I finally was able to get some work done on the Volvo today. I started by closing in the cabin top and companionway , I then finished up the steering wheel for the Starboard side steering station ( and pinted it to match the Port side ). I then varnished over the logos , and painted the cabin top red and companionway white ( I will be putting a logo over the companionway entrance ) Here are the results

Hi Richard, Nice work , Looking good , nice Hull shape

Best Regards,

Pete

Hi Nils, Beautiful boat , Nice lines , I she the same length as Michael Mott's Cutter ? I as well love the Crusing sailboats, I have been working on a 24 foot double ender in 1/2" = 1' - 0" scale , she is 21 feet on deck and will have a 3 foot Bowsprit. she is based on the Bobert Perry designed Ta- shing Baba 30 as well as the pacific seacraft boats that Lyle Hess designed. I have been working on her, on and off for about 2 months. here is what she looks like as of today

Hi Tom , Nice job on the blocks , I like the set up you have with the boxes for your strip lumber , ( gret Idea)

Best Regards,

Pete

Looking good Joe, She's realy starting to come together , Nice work

Best Regards,

Pete

Hi Dave, She is lookig good, I have used the method that Nigel has described above , however I use a Hand drill ( I have detroyed too many models with power tools )

Best Regards,

Pete

Thanks Tom, I used a elmers white glue to attach the logos , I did a bunch of testing with different glues and the standard white glue worked best . ( unfortunatly it's not water proof , so varnishing over the logos should keep them waterproof.

Thanks Michael, its amazing how the Keel works like that, allowing you to keep maximum sail up ( someone made alot of money on that idea )

Best Regards,

Pete

hey Richard , Glad to see you back at it , Looks good

Best Regards,

Pete

Thanks Omega, I may add a few more logos , the logos do set her off nicly. I am pleased with how she is turning out

Thank you Geoff, she's getting close to rigging ( I may leave the furling system off this one , ( I am having some trouble with it, and have to re think the set up )

Best Regards,

Pete
