Ship History:

His Majesty Yacht (HMY) Fubbs was laid down at Greenwich shipyards by Phineas Pett in 1682.

By Royal Navy standards yachts would be the size of a typical harbor dispatch vessel or lightly armed gunboat. HMY Fubbs sported a keel length of only 63’ with at a specified 148 tons fully loaded. With a 21’ breadth and only 9’6” depth in hold these small ships carried a crew of up to 30 and could be armed with 8 – 12 3 pounders.

Royal Yacht duties primarily consisted of tending to the affairs of the royal household. Charles II must have enjoyed yacht class vessels as he had 23 of them during his reign – more than any other English king. HMY Fubbs was the most lavish of his fleet of Royal Yachts. Visually, the hull of a Royal Yacht has the look of a 6th rate but is more akin to a ketch-rigged sloop.

  As such, she has a mizzen mast that passes through the small great cabin and no true orlop deck at all. As will be shown later, the stern ports are too close to the waterline and are not actually accessible from inside the ship. What look like stern quarter galleries are more like quarter badges. Most contemporary modelers and many artists tend to imagine HMY Fubbs as a larger ship than it really is due to the illusion created by the artistic style of the ship.

Charles II employed well known Baroque period artists Van de Veldes younger and senior. Their artwork had a direct influence on the highly decorated HMY Fubbs.

  HMY Fubbs was named after the mistress of Charles II, the Duchess of Portsmouth, Louise de Keroualle. “Fubbs” was the nickname for Charles II mistress with the meaning of a chubby contemptuous child.

HMY Fubbs remained in service for more than 80 years before being broken up in 1781. During that time, it went through 2 refits. One in 1701 and again in 1724. During the 1724 refit, most of her carvings were salvaged and replaced by painted frieze work.

The concept of the stern section was developed by Mike Shanks and DocBlake. They acquired the drawings and reference material used for the HMY Fubbs 1725 rebuild kit from Bob Hunt at Lauck Street Shipyard. Mike Shanks created the drawings using this and other resources. Mike has a well-equipped shop with laser, CNC, and 3D printing capabilities which he used to build the prototype for the model. Jodie Grein developed the artwork and 3D drawings for the décor, Mike used the artwork along with all the parts for ten kits. This model is made from one of the kits. Weasel Works is a private club, and the kits are not available to the public.

The frames for the section are a style used by Portia Takakjian in the 1725 rebuild drawings she made, and Bob Hunt used in his kit. Although not historically correct they produced an accurate representation of the hull.

PLEASE take 30 SECONDS and sign up for the epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series.   Click on  http://trafalgar.tv     There is no cost other than the 30 seconds of your time.  THANK YOU

Mike...Looking great.  Cant wait to see you start making progress.  I have seen some of Mike Shanks progress on the development of this project...happy you started a build log here.

Allan...this is just a small group of model builders that got together and made a few kits for their little group.  It is not a commercial kit.  There are about a half dozen participants, maybe a few more.   I think Pat...Banyan is also building one but I am not sure.  Hopefully he will start a log as well.

SYREN SHIP MODEL COMPANY

For many years there has been confusion over the different versions of Fubbs . The one you show here is the 1724 rebuild, not the 1682 original Fubbs. The original had a straight cutwater, more vertical stern post and a taller, rounded tafferel. The inboard arrangements were very different than that  of the rebuild. 

That the above statements are accurate is part of the result of several years research by the Stuart Yacht Research Group, a small international group of historians and model-makers of which I happen to be a member.

Our focus is on building a nice-looking model using modern building methods.  We are not naval historians, just a few old guys that enjoy building model ships as a hobby. We used Portia Takakjian’s as a resource for the structural components of our model.

Has the Stuart Yacht Research Group published their findings on the 1682 version of the ship? I would be interested in seeing the original drawings of the ship.

Mike: There are no contemporary draughts (I wish!), just a van de Velde painting, a copy of another van de Velde, now lost, and a v de V drawing of 'de fob'. There is also a contemporary model in private hands that is an 'Admiralty' style model that we have identified as Fubbs.

The findings of the SYRG will get published, but the manuscript is still in preparation with no date yet set.

Druxey: Thanks for the information. We are not planning on building another Fubbs model, but I find the ship very interesting.

It has been a while since I built a kit and the first time, I used laser cut frames. The large scale 1:24 made the parts easy to handle the eight pieces are joined with lap joints Making them very easy to assemble, with the exception of frame #25 the forward frame. It was cut using a CNC machine and uses scarph joints that fit perfectly together.

After removing the frames from the shipping box, I sorted the frames. Each part has the frame number etched on the aft side of the frame making the orientation easy to maintain. The bevel lines were also etched into the frame parts also. After sorting the parts I bundled them by frame number and divided them into five stacks. Divide & Conquer LOL.

Removing the char was not too bad using a spindle sander, but using the port on the machine for the vacuum left a lot of dust in the air so I clamped the hose about a quarter inch off the spindle that removed almost all the dust.

I assembled the frames by placing the frame drawing on a sheet metal plate and using magnets to hold the parts in place while the glue dried.

When the glue dried, I formed a vertical stack to check the bevels.

Hubac's Historian

Magnet clamps?  WOW!  Such a cool idea!

We are all works in progress, all of the time.

Frames continued:

When Mike Shanks assembled the hull, he used a vertical stacking system. He described ever step with detailed photos and easy to understand instructions. The prototype went together quite well, all the frames are square and level.

  That being said, I am more comfortable with a horizontal build using a jig I have used for many years. I made a vertical stack as a dry run to check the bevels and general alignment. Everything looked good.

  I left the keel open ended. There is no space between the frames, and it is hot and humid in Myrtle Beach which adds to the expansion / contraction problem. It is easier to trim the keel than rework the frames.

I added spacers at the top of the frames, with centerlines to help with the frame alignment with a string line, level and square as each frame is added.

A few words about the jig I am using. I designed and built this one in 2012 and have used it for many models. If anyone is interested in the jig, I will post a PDF file here.

Thanks for looking in on the build log, any comments are welcome.

Portia Takakjian ignited the single-foothook HMY Fubbs fire (as rebuilt 1724) 33 years ago.

Romero wrote a great book a little later and Bob Hunt made 30 nice kits after that.

Some kit-maker needs to step up and make the WW guys a worthwhile offer.

• mtaylor , CiscoH and Mike 41

After the frames were assembled, I glued them in place on the keel using a string line to keep the frames centered, clamps to align the internal bevels and a small level on top of the spacers.

The bottom of the frames required trimming at the start of the dead wood, it is easy to do by measuring and trimming each frame before gluing it in place.

After the basic hull was complete, I removed the top spacers and used a hand grinder with a flapper wheel to even out the frames.

Kellson & Waterway Limber Boards.

The keelson was soaked in hot water and bent to fit the curvature of the frames. I used glue and brass wire pins to secure the keelson to the frames. The limber boards were soaked in hot water and clamped to the keelson to dry. When dry I used spacers between them and the keelson and glued and pined them in place.

MikeS reminded me I should not have glued the floor in place before the exterior planking so it would not get dirty with sawdust. No damage was done, just some extra work.

Exterior Planking

The exterior planking is typical with the exception of a slot for the main and mizzen masts channels. The planking is Maple, and the wales and channel filler pieces are Walnut which makes a nice contrast.

Great Cabin Paneling

The great cabin paneling is cherry with lines etched to represent individual boards. The five panels were easy to install. I used a router bit in a Dremel tool to cut the window openings, it was fast and required using a file for cleanup work.

HMY Fubbs was a Royal Yacht of the Royal Navy of Great Britain. She was scrapped towards the end of the eighteenth century after having been in service for 99 years.

She was designed for King Charles II by Phineas Pett and built in 1682 at Greenwich. She was rigged as a ketch. The yacht's name came from the King's pet name for one of his mistresses, Louise de Kérouaille, Duchess of Portsmouth . [1] At the time 'Fubbs' meant plump, or chubby, a fashionable type of the female form at the time. [4] Apparently she was a fast vessel. After Charles II's death, she was used by King James II as one of his fleet of nine personal yachts. She was in service until 1781.

Service [ ]

Fubbs underwent several rebuilds during her long career, the first taking place in 1701, when she was rebuilt at Woolwich Dockyard under the supervision of Master Shipwright William Lee. [2] Relaunched in 1701, she was commissioned around May that year under the command of Commander Richard Byron. Byron commanded Fubbs until 1707, during which time the yacht served as a bomb ketch in Sir George Rooke's fleet, going out to the Mediterranean in 1703. She was then part of George Byng's squadron in the winter of 1706-1707. [2] She passed to Commander Charles Desborough in 1708, and was back in the Mediterranean in 1714. Captain William Collier took over command in 1716, and he remained until 1734, during which time Fubbs was ordered to be rebuilt in 1724. [2]

She was ordered to be rebuilt on 9 March 1724, and was taken in hand at Deptford Dockyard by Master Shipwright Richard Stacey. The work having been completed, she was relaunched on 22 October 1724. [3] William Collier continued as her captain until 1734, when Fubbs underwent a middling repair at Deptford, which lasted into 1735. One of her last services before the repair was to carry the Princess Royal and her new husband, William IV, Prince of Orange , from Greenwich to Holland after their marriage. [5] A more comprehensive great repair was carried out at the same dockyard in 1737, and from that year until 1745, Fubbs was under the command of Captain Francis Dansays. Dansays was succeeded by Captain Thomas Limeburner from 1746, with Limeburner dying in command in 1750. [3] Further alterations were carried out in late 1749, to 'raise her deck as much as may conveniently'. [3] Fubbs then passed to Commander Edward Richards in 1751, and he remained her captain until 1756. Richards was succeeded the following year by Commander Henry Dubois. [3]

In August 1761 she joined a flotilla led by Admiral of the Fleet Lord Anson aboard the primary royal yacht HMY Royal Caroline . [3] Anson had orders to convey Duchess Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz from Cuxhaven, Kiel to marry King George III . Accompanying the yacht, renamed HMY Royal Charlotte in honour of the occasion, was a squadron of warships and three other royal yachts in addition to Fubbs , HMY Mary , Katherine and Augusta . [6] During the return voyage the squadron was three times blown over to the Norwegian coast by westerly gales and took ten days to reach Harwich, which it did on 6 September 1761. [3]

Fubbs was recommissioned in December 1763 under Captain Richard Spry , and underwent a small repair in 1765. Her final captain, between 1766 and 1781 was A. T. Percival. Fubbs was finally withdrawn from service and broken up in July 1781. [3]

DOVER KENT ARCHIVES Sort file:- Greenwich, Page Updated:- Earliest 1832- Fubb's Yacht Demolished 1930s 9 Brewhouse Lane Greenwich The alley known as Dark Entry, which ran from Brewhouse Lane to Billingsgate Street past Huntley's Coal Yard, circa 1900. I believe the above photo is of Brewhouse Lane or Turpin Lane 1900. But not sure if Fubbs Yacht is in view. Above photo, circa 1900. Almost whole length of Brewhouse Lane can be seen here, most of it occupied by Mr. Huntley, whose coal yard with its railway system and jagged glass-topped wall is prominent. The mansard roof of the "Fubbs Yacht" adds visual punctuation to an otherwise dismal street. 'Fubb' meant Trollope or whore in the last century. Above photo showing a drinking mug from the pub dated early 1800s. Brewhouse Lane ran west off the northern end of Greenwich Church Street, and has been demolished, circa 1930s. Above map 1893 showing the location of "Fubb's Yacht." " ," " ." Above drawing circa 1695 showing "10" location of " " and "11" "Fubbs Yacht." The " " is the building to the left of "11". " " to the left of that. Garden Stairs. This important landing place has been identified for us by the artist with a pencil sketch of the stairs and an inn sign added to the building on the west (10). The stairs had the "Peter Boat Tavern" on the east and the " " on the west. The stairs seem to have taken their name from the Skame or Skerne family who owned land in the town in the 16th century. This landing place was an important access to the town as it stood at the northern end of Greenwich, Church Street. It is clear from Samuel Travers’ Survey of 1695 and the parish rate books that the northern end of Church Street was originally ‘High Street’; the present name was only applied to the southern stretch near the parish church. Most visitors to the town would have arrived at either Garden Stairs or Ship Stairs further west. This part of the drawings shows the riverfront from the stairs, between the two public houses, the buildings in Brewhouse Lane to the ancient Billingsgate Dock. When this dock was created is not known but a document of 1449 refers to it. This congested area of alleyways and streets was photographed by T.L. Brooker in c.1900 when Brewhouse Lane was dominated by Huntley’s Coal Wharf and "Fubb’s Yacht" pub (11). Running north/south from Brewhouse Lane was the grimly named ‘Dark Entry’, and, to the south Billingsgate Street. All have gone presenting us with panoramic views of the river in both directions - a feature that was not enjoyed at the opening of the 18th century and indeed not until the creation of Cutty Sark Gardens in 1953. Information and illustrations from The Keys Family and Brewhouse Lane, Julian Elphick, academia.edu. Brewhouse Lane was described in Charles Booth’s survey for his Maps Descriptive of London Poverty (1886-1903) as ‘a narrow, paved court. Coal landing stage at the west end with public house adjoining. Then three-storied houses. ? in rooms. Windows broken and patched with wood and paper. A low, low lot. Great puffy women and dirty children’. The court was only about two metres wide and ran for some seventy-five metres, parallel with the river, between Garden Stairs, at the northern end of Church Street, in the east, to Billingsgate Dock in the west. The eastern end was cleared in the 1890s and the glazed dome over the entrance shaft of the Greenwich foot tunnel under the river to the Isle of Dogs now stands on the site. The western end was cleared in the 1930s, the area becoming Dodd’s Wharf. The whole area now forms part of Cutty Sark Gardens. Now we must consider the court’s name; it is reasonable to assume that a brewhouse once stood there. I have found no evidence of such a brewhouse existing in the area in the eighteenth or nineteenth centuries. However, records of the Manor of East Greenwich in 1695 record that ‘Capt. Barrett holdeth one tenement (a brewhouse) with the appurtenances, having the River of Thames north, the widow Crispe’s lands south and east, Billingsgate Dock west…’ for which he was paying an annual rent of one shilling (5p). Further, John Wooten was paying tuppence per annum (1p) for ‘one tenement, having the lands of Capt, Warner’s heirs east, the lands of Capt. Barrett, being the Brewhouse, west, Brewhouse Lane south, and the River of Thames north…’. Bearing in mind the brewhouse’s proximity to the river and its bustling trade, it is probably safe to assume that Captain Barrett was a mariner, rather than a military gentleman, and that the output of his brewhouse went to the victualling of ships, a trade which was taken by the rise of the common brewers in the eighteenth century. However, it is not difficult to imagine that some of Barratt’s beer went down the throats of thirsty boatmen. Perhaps, and this is pure speculation on my part, the brewhouse may have been the genesis of the pub in Brewhouse Lane, the Fubbs Yacht? The original pub, of wooden construction like the surrounding houses, was burnt down in a large fire in 1847, was rebuilt in brick and traded until about the time of the Great War. The pub’s odd name is derived from His Majesty’s Yacht Fubbs, which was built at Greenwich in 1682. Fubbs was Charles II’s pet name for one of his mistresses, Louise de Kérouaille, and it was a term popular at the time, meaning plump or chubby. The ketch-rigged vessel had a long career, was rebuilt and modified a number of times and was withdrawn from service and broken up in July 1781. Caledonian Mercury 08 September 1748. Yesterday the baggage of his Royal Highness of Cumberland, was put on Board the "Fubbs Yacht" at Greenwich, which is to sail with all Expedition for Harwich. And tomorrow 'tis expected his Royal Highness will set out from St. James's for Harwich, in order to embark on Board the said Yacht for Holland.   Kentish Independent 10 January 1846. BURGLARY. William Ward, of Thames-street, Greenwich, mason, and James Barrett, a potter, having no home, were charged with burglariously breaking into the house of Mr. Joseph Cole the "Fubbs Yacht," Thames-street, Greenwich, and stealing therefrom a coat, bilk handkerchief, a shawl, a cap, and 5s. 6d. in cash. Mr. Cole deposed that he cleared his house on Sunday night. The prisoners remained until the last minute, when he was compelled, in order to get rid of them, to put out the gas-light and extinguish the fire. Witness then went to bed. He came down stairs on Monday morning about a quarter past seven, when he found the bar-door open, the sash window drawn up, and the parlour shutters half open, and a square of glass broken. This enabled the robbers to remove the box which held the bolt and get in. Sergeant Lovell, 15 R, deposed that on being sent for, he found the window, &c., as described by the last witness. From information received, he apprehended Ward, who said that he slept at the "Bell Inn," Aldgate, the previous night, and that on leaving the next morning, his uncle, at the "Bell," gave him five shillings. The prisoner had bought a new shirt and handkerchief in Bishopsgate-street, although the previous day be was pennyless. Ward had since confessed that his story of going to the "Bell" was untrue, that he had robbed the house in connection with Barrett, who had taken the coat and sold it to a Jew in London for ten shillings, and further, that he (prisoner) held the light while Barrett effected the robbery. Police-sergeant Roscoe said that be apprehended Barrett in bed at a public-house in East Greenwich, who declared his innocence. John Brennan, of the " ," remembered the prisoners coming to his house on Sunday, when they appeared to have no money. On Monday, at 11 o'clock forenoon, they came again and had some beef steaks cooked for dinner. He furnished some ale. They paid and went away. Mr. Jeremy here said, that it would be necessary to remand them for a week, in order that strict inquiries might be made by the police as to the missing property. The prisoners were accordingly remanded to Maidstone gaol for a week.   From The Morning Post, Thursday, 8 July, 1847. THUNDER-STORM. DREADFUL AND EXTENSIVE FIRE CAUSED BY THE LIGHTNING. A terrific thunder-storm broke over the metropolis yesterday morning, passing from S.W. to N.E. It commenced about half-past twelve, and lasted until after two. During the raging of this storm the electric fluid struck the roofing of the private dwelling in the occupation of Mr. Wiseman, Brewer's lane, Greenwich, near to the Hospital, and close by the Watermen’s Pier, at the bottom of Church-street, and set fire to several other dwellings. It appears that-one of the neighbours, being alarmed by the thunder, went to one of her windows to throw it open, when a stream of fire shot from the clouds and at once illuminated the hemisphere, striking it immediately over the roofing of the premises in Mr. Wiseman's occupation; in a short time she saw the roof on fire, and aroused her neighbours. Scores of poor people, who inhabit this densely crowded thoroughfare, jumped from their beds, and rushed from their dwellings almost in a state of nudity, and some narrow escapes from injury were experienced, the fire travelling with great rapidity from the fact that the cottages were chiefly constructed of timber. Several engines soon arrived, and the hose on the float being led from the Thames, and the engines well supplied, vast bodies of water were soon poured upon the burning materials, but the fire proposed from house to house, until it encircled an area of great extent, from Mr. Wiseman’s private dwelling it extended to the lofts and storerooms of Messrs. W. and K. Huntley, sail-makers, thence to the warehouses of the same firm, and the private residence of one of the partners. Several cottages on the same side of the way then became ignited, while those on the opposite side, in Coombe’s-court, caught fire. The excitement then became extreme. The poor people were compelled to stand by and see their little all of furniture and effects destroyed, all their efforts to save it being cut off by the fury of the flames. The efforts of the firemen were directed for some time to removing some wooden partitions, that they might if possible save the ancient water-side house, the "Fubbs’s Yacht," but their exertion proved fruitless—the whole of the building and its contents are destroyed. At this critical juncture much judgment was displayed by the directors of the firemen, the water being copiously distributed from points commanding the seat of the fire, while other men were stationed with their branches so as to keep cool the reeking walls of the adjacent buildings. By seven o’clock the fire was so far subdued that no farther danger of its extension appeared, and by nine o’clock nothing remained but a smouldering mass of ruins. Subjoined is the official report:— "July 7, 1847. Fire upon the premises undermentioned, situated severally in Brewer’s lane and Coombe’s-court, near the Hospital, Greenwich. Broke out upon the premises in the occupation of Mr. T. Wiseman (private); burnt down—not at present known if insured. Premises of Messrs. W. and R. Huntley, mast, block, and sail-makers; building and contents burned down—insurance unknown. Private house and warehouse belonging to the same firm; roof off, and stock and furniture seriously damaged—not known if insured. Mr. James Finch, Brewer’s-lane (private); all but destroyed—supposed to be insured in the Sun Fire-office. House of Mr. T. Cole, licensed victualler, sign "Fubbs’s Yacht;" burned down—contents insured in the Phoenix, building unknown. Mrs. Truscott (private); burned down—not insured. Coombe's court.—Mr. S. Welsh (private); burned down—uninsured. Mr. Burns (private); burned down—uninsured. Mrs. Taylor (private); front damaged, walls partially pulled down—not insured. Mr. Lant (private); similarly injured. Three houses on the opposite side, occupied severally by Mr. Blackman, Mr. Giles, and Mr. Matthews, are also destroyed—cause, electric fluid. Happily, no one was injured." LATEST PARTICULARS. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Braidwood, the superintendent of the London Fire Establishment, proceeded to the scene of conflagration, for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not the calamity was occasioned by electricity. The result of that officer’s investigation. leaves no doubt that the fire was caused by lightning. Two persons, who lived in Brewer's lane, positively asserted that they saw the buildings struck. Mrs. Giles, whose house and furniture have been reduced to ashes, stated that about ten minutes before two o’clock she was awoke from her slumbers by a peal of thunder resembling the discharge of a piece of ordnance against her house. Imagining that the house was falling, she immediately got out of bed, and pulling the blind on one side, she looked out of window, when she saw a streak of lightning shoot in an oblique direction, and strike the sail loft of Mr. Huntley. It had no sooner done so than smoke and flames shot forth, in the first instance in small bodies. She, seeing what was likely to take place, apprised her family, and by the time they could get dressed the principal portion of Mr. Huntley’s property was enveloped in one broad sheet of flame. It is the general opinion that several parts of the same building were fired simultaneously. This is borne out by a man named Smith, a shoemaker. He stated that he had got up and gone into the Court, when he saw a stream of lightning shoot in a “zig zag” form through the alley, as if its progress was impeded by the walls of the houses, and as soon as it touched the arch that crossed the lane, and which connected Mr. Huntley's stores, it made a whizzing noise like the discharge of a squib, and in less than a minute afterwards the fire was distinctly visible in several places. At the time of the outbreak there were an immense quantity of blocks, spars, tar, ropes, and canvass, and other equally inflammable articles in the premises which will account for the rapid progress of the conflagration. Shortly after the premises belonging to Mr. Huntley became fired the side walls bulged out, and then the flames extended right and left almost with the swiftness of that element which had caused the mischief. Mr Huntley, sen., who had been confined to his bed by illness, was unable to escape to avoid his being burned to death; a man named Blackmore carried him on his back to his son’s private residence. Had it not been for the services of the floating engine, there is no doubt that the " " and the Watermen’s Steam Packet Office would also have been laid in ruins. Since Mr. Braid wood’s official report was made out yesterday morning, it has been ascertained that the mast and sail-making premises of Mr. Huntley were insured in the Sun and Phoenix Fire-offices. The salt warehouses of Mr. W. Huntley were insured in the Sun. Mrs. Finch, whose premises were nearly destroyed, was insured in the same office. Mr Cole, the proprietor of the "Fubbs’s Yacht" public-house, was insured in the Phoenix. Mrs. Truscott, Mr. S. Welsh, Mr Burns, Mr. Taylor, Mr. Blackman, Mr Giles, and Mr. Matthews, were not insured for a single penny. The latter were poor hard-working people, and having been deprived of house and furniture, there is do doubt that a subscription will be opened for them. At five o’clock last evening a great deal of fire remained beneath the ruins, and a couple of engines with several firemen were obliged to be kept on the spot in case of a fresh outbreak. At present it is impossible to tell with precision the amount of the losses, but from the fact of several of the buildings having been substantial brick erections, the damage must of necessity be very considerable.   From the Borough of Greenwich Free Press, 4 September, 1858. Suspension of Licenses. At the licensing day, on Thursday last, the following licenses were suspended:— Mr. Knowles, " ," London-street: Mr. Griffiths, "Fubbs Yacht," Billingsgate-dock; Mr. Ballinger, " ," Blackheath-hill, Greenwich.   Coventry Evening Telegraph 16 February 1914. CURIOUS INN SIGNS. In a return of the licenses of public-houses which are in the course of extinction, issued by the London County, occur many peculiar names, including the " " from Woolwich and "Fubbs Yacht," Greenwich. I am informed by Graham McDougal that his maternal grand-father, William Hughes was living there in 1914 when he signed his attestation papers for WW1, although it is unknown where he was the licensee. His family were still living in the building till at least 1915, so the building was still there in that year, but had moved to Eltham by 1917.

Ships of Scale Build Logs SOS Build Logs from Kits - Wood HMY Fubbs, 1724 Thread starter Thread starter lauckstreet Start date Start date Sep 10, 2017 Watchers Watchers 3 Tags Tags fubbs lauckstreet lauckstreet Sep 10, 2017 Group, Back in 2008 I had developed and was producing a CNC milled plank on frame kit of the Royal Yacht, HMY Fubbs. The kit was designed to be built as a Navy Board model. It was inspired by a scratchbuilt model I built years earlier of the ship using the plans drawn by Portia Takakjian. The kit was developed using AutoCAD. It was done mostly in costello boxwood. The kit featured special paintings along the sides (a painted frieze) of the ship and on various bulkheads on the deck that I drew using Adobe Photoshop and printed on a glossy peel and stick sticker paper. I knew that given the level of detail and complexity of these drawings, most modelers would not be able to duplicate them. Since they were a major aspect of the beauty of the ship, I felt it was important to include them in the kit. The model and kit also featured a very special parquet floor in the great cabin. This floor used a number of species of wood including boxwood, holly, and swiss pear. This build log will show how the model was assembled/constructed from the kit parts. No modifications were made to the kit. What you see here is what you got in the kit. I no longer produce this kit or any other kit for that matter. The cost and availability of costello boxwood in the required thicknesses is prohibitive for such a kit and the demand dropped off completely by 2009 and the housing market crash. I hope you enjoy this build log. The Fubbs is one of 5 plank on frame kits that I used to produce. Bob   Also, you'll notice some pencil lines in the next to the last photo across the hull. These were used to trim the frames in the open areas so that a smooth line of transition was formed from one frame to the next across the entire hull. This is a signature trait of the Navy Board model style. Bob   Administrator Interesting ship Bob,I will follow this.   Very cool Bob. Thanks for sharing, I will follow along!   Sep 11, 2017 G'day Bob, now thats ship modelling, that is just beautiful, I will follow this with interest, best regards John.   Amazing work Bob, I have only seen finished Admiralty ship models at the National Maritime Museum at Greenwich in London, it's good to see one actually being built, Cheers Andy   Thanks Andy and John. Keep in mind, back in 2008 I produced this kit. There may still be some out there that haven't been built that you might see on eBay. The kit sold for $600.00 so if you find one some time, I'd be interested in how much they were asking for it. Take care, Bob   Sep 12, 2017 I'd give my eye teeth for this kit, Bob! It's the only one of your I don't own.   Well if you find one for Dave, you better find one for me as well!! :text-thankyouyellow:   I can't help you with a kit but I might be able to help you with the complete set of plans, which includes all of the frame drawings, all of the parts drawings, the deck drawings, the practicum on how to build it, the photo Cd with all of the photos I took of the prototype when I built it, a complete wood list which includes the dimensions of all the billets and stripwood, a complete parts list, the image files for the painted frieze and other painted bulkheads, and even the CAD parts files so Mike could laser cut the parts for you both. Interested? If so, email me and we'll work it out. Take care, Bob   DonRobinson She is a great looking ship Bob and would be a compliment to anyone's collection.
