mtdoramike reacted to rshousha in Corsaro II by John Ruy - FINISHED - Corel - 1:24 Scale
Hi John,
Wow, this is so cool! My kids had a look at those early pictures I sent you and we figured the model was started closer to 2003 or 2004 than ten years ago! One of my daughters, who is about nine in the pictures, is now twenty-eight.
We're all happy see the model is in good hands!
Best Regards,
Rick

Welcome to my latest build log. Picked up this beautiful kit from my new friend out of Montreal. @rshousha Rick has had this model on the shelf for the past 10 + years and wanted to find someone who would take her to completion. I have accepted that challenge and so, here begins the rest of the story.
Here she is received into my home safe and undamaged via international shipment.
After a close inspection 🧐 I found that time had not been kind to her deck. My first order of business was to remove Rick’s wonderfully installed deck furnishings and fittings to restore and finish the decking.
I used Minwax color match filler to close the gaps and fine sand the finish.
I then cut in the scuppers and hause holes.
Prepared the hull for a few more coats of paint.
Drew the waterline and masked to paint from the waterline up.
And then waterline down…
Ready for some more sanding and then a few coats of clear ploy to give her a nice shine.
Rick,
Beautifully done hull and decking. 👍
We are on our way to completion. 🍻

mtdoramike got a reaction from BobG in Miss Chloe by mtdoramike - a Pat Tritle design
I have a few orphans awaiting their turn on the bench. Trumpeter USS Missouri 1/200 scale, Dumas Super Sport or the Dumas Jenny Lee. I will choose one in the next few weeks, I'm going to take a few weeks off from modeling to do some stuff around the house that I have been putting off for that (Tomorrow). It's finally cooling off here in central Florida so it's not as bad being outside.

I got the hull painted and put the decal on the transom. I still have to seal the decal though.

I laid down the cloth and resin in two coats after sanding inbetween. I also received the graphic for the transome the other day. "Miss Chloe in navy blue". Unlike the original, the predominant color of mine will be white.

I got the hull all planked, skim coated with bondo. Next will be laying down the fiber glass cloth and resin when humidity lays down a bit. I also started working on the cabin structure.

I've finished planking the hull and skimming the exterior with body filler. I'll lay down the fiberglass cloth and resin when the humidity goes down a bit.

No, I ordered from an ebay graphics company that I have been buying from for years.

Hi Mike,
I am enjoying your build of Miss Chloe! The decal that you have for the transom is awesome did you make it yourself or buy it?

I cut out the keel and frames from 1/8" plywood and now planking the hull with 1/8"x3/8" balsa planking. I picked up a square of fabric that I thought would be appropriate and look nice and a bit different than the usual striped canopy top.

This will be a build of a pleasure/river/lake boat, which was designed by Pat Tritle of the Miss Chloe. I will be working off of a set of plans that I obtained from P. Tritle. She will be roughly 26-27" in length and Beam will be about 7.5". I put in an order for the wood needed to build the Chloe from National Balsa. I started off by cutting out all of the frames and various parts from the plan sheet and gluing them to card stock type heavy paper in order to make templates for current and future use. I then tacked up the working plans and will stare at them for a few days in order to get prepared for the build.
Disclaimer: I may decide to make some changes here and there, so don't expect a straight from the plans type of build. You may be dissapointed.
