Jim Lad Posted January 27, 2015 Author #332 Posted January 27, 2015 Thanks, Keith. David - not sure yet. I usually just give my models a coat of Polyurethane, but it might look a bit bland. Another option is to copper the bottom - the Thursday Island luggers were coppered - but I'm not sure yet. John augie 1
mikegerber Posted January 27, 2015 #333 Posted January 27, 2015 Hello John I have just unearthed your log ... and what a finding - great! I like the choice of your subject of build, because I like rather more the civilian applications than the martial - although I have of course enthusiasm, for the constructional technical aspects and the fat lines of the old warriors. I look forward to following the progress of your build. Regards Mike current scratch build 1:15 Colin Archer - RS14 "Stavanger"
Jim Lad Posted February 6, 2015 Author #335 Posted February 6, 2015 Well, all the hull planks are finally on! While I enjoy planking, I'm really glad that this part of the build is completed and I can get on with other stuff - like drilling lots of holes and then filling them in again - otherwise known as treenailing! Here are some photos of what she looks like at the moment. John One Plank to go! No Planks to go!! And a close up of the partly cleaned up stern just to see what it might look like later. ccoyle, hexnut, augie and 27 others 30

Jim Lad Posted February 6, 2015 Author #344 Posted February 6, 2015 Thanks again one and all! Bamboo for the treenails and, no, I'm never tempted to leave one or two planks out - 'though I am tempted to one day build a model with far more detailed framing and one side left in frame and the other planked. It was good to meet Bedford on Wednesday at the museum - a man with a very new understanding of what the sea can do! John augie and mtaylor 2

Jim Lad Posted February 25, 2015 Author #348 Posted February 25, 2015 I've had quite a bit of extra time at the museum of late, filling in for one of the model makers who has a few health issues. As a result I've managed to get quite a bit of work done on the 'Pritt'. The treenailing of the hull is now complete and the low kick rail has been fitted and treenailed. The photos show the hull treenailed and rough sanded. The next steps will be to finish sanding the hull; thin down the kick rail stiffeners to a more scale like dimension and then fit the rubbing strake. After that I'll give the hull a coat of finish to protect it and then get on with the capping rail and the deck. In the fourth photo below you'll see that the stern is quite open above the deck. This was quite usual for the T.I. pearlers - the capping rail is supported on three knees across the stern. This configuration allowed for very quick and easy cleaning of the deck after sorting and cleaning pearl shell by simply hosing and sweeping all the rubbish over the stern.

Elia Posted February 25, 2015 #351 Posted February 25, 2015 John, Beautiful work. That hull planking and tree nailing is very sharp.

Jim Lad Posted February 25, 2015 Author #356 Posted February 25, 2015 Thank you all for your kind comments. I had considered just a very light wash of colour on the hull, but in the end have decided to clear finish it so that the planking remains fully visible. Good old Minwax Wipe On Poly will be the finish of choice. John Omega1234, augie, mtaylor and 2 others 5
