texxn5 got a reaction from Kevin in Charles W Morgan by texxn5 - FINISHED - Model Shipways - 1:64
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.

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.

That's a fine looking whaleboat John. Are you planning to leave them "bright" with just stain, and/or varnish, or painting the interior?
Side note: made the decision to commit and start saving for that mill. I'll have it by the first week in Nov. Proxxon doesn't make a tilt-table for their divider do they? Might have to make one.

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.

Hello BE, thanks for stopping by. Greatly appreciate the comments. The Niagra was fun to visit especially since it will probably be my next build. I got some good photos (about 400)of the Morgan a couple of weeks ago, but internet restrictions have prevented me from uploading them to my website yet. The whaleboat technique luckily worked out good. Hopefully will be detailing them now that the hulls are completed.

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.
