HM Cutter Cheerful 1806 by Chuck - FINISHED - 1:48 scale - kit prototype
This will mark the beginning of my project to build the prototype for the Cutter Cheerful. The plans are completed and I am getting ready to release the plans in a few months. I will be building her out of Boxwood or possibly even Pau marfin. I havent decided. This project is a POB build as you can see from the details in the plans posted below. Its not a very cumbersome project with just a cutter rig to deal with. She is carvel planked and not Clinker planked. This is one of the reasons
And one last image of the contemporary planking expansion detail. It shows the square tuck pretty well. For those that might have one on there model although its unlikely. I have never seen a kit that shows one. They are usually left off because they can be rather complex. You can also see the number of planks....twenty which matches my model exactly. Ten down to the bottom of the square tuck and ten more below that. Hence the two planking belts I used.
