Hi, where did you buy those nice fittings (oiler etc.) for the stern tube?

Hi kno,
I made all the fittings for the stern tube, I am also making a universal joint from brass & stainless.

Mick,
The Launch engine looks a little lost in such a big hull but you sure will have plenty of space for the boiler.

Congrat's on a superb build, truly a master piece, you won't want to get her dirty, just sit it on the Mantle piece and admire it, but then I know that you won't.

George.

Thanks George, will be building your boiler soon.

Regards Mick

Strange how opinions can differ on this one but some of the installations look as if the boat is too small for the plant and it would be difficult getting to the front of the boat in real life and the Elfins would have a birthday. Superb build Mark.

The engine looks so nice in the hull, very realistic.

knoby · « **Reply #86 on:** July 26, 2011, 06:16:24 pm »

Wow Mick, I thought the engine build was outstanding, but the boat is looking every bit as good !!! Incredible work

I think this one should end up in the masterclass section when its finished

Love that breasthook Mick, it looks perfect, and mirrored grain to boot......!!! I take it you aren't going to hide all this lovely woodwrok behind a forward or aft deck of any sort? One thing i'm wondering now- with your skills are scale mahogany gratings on the menu?

Super

I like it to ..when it is open like a kind of rowboat...look super,,,,,,will you take water from the pond,,,i do that on all my boats have be working with no problem,,,easy to,,,,,,,,what will you use out and inside to water tight it,?

Regards Bernhard

Patternmaker · « **Reply #91 on:** July 29, 2011, 08:07:30 am »

Thanks Greg, there will be a fore & aft deck with narrow side decks, not yet decided on gratings, I am keeping
as close to the original as possible.

Mick

Patternmaker · « **Reply #92 on:** July 29, 2011, 08:22:28 am »

Bernard, as I have said there will be a fore and aft deck with narrow side decks.
I will be making inboard copper water tanks, as I can only run in sea water.
The plank lands have been glued, but as belt and braces the inside of the hull has been coated with fibre glass resin and will be sprayed with 5 coats of 2 pack clear lacquer inside and out, the same procedure I used on Thames steam launch Miranda.

Cockpit bulkhead

derekwarner · « **Reply #94 on:** July 29, 2011, 10:52:22 pm »

Now I know there is no trick photography Mick

...but installing the bulkhead must have been a real twist to the next rib....

& the straighten back out......as clearly the bulkhead must secured to the FWD side of a rib.......

Derek, the bulkhead is made up of 3 sections of 2" X 3/16" sapele, not yet fixed, just goes in past the forward
rib.
