bill24 Posted March 22, 2014 #1 Posted March 22, 2014 Hi, I am new to Model Ship World and to model boat building. I received this kit as a gift a few years ago. I started the kit but my work got in the way of the build, anyway to cut a very long story short, I have now picked her up again and restarted the build. whilst doing a little research on boat building I came across this site and in particular Harlequins log of the build of the very same boat. so - here I am, I will post photos of my attempt to build this beautiful ship as I go along also, sorry for not understanding the log convention, I have deleted the photo from Harlequins log - sorry Harlequin bill24 trippwj, AON, Landlubber Mike and 1 other 4 Quote
harlequin Posted March 22, 2014 #2 Posted March 22, 2014 (edited) no problem bill24, no need to apologise, it is sometimes very useful to post a pic on someone elses build log. Anyway for a first attempt at a ship build you seem to be progressing very nicely. Edited March 22, 2014 by harlequin Quote
bill24 Posted March 22, 2014 Author #3 Posted March 22, 2014 thanks Harlequin I have now resolved the problem at the stern with planks "clinkering". removed offending planks and made slight alterations to the last two bulkheads and all is now well dougb 1 Quote
bill24 Posted April 14, 2014 Author #4 Posted April 14, 2014 First planking now complete. A little tidying up at the stern required to ensure 2nd planking lies correctly is required. I am going to mark the remaining gun ports next and fix the transom after a little dressing to ensure a good fit AON, Landlubber Mike and hexnut 3 Quote

bill24 Posted June 8, 2015 Author #6 Posted June 8, 2015 Wayne thank you for finding my build log, all I have to now is finish the build will post pictures once I start again Bill mtaylor and trippwj 2 Quote
harlequin Posted February 2, 2019 #7 Posted February 2, 2019 hi bill24.....happy new year by the way. Quote
bill24 Posted February 3, 2019 Author #8 Posted February 3, 2019 Photos of the quarter galley, I think I am nearly there, a little more dressing and I think they will be okay. The gun ports need a little attention yet to finish off and ensure they are square and consistent size, any major problems I can correct either now or later with the final planking.
