Sheer Vessel of 1812, scratch built

[DarrenR]

Hi all,

Thought I'd post a few pics of models I've built that I still have. This was my first scratch build, a Sheer Vessel of 1815 based on plans from the old Model Shipwright journal. From memory it's 1/48. Built on ply bulkheads, I recall I used Tasmanian Oak for the mast and sheer legs, Queensland Ash I think for the deck. Chainplates, eyebolts and blocks were commercial items.

A fun build of something a bit different.

A nice model of the unsung heroes which built the great fleets. Great job.

Great build. You need to submit to our completed photos gallery.

PM @Donnie to send him photos so he can add them.

I have already added this yesterday. @DarrenR , your ship has been added to the Gallery Showcase on page #9

Very nice model. I'm starting to become partial to working ships of the 18th and early 19th centuries.

Hola a todos,

Pensé en publicar algunas fotos de los modelos que he construido y que todavía tengo. Esta fue mi primera construcción desde cero, un Sheer Vessel de 1815 basado en planos del antiguo diario Model Shipwright. De memoria es 1/48. Construido sobre mamparos de capas, recuerdo que usé Tasmanian Oak para el mástil y las patas verticales, Queensland Ash creo que para la cubierta. Las placas de cadena, los cáncamos y los bloques eran artículos comerciales.

Una construcción divertida de algo un poco diferente.

Happy birthday!

As I mentioned in another post, I love these small working boats. Does anyone know if the plans are available somewhere? I'd love to do this at 1:32 scale!
