In conclusion she took about 5 months to build, the Client was thrilled and said it looked even better when he saw it in person, She was a lot of fun to build

Once satisfied with the spars they were varnished as well * just a note: there were 4 to 5 coats of Epifanes varnish applied and sanded to 1500 grit sandpaper in between coats , then came the fitting out Sails blocks cleats, I should also point out that the Hull had 3 coats of paint wet sanded to 2000 grit sandpaper then buffed with 3M buffing compound then waxed

I know that this is kind of Backwards, Gallery first then a Revised Build log. To start I have had the drawings for this boat for over 25 years ( purchased thru WoodenBoat. ) so, when I was Approached to build the boat I jumped at the chance.The Boat was built bent ribs over molds just like the original. So I started by making the molds, the first shot is the clients boat

I am doing one coat of poly a day. Now on coat 4.
Meanwhile I have made a bit of progress on the winch.
The plan detail on the winch is basic and I also think its not very representative of the real thing.
Unfortunately the internet didn't come up with much additional information so I had to resort to a bit of intuition.
Because the winch is painted black I didn't have to bother much about the choice of materials so I used bits from my scrap box. One enhancement to the plan was the winch motor which now has a finned body - cut from a sprocket recovered from a dead printer. The fins do appear to be present on the original.
The winch has both rope and chain drives. I made these from hex section brass bar. The chain sprocket was simulated by drilling 6 radial holes using a centre drill and then filing a groove across the holes on the lathe (while rotating). The hex bar provided the reference surfaces for equi-spacing the radial holes.
The winch isn't anywhere near finished but its shaping up reasonably well.

Hi everyone
Thanks for all of your comments and Likes! Denis, thanks also for the info on Lepidoptera. I can see why they hold such fascination for you.
Tonight, I added the railings that sit amidships on the main deck. They're fiddly and I'm not sure that I've really done them justice, but at this scale, some compromises had to be made.
I've also added a bit more detail to the foscle.
I hope you like the photos.
All the best!
Cheers
Patrick
