    Hi Jacques, I have been using Model Shipways rigging plans for the Glad Tiding to help rig my sharpie because they are rigged similarly although the pinky is a bit larger vessel. Both are 40 some odd feet long and 1/24 scale. The Pinky also has wire standing rigging which scales to 3/8”. So 1/4” (.009”) wire for your 1/32 scale Lancha seems reasonable. Here’s a few pictures of the plans.

    Hi Gary, thank you for your comment. I appreciate it very much!

    Hi Jacques, I just stumbled across Javier Baron’s wordpress site. ( barcosbaron.wordpress.com ) . After scrolling through his “ Tecnicas de Construccion “ post I was reminded of your question about squaring. If you haven’t already been there it is worth the visit. The man is a genius

    Bill, congratulations on finishing your Revenue Cutter. She looks gorgeous!

    Hi Everyone. Thanks to all for your Comments and Likes. They are appreciated very much. The masts have been painted and the cleats attached. They are friction fitted into place and I don’t think that they will need to be glued. Once they were stepped I thought it would be a good time to mount the model on to the base. The base is a piece of 1/4” x 2 1/2” oak that was bought from Home Depot’s “ Hobby Department “. It was painted with Liquitex Basic Ivory Black. The stand offs are 1/16” brass rod covered with 3/32” brass tube cut to the appropriate length and then 1/8” aluminum tube was slid over that to give it a heavier look. I liked the look of the aluminum more than the brass for this boat. Don’t know if it’s a big concern but I did apply NoAlox between the brass and aluminum to prevent any possible reaction. The horse for the main sheet is made from 3/64” steel rod and the stops for the traveller ring are made from #22 ( think) steel wire that has the black coating burned off. I like it because it doesn’t need painting. Now comes the slow process of converting the blocks that I have to internally stropped. Hope to see you soon.

    Hi Dan, welcome to MSW. Dumas makes a 36’ ( kit #1258 ) and a 44’ (kit # 1203). I have never built a Dumas kit so I can’t give an opinion on them. Good luck with your search.

    Keith, congratulations on completing this marvelous project and on finding such a hard working crew!

    Chris, congratulations on finishing the Lobster Smack and the “Fleet”. The group shot is perfect. Beautifully done!

    The only thing I would add is that your Half Hull project turned out great using single 1/32” planking. Unless you can source 3/64” wood I think you would have to go with 1/32” as 1/16” may be a bit difficult to shape to your bulkheads. Nice companion shot with the Rancho!

    Jacques, congratulations on finishing the Peapod. The lobster trap is amazing!

    Hi Mike, good luck with your Round Stern! These are wonderful boats.

    Hi Chris, everything is looking great. The bowsprit turned out very nice!

    Jacques, I am very happy to see that you are continuing to scratch build these very interesting working boats. Great introduction. Good luck with this project!

    Hi knipster, welcome to MSW. This is a beautiful project you are about to start. The only thing I can think of regarding the planking showing would be that it may be difficult for it to remain consistent depending on the amount of sanding that is needed. If you head over to the new members section and introduce yourself you may get more responses to your questions. Good Luck!

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal.
