I don’t know how much room there is behind the last seat on the HHR but with proper support you should be able to angle it between the seat back and the hatch door. Bob

She’s really looking good. Love the ships boats floating in midair. And the stanchions around the stern. Fantastic. I find it difficult at twice that size. Bob

I understand wanting to make the boat smaller and less fragile for transport, but 44 oars? That’s a lot of assembly and disassembly just for a little time in the water. I would rather mount it on a large, 3 feet by 3 feet or so, board and figure out how to fit it into the vehicle. I know when I was sailing RC I wanted to be sailing, not putting the boat together. Even my one meter was transported with the sails up. Bob

convertion fraction to mm
captainbob replied to rafterrat_2005's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
To convert: Dimension in inches X 25.4 = mm Dimension in mm X .03937 = inches Bob -
Ah yes $1.3 million. But that’s just for the boat, then you have the supplies and fitting out expenses. Oh yes also a crew. I don’t think I could single hand her. As David said it’s a dream. If I sold everything I have, including the admiral, I might (might I say) be able to buy the ship’s wheel. Sigh. Bob

I was searching for a different boat when the new Ingomar came up. Thought you might like to see it. http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/2014/Herreshoff-Schooner-Ingomar-2612668/ME/United-States#.VB2VAfldXFE Bob

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
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. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
