Thanks Lester, glad you stopped by. Seeing the boats and photographing them on this last stop really helped. Just let me know when you're ready to post.

Added the remaining details to the boat. The first boat is now completed and ready for painting. Completed the painting and ID'd it as Orange. One down and four to go. I'm quite pleased with how it turned out. Adding all the little stuff was fun and really made it look like the real ones. I will finish all the boats to this stage before adding the accessories to make them ready to mount to the Morgan later.

Thanks George, this should answer your question concerning how I was going to finish the interior.

Hi George, I plan to follow the paint scheme used on the real whaleboats. The interiors will be gray,and the outsides white with black rails and various colors for the stripe for identification as shown on the previous posts. Glad to hear about the Mill, you will enjoy it. I'll have to check on the part for you.

The first of the five remaining whaleboats is shown with the following interior details installed. The Cieling Planks were installed first, then the 5 Thwarts (seats), the Stern Sheets (lower decking or Boat Steers Sole) the Bow Sheets (lower decking or Harpooners Sole), the Mast Step, the Center Board Case, the Ribs above the Ceiling Plank, and the Cutty Boards (Aft Top Deck). All of the parts were made from 1/64" x 1/64" strips and also 1/32" thick strips measured and cut from the 1/64" and 1/32" x 3" sheets since these size strips are not supplied in the kit. The Thwarts are 1/32" thick material. This boat will be completly fitted out before completing the remaining 4 boats which will only be duplicating this boat. All five boats will be completed and then the tools, harpoons, tubs, sail and mast, etc. will be added to each completed boat.

Managed to get the first boat finished today (6 more to go). It is one that will mount upside down on the Shelter Roof, so not much details other than on the exterior. this one has a blue stripe on the side. Each boat had a unique color so they could be easily identified and monitored from the ship as they were either catching or chasing a whale.

Managed to make a keel and one rail for one boat. Shaped the keel form from the proper size piece of wood, used the electric heat plank bender to form it, and glued it to a boat and then glued one rail on.
