captainbob Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share #70 Posted February 7, 2014 Bedford, I don’t know why I ever doubt the force? It always comes through. The planking is finished, the keel and the stern post are in place and the rail around the stern is on. There’s a lot of cleanup to do but the parts are there. Next its finish the rail and paint the hull and bulkheads, then the deck goes on. Bob avsjerome2003, canoe21, 3qq and 15 others 18 Quote Every build is a learning experience.

Elia Posted February 8, 2014 Share #73 Posted February 8, 2014 Bob, That transom, the main and monkey rails, and the aft ends of the waist at the fashion pieces look sweet. Well done sir. Did you put a little camber into the transom (port to starboard)? It appears so.

captainbob Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share #75 Posted February 8, 2014 John, Popeye, Alfons, and “likes” Thanks for the encouragement. Elia, yes the drawings show a slight camber but doesn’t say how much. It looks like about four inches from side to center in the profile. Lawrence, glad you enjoy the show. I did a web search for the Annie M Parker and saw the picture you posted. That would make a fine model. I might even add it to my list if you don’t mind.

I would be honored if you do add the Annie M. Parker to your list. In the mean time I will continue to search some build plans , for when I complete the HMS Victory, Enjoy.

captainbob Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share #87 Posted February 25, 2014 Hi all, The hull is finished. When they rebuilt Lettie, which is what the drawings were taken from, the fore deck was raised to match the poop deck. That’s why the deck measurement is longer. They also extended the monkey rail all the way to the bow. In trying to restore Lettie to original condition I installed the monkey rail around the stern, only up to the step in the deck. I’m going to do something different this time. I’m going to paint the hull and then install the deck. On the one hand I won’t have to mask the deck; on the other it will be harder to sand the deck. Well that’s how we learn. Bob piperjoe, shipmodel, SailorGreg and 19 others 22 Quote Every build is a learning experience.

jud Posted February 25, 2014 Share #90 Posted February 25, 2014 Might be a good time to try using a scraper on the deck instead of sandpaper, because of the pre-painting.
