This is a superb model all around!

I am now struggling with the cast boats and trying to decide how to paint the outer hulls of the whale boats. Your incorporating the outer surface of the splash strakes with the rubbing molding in the color scheme is the only solution that works with these castings, so I will emulate it. Congrats on the tholes. I am not sure how I will do these. Nice work!

I am wondering what size blocks you used when rigging your boats to their davits. I am thinking 1/8" size, but it could be 3/32". Thanks so much!

You are right. This is a very lovely model. Anyone who can come up with a model that looks this good from this kit deserves hearty congratulations. The fit and finish is truly excellent. I must improve in this area.

Thank you dvm27! Boat is displayed beside the model rather than on the skid beams so that the spar deck timber details especially the hanging and diagonal knees can be seen. The blue panels are canvas velcroed to the outside of the frames so that all glass can be installed at a later date if I change my mind.
