Right on Casey, I cant wait to see it , I just put the second coat of primer on my kit build. How is doing the mast and boom ? I have made 2 bowsprit's so far, its been difficult to get the proportions right. -

Hey Casey, I was actually thinking of planking the scratch build from the water line up with 1/4 " wide planks , with a gloss white hull, I may just put a varnish on the deck the way it is, and stain the cabin and cockpit coaming the same color as my Dragon, with a white cabin top . If you decide to build 2 Flattie's I would recomend tracing all the vital pieces from the kit ( I wish I would have done this) it will save time on the scatch build. Best Regards, Pete

Hey Pete in Portland, I had to cut them all by hand. I went through alot of no.11 exacto blades, and have some sore hands. It looks like we may have some good weather here so I can get the kit build Primered, Best Regards, Pete

I have not had good weather here to Primer the hull and then finish things top side. And after going back to the Chapelle Drawings I thought The Transon was still not right , Then I thought I would do a scratch build using a combination of the plans from the kit and the offset table from the Chapelle drawing . Using the instruction manual I got the lumber list, and off to Michaels I went, on the way stopped at Kinkos and made a copy of the blueprint, then I traced the frames from the kit and overlayed them on the Chapelle drawing and made the adjustments . Then after cutting out all the parts, I just built it the same as the kit . When I got to the transom it became apperent that I would have needed to add an extra half inch or so to the deck length. I also had to add an addtional 3 /32 to the transom to get it to fair properly and give the correct shape. Here are the results also you can compare between the kit and the drawing, (boat on the left is the kit) and its day 2 of the scratch build .

Hi Shawn, it looks really good nice job
-
I completly understand, I have a little over 20 hours into mine so far, and it will take a few more hours for fairing the frames and getting transom right. I think I can start planking on day 4. Yours looks sweet, Great colors, I like how you did the cabin top
-
Hey Casey, yes the hatch will open and the drop boards will be able to be lifted out. I used the Chapelle drawing of the boat to get the centerboard trunk then I capped it with mahogany the door was just a piece of mohogany with some trim (made from scrap) the cabin floor was made from the cabin part of the deck cut out here is a pic of Chapelle drawing it will also give you an idea of how the transom is suppose to look
-
It looks good, You have a great color scheme, Awesome work space, looks like you get alot of natural light in there
-
Here are some of the highlight's from day 2 of the build
-
Hey Casey, Sounds like you partied pretty hard. (right on) I am thinking of a paint scheme similar to the one in photo # 2 : you were right about the Transom for some reasom it does not go together quite right it should look like the transom in photo # 1 Best Regards, Pete
