steamschooner got a reaction from mtaylor in John Cudahy by steamschooner - FINISHED - 1/4" scale - Steam Tug
Patrick, Some of them are version 1 which will be put aside (the two that have some paint ) The two that are version 2 will get painted and used on my model.

Like the work boat I ended up making another plug and building a shell on it. If it was a real boat it would leak like crazy, but this is a " paint grade boat ". I am getting a small collection of them, but still need the practice and improvement. First two photos are of lifeboat version 2 still on the plug. Two more of version 2 off the plug. My growing collection And my plugs which you can see the different shapes.

Thanks Carl and Lawrence for your compliments above! A special thanks, also, to all who added their Likes as well.
Just a quick update so far. Tonight I added the chrome flashing around the bow's port and starboard anchor wells. They don't look too bad; contrasting nicely against Majellan's black hull. I also tried my hand at doing one of her two anchors. Not a bad try, I thought. I'll see if I can do any better and once satisfied, I'll paint them a silvery colour.
I hope you enjoy the photos, folks.
All the best!
Patrick

OK, I have managed to get boat number 2 ( life boat ) version 1 finished. I think it's a keeper! So now I have both boat shells done. Now comes the easy part, adding the detail to the work boat and making a cover for the life boat.

I was not happy with boat version 1 so I went for version 2 which came off the plug as can be seen below. I still need to add ribs and such. we will see if there is a version 3

Well I have made some progress with my ship's boat. I also realized that the two boats that the Cudahy carried were different. So i guess I need to made another plug for the other boat. First one came off with out damage. Adding detail and a little strength to the form. Have a few more things to do with the boat like making a set of oars to tie down in side of it and adding some oarlock blocks.

I decided to take a break from the Pequot itself and build the three ships boats. There were two launches which may have been alike, but I wanted to make then different, and one dory. The two launches which are 2.75 inches long will be mounted amidships and the dory is 2.5 inches long and will be at the port stern. Now it’s back to the Pequot. There’s still a lot to do on the main deckhouse, rails on the upper deck, and on, and on.
We’ll just have to wait and see what Bob will do next.

Hi everyone
Thanks for all of your Likes and comments - greatly appreciated!
I've taken a short break from the Lower Deck's accommodation to focus on finishing off the ship's Bridge (located on the Bridge Deck, of course!). Principally, I've added a couple of cabinets and other assorted items to give the bridge some degree of credibility. I've also made the all important "Skipper's Chair", which can be seen in a few of the photos.
Lastly, located just aft of the bridge itself, on the starboard side, is a small washroom with a toilet in it. I've started fit this out as well. All that's required to be added is the toilet bowl itself. Later folks, later...
I hope you like these photos.
Cheers
Patrick

Bob, You have shown us all what you can do so no doubt your boats will turn out great as well.
