So, you’d like to build a ship model? Well, you’ve come to the right place! So many would-be modelers want to begin by building a huge 100-gun ship of the line. Most of those very expensive kits get started but never finished. The job is much too complex and the poor builder hasn’t acquired the skills needed. In this video, you will build the Lowell Grand Banks Dory Model 1/24 scale from Model Shipways. For this introductory kit, no previous knowledge is assumed or necessary.

-- Brief History --
Dories were developed on the East Coast in the 1800’s and were descendants of the French settlers’ bateaux of the 17th and 18th centuries. They were used extensively for fishing and lobstering, since they were easy and inexpensive to build and maintain. Despite their unusual shape, dories were very seaworthy and literally many thousands were built. One feature of these boats was that they could be nested one inside the other like stacking chairs. Their sears, called thwarts, were removable so that boats would fit inside each other. Fishing schooners carried many dories on board. They were others stacked as many as eight high on deck, both to port and starboard, when sailing out to fishing grounds of the Grand Banks and East Coast.

I just finished the model as far as the oars. Boy, was it difficult to chamfer the handles out, then shape the oars, LOL! Only had to scratch build two seats, so that’s good. It’s too cold now and too late to paint and put the rope on. Transom holes are too small for it anyway, so I’ll need to drill them out. Looking forward to the pram and the smack!

Nice video! Thanks. I think the boat should not be painted. The wood texture is beautiful and more connecting.

@@EZmodeling I purchased the kit (the 3-kits combo). I am building the Dory. The instructions also talked about Dory boat's history and why it was painted in Ochre Yellow (for visibility in the sea). My wife told me that her grandfather did fishing in a dory. So, I am carefully building this kit in the memory of her grandfather. We will put it on a display in the living room with a little writeup next to it. P.S. There are challenges involved in building the kit. One has to think twice before gluing! Thank you for the video again!!

I’m currently building this. I’ve noticed that the bottom cleat outlines are shorter than the laser cut edges of the boat bottom. Should I be cutting the 1/8 strip to the edges of the bottom instead? Also, I’m sure glad you recorded the frame buildup. It’s not apparent in the book exactly how to position the 2 halves. Your video showed it perfectly.

@EZmodeling 4 ай бұрын

Good question, Ross. I did NOT cut to edges. After researching and viewing a schematic of the grand dory from Wooden Boat museum, I think the outlines are right. The cleats were NOT touching the planks

@RossPotts 4 ай бұрын

Another thing. I just realized that curved board that gets glue to the inside of the transom is a bit oversized (a later shot @6:15 shows it fitting inside the hull at the top). I assume it’s okay to trim the sides to be parallel to the edges of the transom. I made sure I stayed within the glue line and the holes lined up.

@EZmodeling 4 ай бұрын

Yes. I trimmed/sanded the sides down in order to glue the upper plank. instruction page 14 photo 1 showed it clearly.

Thanks for this! I’m a plastic military modeler about to try this as my first wooden model. 2 questions: first, does airbrushed paint work well on wood? Second, can you suggest any simple weathering techniques so it looks less like it was just brought home from a boat store?

@EZmodeling 4 ай бұрын

Hi John, airbrushed paint work very well on the wood. Especially for some boat like Andrea Gail boat. You can do simple dry brushing weathering to them just like I did on the black Pearl. I am sure you can do weathering like chipping and winter snow to the armored vehicles on them too. There are lot of weathering resources at Ship of Scale and Modelshipworld websites. Good luck building!

Do you have a glass or plexiglass cover on the work surface to protect the pad?

@EZmodeling 9 ай бұрын

No, I work on the cutting mat directly.

Do the garboard planks overlap or just touch each other. Do the 45 degree bevels match against the 45 degree bevel of the plank below or above it ?

@EZmodeling 5 ай бұрын

I had 45 degree bevels for the boat bottom four garboard planks (2 E's and 2 F's). Then the planks overlapped just enough to cover the 45 degree bevels. The instructions may provide better clarification. Good luck building!

Do you glue the strakes while wet to the frame?

@EZmodeling 3 ай бұрын

Yes, I did glue while wet. The moisture helped preventing wood splintering if you wanted to use some pins to hold the boards down.

@gerryscott673 4 ай бұрын

I cannot round the thole pins. So small, I can’t do it without breaking them. Advice ? Also the the handle on the oars is too small for me to round . It breaks. Help?

@EZmodeling 4 ай бұрын

The thole pins, try to drill the holes a bit bigger. The oar handles, try use a needle file. do not need to be perfect rounding, at least mine are not. The instructions maybe helpful too. Good luck
