Plans for small clinker boats / service boats

Hi All,

Sorry in advance for this terribly newbie question. I have been modelling for quite a few years, from (sophisticated!) dollshouses and 1/12 furniture down to HO scale structures, with a notable love of wood!
I recently saw Olha Batchvarov’s video of a Le Cerf ship clinker boat
and have fallen in love with this build - and clinker boats, and "service boats".
Could anyone here point me towards plans and/or reference material for this type of boats?
Huge thanks in advance!

Pat
Hi Pat

Perhaps you could post a few pictures of some f the work you have done. I’m intrigued by the dollhouse/furniture work you have done. people often post things here which are not strictly boat related. Wouldn’t need to be much, just a few examples. You never know you may get others like me to attempt something new.

Cheers
Rick (And apologies, I also made the assumption that everyone who builds model boats are the male of the species.)
 
Hello Gentlemen!

Sorry for replying so late, life and a bad cold got in the way (plus a good book on boats!!). Here are a few pictures of my stuff, hoping to not overly-"pollute" this thread.

Then a few bits and bobs from my shelves, the smaller structures are 1:87 kits (FSM, Bar Mills and Jason Jensen), except for Catsburg (and this is 90% prototypical, believe it or not!), entirely scratch built.

… and sometimes I build stuff with xps foam, cheap and lovely to work with… this is a copy of a work by an italian modeler (which he complimented… made me very proud!)

Voilà! If you have any questions, fire away!

AndyA: great idea, I was thinking along those lines as well, but in smaller scales (no room left in my appartment!).

Roger: Oooooh I like those boats!

Cheers everyone! And thanks again for sharing all your info!
