I've been struggling with motivation lately so I thought I'd try something different.........
I've long been inspired by the work Bob Wilson aka ShipbuilderMN

Plus Ray S & now Murdo entering the arena
I have long had it in my mind to build a series of British Coastal Trading/Fishing craft. Being realistic I'm not going to live long enough to build in what I would normally call a reasonable scale. At this stage I've also got it in my head that I want to build showing the full hull to demonstrate the many varied hull shapes.
So the chosen starting point is the 'Clyde Puffer' a more basic shape I can't imagine.... but good to learn the ropes in this scale.
I photocopied the plan and stuck it on plastic card 'bread & butter' style
Brass sheet was cut out and let in for keel
Bulwarks planted on outside, to be faired in, supports added on inside
and the signature picture of the Parker pen
That's it for now
