  1. How about PVC house gutter drain pipe? it’s rectangular in shape of about that dimension. comes in 10 foot lengths I believe.
  2. Andy, if you investigate the marine paint line of Epifanies you’ll find they have a royal blue color that I bet would be pretty close to what’s used on Britannia. it not cheap paint but you will have a whole quart of it. And this paint can be put into a rattle can to give you a spray paint. Most NAPA auto parts stores can put paint into a spray can.
  3. A very neat subject to model. looking forward to the rest of this build.
  4. Love this shop. It seems very comfortable.
  5. That’s the way to do it. if the lid becomes stuck run a butane torch around the lids edge, that little bit of heat will soften the shellac and you should be able to unscrew the lid easily.
  6. Could you run some clear Matt finish over it once it’s rigged on the model? that would cut the sheen.
  7. An excellent choice for a scratch build. Tally Ho is a beautiful sailboat.
  8. Keith, If it were I, I would leave the stabilizers off the boat. The gracefulness of the hull is just too sweet to have something hanging off it. Here’s a similar hull of a plastic kit currently being built.
  9. And away she goes. Yesterday in Penobscot bay. She will now leave US waters for Turkey.
  10. Search for rifiler files. I believe that will fit the bill.
  11. Does anyone know of publications printed around 1855? specific to rigging large American ships. This is for a real boat rigger friend of mine who’s at a loss on this era of rigging. Thanks.
  12. And in case you’re curious. Cyrus Hamlin designed this pulling boat. Plans for this boat may be here: Additional material, including the majority of Hamlin's ships plans, can be found in the Daniel S. Gregory Ships Plans Library, Mystic Seaport Museum, Mystic, CT.
