Thank You, Lawrence, Welcome aboard, I will be opening up the Sail loft and she will carry a Main and working Jib, I have not decided whether it will be self-tailing or not. BTW beautiful job on your African Queen
Thank You, Gerty,
Thank You, Piet, I think she may be the Crown Jewel of my fleet
Thank You, John, I originally saw the white on the Spreaders and Masthead in a WoodenBoat Article, " the bees knees" thats great. I hope she finishes strong
Best Regards,
Pete

Today, I started by sanding the Coamings, starting with 400 grit sandpaper and working my way up to 800 grit sandpaper. I then applied the third coat of varnish. IWith 4 coats of varnish on the Mast and Boom, I turned my attention to finishing the Mast by painting the Masthead and Spreaders white. Next will be to finish the Cockpit coamings and start making the Sails. Here are the results

We all live by the saying, “measure twice and cut once”. That should also go for research. Back on entry #117 I built the wheelhouse and thought it was good, and many of you agreed. Then more research. I found a picture of the Pequot showing paneling on the structures on the upper deck. After trying three or four methods of paneling I finally think I figured out how. Then I took these pictures. UUGH! I should be able to clean it up some, besides as everyone says, “pictures look worse than the real thing”. Anyway, here are the pictures.

Update
Build log part 31
( starting /making the winches, scale 1:144)
the winches will basicly be made of brass, the body framework is from stock 12 x 12 x1 mm squaretube. I have given up the idea of using real mini-toothwheels, and will use discs resembling the different toothwheel diameters instead.
On the slow spool shaft there will be the winding-line drum the brake drum and two spool cones outside the frame. The fast shaft will bear two spool cones as well.
The drive will be by two steam cylinders and crosshead, with crankshaft connection to the wheels outside on the "crankshaft"
Nils
this diagram comprises the main basic parts of the steam winch (there will be 6 in total)
frame with mounted large drum and brakewheel
12 x 12 x 1 mm brass squaretube and scale figure for size relation

I like the white trim on the mast, Pete. She's really going to look 'the bees knees' when she's finished.

Today, I finished making the Spars ( Mast and Boom ) I started by making 2 new spreaders ( I did not like how the first ones turned out ) I then drilled the hole's for the standing rigging and finalized the sanding. Next I installed the spreaders and Gooseneck. Next will be to apply the first coat of varnish and to varnish the Hull ( 3rd coat ) Here are the results

Today, After another coat of Varnish was applied to the Spars ( Mast and Boom ) I turned my attention to installing the Cockpit coamings. I started by finalizing the fit. I then made the brace that fits between the Coamings on the forward bulkhead. Next, I made the forward Coaming block, I ( once satisfied with the fit ) I installed the coamings brace and block. I then stained the block and brace cherry red. Next will be to varnish the Cockpit Coamings. Here are the results

Hi Nils, The prototype looks good, the wider strakes do stand out more than on the pre-cast lifeboat. I am sure whatever you choose will be Amazing
