I love Maine shipbuilding history. I bought a Pinky kit to represent a Maine boat without any intention of any historical tie-ins. That model is in my massive pile of kits to build but your emphasis on it here may move it up in my que. Good luck to you sir.

The Marconi antennas were brutal. I replace the plastic spreaders with think steel pins. 

Masts rigged w/EZ line. Not as easy as I would have hoped!

Structure complete. Working on deck touch ups/Marconi wires

I used heavy EZ line for the stack guy wires. It went on super easy. Final assembly of the main structure.

More pics if now and stern.

I doubt very much there are over 200 of the little buggers. I will let you know when I hit that point!

Here are the 2 sets I got. I was on the fence for quite some time. In the end this model will be put in a case at a local CG facility as a display for the SOLAS treaty signed by the USCG in 1917. So my level if detail will not be as high as I would have liked. Still the deck chairs and benches were too much to pass up.

Ty!

This was a last minute choice in what will be 2 ships. This is the 1/400 Academy Titanic kit. I purchased laser cut wood decks, PE Deck Chairs, PE Hand Rails.

Here is a quick video of the model Shipways block Sander

Greetings gang. I started this build with a video on YouTube. There are other build logs on this same cutter and I am happy to see them all. Here is part one of the build:

Thanks for viewing. Music for the vid comes from the Colonial Seaport Museum. Sorry my video editing is not great!
