Anyone have a template for the 32" fibreglass model. My screeh has just shattered? Thanks

What a great story - really good luck getting finished 5 years later..........did you forgive the dog?

Footski and DBS88 thanks very much 


I've got a little more done and this time it's the ships 2 beds.  One of for the Master of the ship and the other for the Master Gunner who was on board when Le Rochefort was loaded with her cargo of gunpowder.


I made the cupboard door and lower part of the bed recess in the same way that I made the cabin doors





The I made the cupboard walls and the base of the beds.  Finally I made the hinges and door handles to finish the parts off.











Fitting the parts was the hardest part trying to get a good a fit up against the hull as possible











So I just need to make the hatch surround, fit the beams and make the carlings and the quarterdeck will be finished 


Cheers Mark

It's a Quackerbox race boat.

Thank you Chris, I'll have a look at those. Nice boat by the way!

 Ok so why (2) ?


I got to 95% of my original build (https://www.modelboatmayhem.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,52373.0.html ) when my ex clumsy 5 stone dog fell off the bed and onto the boat (my fault it was on the floor). I spent 5 years trying to contact Calderfcaft (Jotika) trying to order the parts needed, but with every email going un-answered I bided my time till the right model/kit cam up on fleabay for the cost of what the parts would probably cost!!. In the end I got a complete kit (missing plans and destructions, no problem, got these).


So looks like I've got the chance to start again (will not host the pics on PB site).
