Model Ship Builder

This entry is just a case of more of the same, namely construction of the other three ship’s boats.

As you can see, the plywood floors have not been fitted and the keel is still to fit.

By now I’d more or less decided that that’s how I was going to build the smaller boats, so they were also under construction:

I found that it was easier to use a wide plank as the uppermost plank and cut of the excess later.

This is how they eventually turned out:
