bdgiantman2 got a reaction from Omega1234 in Yacht Mary by bdgiantman2 - Building first POF
Hello friends. I had to take a break from Yacht Mary to focus on school and my job, as well as overcome some technical issues. Now that school is out and most of the technical issues have been resolved, I am back to working on the model. So I am currently working on the stern plates.. Am making the false cannon openings that are on either side of the rudder, complete with metal bars. Have to remake the strips for the door frames, messed those up. Also will be attempting soon the two inner most frames that make up the pavilion on Mary. Pics will be coming soon.

Finally learned the answer to my own question! An Allen wrench has to be jammed into a small hole on the shaft which then allows the current head to be replaced by any other you want from the collection
Glad to know another new skill

Piet,
My first MBLS was a minor bash - All of the photos from this build went 'missing', I'm working on adding these back. One photo is the drawing from Chapelle's book which should help.
My second MBLS was a major bash - the final model contains only 6 parts from the kit and all of them were altered (2nd + 3rd bulkhead, transom, two cockpit combings and the cut water). This build has a working rudder, centerboard, fish wells, hatch opening, full cabin, floor boards in the cockpit and cabin, mast step, port side bunk and is single planked in walnut. I've added back most of these photos, should have all added back soon.
The links to these builds are in my signature.

I like your CAD drawings. Those would be really cool if going to completely scratch-build that little boat.
On my second Smack, I am going to be replacing all the balsa siding with basswood. Plan to also make the storage containers again under the cockpit seats. Can't wait to see how this kit comes along.

Welcome to building ship models, Petrus! I have one completed model of this little lobster smack and a second one about half way done that I will probably make some changes to. I will be glad to be of any help to you that I can with your model. Good luck and will be watching from West Coast.

PS - I happen to be an aviation enthusiast as well wanting to working at an airport as the manager of the place. Probably not really related to what you used to do, but know you help make some rules for us also.

Yes, the large model is the Mary and mine will be similar in many ways. Thanks for the share, Sticlaru, you did a great job on your model and she is a beauty.

So I decided to attempt making my first POF model using plans by Mamoli of Yacht Mary. Enlarged the plans to double the size, so nearly 3/8 scale. I am making this model out of bass wood. So far I have the keel made and am now working on hull frames. Pics enclosed.
