Thanks, guys. I agree on the gold leaf, Jack. In daylight (from any angle), the carvings glitter and dance. -
Verily, ‘t hath been some time since me last posting … but Chuck didst prompt-eth me to do some digging and I didst manage to recover-eth some lithographs. What wit’ me limited carving skills, it took-eth many an attempt afore I were to have a full set of decorations for me barge. Fortunately, Chuck did provide two extra sets of carving blanks … and these were all eventually required to produce a full set. Unfortunately, as I didst mention, pictures of those appear to be lost to the annals of time (and NiCad battery life-spans). Fortunately, however, some later pictures DID survive … (The general viewing public shouldst be aware that the above carving is approximately 1inch by 1 inch, in real life) Next, an friend of mine (and the Barge’s eventual care-taker), helped with the gilding of my carvings, using actual gold-leaf … Whilst I still need to take and post some final shots of me Barge, I were to be most impressed with the eventual outcome, Chuck …

Hi Chuck, My Queen Anne barge was completed some time back. The final scrollwork was completed with gold-leaf, and actually looks quite striking. I did have final pictures, but they were lost in the Great Camera Tragedy of 2019 (the batteries went flat). The barge currently sits at a friend's house (the one known as Snoopy). I will endeavour to take some photographs the next time I visit and will post them here.

My non-existent sailing experience couldn't give you a definitive answer to your question, Nikiforos, but I do know that others who were building the Bounty launch at the same time that I was did mention adding a bowsprit and jib-sail to their kits. I can only imagine that there would have been many different rigs, depending upon design and usage, among other factors. Cathead opened up a discussion on the matter here, which you may find useful.

Good to see you back, Captain. Been a bit on the unwell side for a bit, but enjoying this community's work once again. Cheers.

Forge onwards, Niki. I believe that you can still turn this into a very acceptable little boat.
-
Thank you for making that clear, Dziadeczek ... I was very confused.

You'll be needing a tiny, tiny vacuum cleaner next, Patrick. (Or a tiny, French maid)

A teeny-tiny model boat inside a teeny-tiny model boat !! What a concept !! So, if Genesis is 1:300, then what's the scale of your gaff-rigged yacht ?? Keep up the great work, Patrick.
-
Oh !!!
-
Those are words that should be reserved for the really good builders here on MSW ... not myself. You are way too kind, Nikiforos. I thank you.
-
Plans, you say ??? What a concept !!
-
She looks magnificent, Matthias !! I love the mirrored baseboard - great idea.
-
Nah. Yours looks too good, CH. I think you would have to drop it a couple of times ... mebbe kick it against the wall some.

I just wish to point out that I have never read this thread, nor have I looked at any of the pictures. Whoever "liked" your posts using my log-in is a dirty rat. I'm going to hide now. Possibly in a mountain cabin. Or possibly somewhere else.
