I saw some photos of some Dorys with some reddish undercoat on the garboard and bottom and just went with it.

Kenchington Posted yesterday at 01:36 AM #47 Posted yesterday at 01:36 AM Whatever floats your boat! There's plenty of full-size dories on this coast that are not in the traditional colour scheme. robert952 1 In progress: Norwegian sailing pram, by Model Shipways Completed: 1880 Gloucester halibut dory, based on Model Shipways Lowell banks dory
