HMS Jalouse - Caldercraft by Ted

[Ted Robinson]

It's obvious I'm going to have to paint the launches.

 

[Ted Robinson]

Finished. Raggedy but sansdable.
I saw on models with the boats painted white with black gunnels. Another black bottom. Considered doing the hull black with and ochre stripe and black gunnel

 

[Ted Robinson]

Snapped out the bulkheads. Thank you @Kurt Konrath. Oops didn't get the front of the step.scored.

 

[Ted Robinson]

Made some progress on the big launch.

 

[Ted Robinson]

I'm ready for paint. A little ratty but going to be mounted under the other launch.
Still undecided on the paint scheme.

 

[Ted Robinson]

Painted interior of the boat Ochre. Will paint the hull either white with a black band at top or black bottom with Ochre at top separated by two black bands

 

[Ted Robinson]

This is it except for final touch-up just before mounting

I like it Ted.

 

[Ted Robinson]

I like it Ted.

Thankyou

I'm obviously experiencing some sort of mental decline. Glued up the bulkheads and false deck on the small boat. Had them really secure with thorough glueing. Then discover that they weren't in the proper.order. I numbered.the parts while still attached to the board. Put on in order indicated.it was all fouled up.
Have disassembled and now ready for install again.

Perseverance is a virtue Ted, and you are persevering, be happy The small boat is identified as a cutter on your plans which would be lapstrake planked. Are you going to give it a try? I find it is actually easier than carvel built boats like launches. In general, the thread on building a ship's boat here at SoS may be helpful.

Not a chance I'm trying my first lapstrake project in something this small.
Plugging away at the cutter. I ran out of correct sized materials on the second half of the starboard bottom. I made some strips out of leftovers from the Bluenose.
These tight bends are more difficult in the pear wood

 

[Ted Robinson]

I found small set of diamond encrusted files in Amazon with curved and angled files.They make quick work on fulung the bulkhead remnants.

 

[Ted Robinson]

I ditched the cutter. It wasn't acceptable.

We've all had days like that. Don't despair, with all you've learned from these, your next one will be great!

Thank you. I have good grasp on my limitations. Why hang a piece of garbage on my beautiful model. I should have done a better estimate on the strake materials I was using. Once I switched to the materials I had to cut down to width it all went wonky.

 

[Ted Robinson]

Thank you @GrantTyler

 

[Ted Robinson]

I bought a sheet of 9.2mm brass stock and cut it down by scribing with my xacto blade and then cutting it with scissors. I tried just using the scissors without scribing but couldn't hold it straight. Would it be better to cut completely through with the xacto knife?

 

[Ted Robinson]

Made the ships wheel. This is the last of the deck furniture. Onto coppering tomorrow
