Ah...I see what you are trying to achieve now, I've never seen that done but that's not to say it isn't possible so if you think you can engineer it...why not ๐๐.

Robbob hopefully the cabin roof will be detachable/hinged and the bulkhead at the back of the cabin will be solid apart from the door, so the bulkhead needs extending down to the floor when fitted, this why the cutout is in B2, its at floor level
That's the though at the moment. ▲

Hi Michael.
You might want to consider enlarging the cut out in CF2 to allow you to get your hand easily into the interior of the cockpit. I think the small 'door' cut out will restrict access if you intend to detail this area with a wheel, throttles and instruments etc. And getting your hand inside is really helpful when it comes to glazing the windows. Apart from that it looks like a 'proper job' ๐ Robbob. ▲

Just a thought mate, when you have completed the bulkheads etc, before fitting the skins, seal the wood with something like Zpoxy, this will make it easier when sealing the rest of the hull.

Good building practice. Nice solid baseboard and lots of vertical jigs and clamps holding everything square whilst the glue dries.
I look forward to following your build ▲

This boat looks like it will be very heavy using those plywood bulkheads.

Hi Michael.
Good idea with the jigs, it certainly minimises the possibility of snapping the stringers while they 'set'. Rob. ▲

It'a a 46" model so the wood is the correct size. You have asked about clamps in your post and there are plenty of examples in this blog, you should subscribe to follow progress. The kits by Vintage Models have been around fore a few years and make into a nice model if built carefully as in this model. ▲

Is this a kit, using kit wood? The parts look like they will add too much weight. Am I correct?

Its all material I had lying around in my workshop, I never throw anything away so you can imagine the amount of "stuff" I have in my basement. The Yellow angle brackets are made of old neighbourhood watch signs they are made of 1/4" plasticard

Great work, LOVE the jigs ๐๐
When I built my destroyer (many many moons ago๐ค) I just used loads of panel pins hammered into a chunk of pine board. You way is much more elegant. ๐ ▲

An excellent tutorial, splendid stuff ๐๐๐
Several years ago I forgot the annealing stage, while making davits for my destroyer, and jammed the spring into the tube ๐ก The tube didn't kink but it looked like an earthworm ๐ค ▲
