Beautiful work on the stern section, Zbigniew.  You call it a "Learner".  I think it's a master's model.

Thank you very much gentlemen, but I do not deserve such praise, I'm just trying to do as far as possible what is in the plans drawn.

That is very impressive indeed for a 'learner' model! I look forward to seeing your next project, Zbigniew.

Zbigniew Very fine work on your stern section, I look forward to the continued updates on this interesting model. I have a question regarding the way that you are fixing the planks to the hull. Your model shows metal nails (treenails) and on many other ships of this period there seem to be wooden ones. Was this something that changed with different builders on full sized ships of the period ? Is this a modelers choice. I wonder because the metal would be more difficult to smooth than wooden ones.

Current builds  Bristol Pilot Cutter 1:8;      Skipjack 19 foot Launch 1:8;       Herreshoff Buzzards Bay 14 1:8

Other projects  Pilot Cutter 1:500 ;   Maria, 1:2  Now just a memory    

Future model Gill Smith Catboat Pauline 1:8

Finished projects  A Bassett Lowke steamship Albertic 1:100  

 

Anything you can imagine is possible, when you put your mind to it.

Thanks all.

 

Michael, the board of the bottom plating were fixed on the two nails and two pins, the manner of imitation by me is the mounts modeling approach. I use brass wire, the treatment does not cause any trouble.
