Hayling Hoy by Roger J

[albertmary]

I can't be of any help here as I bashed the wing transom and the beam connecting the couter timbers after Antscherl's monograph. Did you use the cartboard template provided with the kit when you put together the tafferel?
Cheers, Alberto

 

[Roger J]

Hi Alberto
Thank you for the reply i missed the template and everything is badly of centre and nothing lines up so i am pulling it all off and starting again
Your Hoy looks amazing well beyond my ability

 

[albertmary]

That's the best solution, I guess.

 

[Roger J]

The rebuilt stern looks a lot better and the decking now follows the ribs a lot better
Looking further ahead at the masts the instructions mention taking dimensions from the plans unfortunately there are no plans in the kit and i cannot find them online so i will have to contact model ship dockyard if i get that far

 

[Uwek]

You are making very good and quality progress.
In the meantime it is more or less a building log, and if you agree, I would like to move this topic to the kit building logs - I would also adjust the title and delete "help needed"

 

[Roger J]

I suppose it is more or less a building log now so that will be fine

 

[Roger J]

I have fitted the stern planking and fitted a few deck fittings hatches and odds and ends i decided to put the windlass together it is a bit rough but a couple of coats of paint and it look OK if you don't get to close

 

[Roger J]

I have a bit of a problem with the planking not cut or glued anything but trying to get some feel for how it should go i have this issue following the bow and stern after a fashion the centre part is about 3mm higher than the ribs?
Any suggestions of the best way to go would be gratefully received

Good afternoon Roger. This is impressive work. Neat tidy and great joinery. Cheers Grant

 

[Uwek]

When the frames / ribs are shorter - fine, you do not ahve to cut them - and you have still enough "meat" to fix the planking against the frames
Important is, that the planking height over the deck is correct

 

[Roger J]

Tried fitting the internal planking and made a mess of it so assembled the capstan while deciding to fit the exterior planking and use that as a guide for the internal

 

[Roger J]

Finished the planking down to the wales it seem right but is well above the ribs on the inside of the ship i haven't decided if i am going to build up the inside cut down the outer planking or split the difference

 

[Roger J]

Fitted the wales i painted them before fitting and they are a bit patchy but another coat of paint later on should improve them
With hindsight i should have cut the planks to length before fitting

Good afternoon Roger. Lovely work. Very defined and neat planking. Wonderful. Cheers Grant

I have started fitting the transom the rendered drawings and instructions are no help whatsoever and looking at other logs on the site every one is different.
So i decided to go for the easy way out and just painted the frames black and fitted them flush. I am not using the glass it looked odd and clumsy stuck between the ribs

 

[Roger J]

I couldn't make much sense of the stern so it looks a bit clumsy (Better from a distance) and started fitting the rails

 

[Roger J]

Fitted the front rails the laser cut parts were a bit off i tried soaking and bending them with limited success

 

[xander898]

I've been following your build closely, and I find your work really good. It almost makes me want to buy the same kit

 

[Roger J]

After a break building the occre rocket back on board fitted the rest of the rails and the capstan

 

[Roger J]

I fitted the windlass after a lot of trouble had to cut away the deck, beams and windlass support i suspect this is down to my earlier work not being as accurate as it should have been
Assembling the rudder everything fits nice - it calls for a square hole for the tiller but i do not have to cut it with so i will probably drill a blind hole and sand the tiller to suit
