    Dorade Omega1234 - FINISHED - yawl

    in - Build logs for subjects built 1901 - Present Day

    Posted

    Hi everyone. Ever since I first read about the famous Sparkman and Stevens' designed yawl (built over 80 yrs ago snd she's still racing), I've wanted to build a model of her. So, after thirty years of dreaming, I've now started to build a scratch built, miniature, fully detailed model, complete with interior accommodation, etc. The model is a true miniature, ie only 15 cms approx in hull length.

     

    As you can see, I have tried to adhere to full sized construction practices by using a built up keel and bent frames. All the wood was cut using my miniature table saw, which, is a lot of fun and satisfying, not to mention, cost effective.

     

    I still have a long way to go before I finish the masts, winches, blocks and rigging, but it's been a hell of a lotta fun so far.

     

    I hope you enjoy the model and photos. I will post more pics as work progresses.

     

    Comments, feedback and suggestions are most welcomed!
