How about PVC house gutter drain pipe? it’s rectangular in shape of about that dimension. comes in 10 foot lengths I believe. -
The Royal Yacht Britannia the Question of Paint colour.
jerome replied to AKRYPTO's topic in Nautical/Naval History
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. -
A very neat subject to model. looking forward to the rest of this build.

Work area pictures only

Love this shop. It seems very comfortable. -
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.

Could you run some clear Matt finish over it once it’s rigged on the model? that would cut the sheen.

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.

Very nice workmanship Gary.

And away she goes. Yesterday in Penobscot bay. She will now leave US waters for Turkey.

Miniature wood rasps?
jerome replied to Captain Cambo's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Search for rifiler files. I believe that will fit the bill.

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.

That ice is the best looking ice I ever seen. Excellent!

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.

Wow! finally someone building this long ago made kit. I vaguely remember this kit. I live close to Rockland, Maine and grew up just south of Rockland so remember the Outward bound school and there pulling boats. Never seen a build of the kit so will be interesting to follow along. Good luck. one tip for the planking aspect. put scotch tape on the molds so t when glueing the planks on you do not inadvertently glue them to the molds.

I was wondering how much work you’d get accomplished being in the museum working on this model. You have become an entity and can answer questions for visitors. Visitors like this kind of thing. best of luck on this renovation/ build.

Nice to see this beautiful boat being built.

The ice plants in Maine only supplied crushed ice. it was easier to shovel. Not sure about the southern ports.

Found plenty of images here. https://www.google.com/gasearch?q=chesapeake oyster drag/dredge&source=sh/x/gs/m2/5

One like this?

What ever you use for ice I would add some broken pieces of mica to the top surface to give the sparkly look of ice.

Lovely project. I will search out a copy of this book to read it. Very clever idea.

I’ve restored a number of ship models over the past 27 years and can honestly say you never know what the original builders intent was, you can only guess that what you are about to do is in line with there thoughts. And with a bit of luck what you add to the model will not be noticeable to the average viewer. You will find something’s are not able to be fixed or adjusted. You just have to live with it and not fall in love with the restoration. once it’s completed everything will be fine.
