mobbsie Posted September 14, 2014 Share #211 Posted September 14, 2014 Nicely done John, that looks one fragile piece to work on mate, good job you pinned it. Steady as she goes. Will you have a contrast in wood colours when you get to the deck planking John. I think that would look really neat. Looking forward to your next update mate.

Jim Lad Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share #212 Posted September 14, 2014 Thanks for the comments, fellas. Not sure what I'll be doing with the finish as yet, Mobbsie, but I'll be using Privet for both hull and deck planking.

Mark Pearse Posted September 14, 2014 Share #214 Posted September 14, 2014 Hello Jim All very interesting & enjoyable, I hope to start a build soon & as a novice this is very helpful to see your method. Have you seen Jack Earl's log of the Kathleen Gillet voyage? There are some beautiful drawings of luggers, some up on the slips. thank you, I look forward to following this MP Quote completed 1:12 28' Ranger type yacht, scratch build - COMPLETED 1:12 20' 1930 open sailing boat, half model, scratch built - COMPLETED 1:12 24' Ranger type yacht, scratch build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

popeye the sailor Posted September 15, 2014 Share #217 Posted September 15, 2014 that's a pretty careful fit John looking at it, I see that it's a bit of a deficit, that the stern stem doesn't butt up to it underneath, so it would have something to rest on. I wonder if it's not within the typical construction specs of these vessels.......if it were, you certainly would have done that. the last picture is interesting........at that angle, it already is.....it just falls short of doing so. very nice work...the hull frame looks sweet!

Jim Lad Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share #218 Posted September 15, 2014 Thanks, all! Mobbsie - If you have a decent size Privet then how about turning it into lovely timber for your own next build? Mark - I haven't seen Jack's log. The only place I can find it is in the National Library, but it sounds interesting. Bob - As I mentioned, I suspect that the 'counter rim frame' is a piece of pearling lugger technology Popeye - Yep, still a knee to be fitted there when the counter frame is finally shaped.

Jim Lad Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share #219 Posted September 20, 2014 A bit of extra time at the museum of late has allowed me to get ahead with the Pritt. The counter rim frame is now roughed in and will stay like this until after hull planking, at which time I'll finish fairing it in properly. I've also made a start on the deck beams. Once these are completed I can start to think about planking the hull. John mobbsie, Dan Vadas, Elia and 21 others 24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ Posted September 20, 2014 Share #220 Posted September 20, 2014 With the counter framing faired, it is much easier to see the shape of the stern. Very nice work.

mobbsie Posted September 21, 2014 Share #222 Posted September 21, 2014 The framing is coming along nicely John, will you be planking the entire hull or will you leave a section open.

Elia Posted September 21, 2014 Share #226 Posted September 21, 2014 John, Little Francis looks great.

Cap'n Rat Fink Posted September 25, 2014 Share #235 Posted September 25, 2014 Hi John, Just read thru your FRANCIS PRITT. Very interresting story. I look forward to following your build log. I had time to read thru your log because our bosses were getting tired of us making more money then our 2nd line supervisor's. So they moved us to a new time and tracking system. We are now in the one dog one bone effect. Another wards has slowed us up greatly. So now I can have a little time to modeling "I HOPE". So that is why I have time to catch up on some reading here. HAHAHA! i think a lot of reading to do. Happy modeling my friend MARIO Quote Thank You all... Mario "Each of us is a mixture of some good and some not so good qualities.

Jim Lad Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share #239 Posted October 2, 2014 This will be the last update for a while as we're off on holiday next week. I'm continuing to fit deck beams in the Pritt. I had hoped to get more done yesterday, but as it's school holidays here the museum was pretty crowded with lots of people stopping to see what I was doing and to ask questions. It's a little hard to see what's been happening in the photos as all the wood is the same colour, but I think these two show best what the current state of play is.
