I recently finished the BlueJacket Swampscott Dory kit and felt that i need something more challenging. I learnt a lot and would like to take the next step and hopefully learn from new mistakes. I researched some posts in this forum and got help from the amazing store here in Sweden (Eskader), after that i immediately knew that my second build would be BlueJacket Shipcrafters - The New York Pilot Schooner Mary Taylor. I have started the process to shape the hull, i choose the template method and have started making the templates from a cardboard.

Here's the kit contents of the BlueJacket Mary Taylor pilot boat. The kit comes with copper tape, but I will be using individual plates on this model.

This is my 2nd build. Received the Mary Taylor kit for Christmas 2018. My first build was the Swampscott Dory from Bluejacket, so this is a real step up in difficulty. I'm excited to get started and welcome all helpful feedback. The instructions suggest two ways to shape the hull 1) by eye, or 2) using hull templates. Since I'm new at this, I've chosen the template method. It takes a bit more work, but should produce a more accurate hull shape. I've marked the station lines from the Body Line Plan. Now it's time to create the templates.
