  1. Did your kit come with the scroll work and name decals or did you make them? My kit is an older one and that wasn't included.
  2. Excellant job! ever see a St. Pierre dory? just like a Grand banks, but up to 30ft. long. Incredible Job on the Spray by the way.
  3. Looking great! Blue Nose is one of my all time favorite vessels. Incredible job detailing.
  4. Howdy All. Just started working on the Emma C, my first true pof kit. The first frame was the most nerve-wracking to me, because all follow suit after that. I posted a few pics, nothing to exciting yet. Laid the keel, built the building jig and mounted frames 1-4. This is a great site, tons of talent and great photos of build-ups. So far many questions I've had have been answered just by reading posts. I have been up close to the Emma C, I have a relative who worked at the Mystic Seaport back in the early 80's. have seen all the vessels there up close and personal, even been aloft on the Morgan, too bad digital cameras weren't available then...
  5. working on:Model Shipways's Emma C Berry

  6. Amazing job! Your post answered all the questions I had. Emma C is my first true plank on frame build . I just laid the keel and assembled the building jig. The main question I have is beveling the frames. I don't like Model Shipway's approach, and tried there way on there Bluenose kit and I didn't like the out come. I used to live in Mystic Ct, ( early 90's) and would see Emma C. floating at her mooring, when I headed up the Mystic river to go chase Bass and Bluefish.
