Cap'n Rat Fink Posted April 9, 2016 #1 Posted April 9, 2016 Hello All, I have started modeling again. It's not like I haven't had time. But have been wood working and bee box building. Having fun. But getting back to modeling now. I am getting back to my re-build of my Lady Kathrine, my Echo Cross Section, and now the Hannah. Been studying up on all the chapters Bob has supplied with the kit. It also included 2 cd's with very detailed pic's on the build. I am considering rigging the ship since I have all the info I need for the model. It will be given to my oldest daughter Victoria. The reason is simple. Her 2 very best friends are named Hannah. I will be getting very detail on my progress, because that is just my way. It is to help others, plus if someone sees I am doing something wrong, Please let me know. I will be starting the build board tomorrow. I will not be posting pictures as regularly as I use to, because my spare time goes in different directions with 3 kids at home. But i will post a lot of pictures and explanations of my build progress. Thanks for stopping by.... donfarr, mrshanks, GuntherMT and 8 others 11 Quote Thank You all...

mtaylor Posted April 12, 2016 #10 Posted April 12, 2016 You are off to a flying start, Mario. I find it interesting that the keel is laminated.

Cap'n Rat Fink Posted April 16, 2016 Author #16 Posted April 16, 2016 and a few more pictures..... The LLC Hannah is a very nice kit for the beginner POF modeler. I consider my skills to be able to handle a much more demanding POF model. But I needed something to get me going again since I have been away for so long. I am building the Echo Cross Section which I will complete soon. My only hold up is how I am going to display it. I plan on displaying it a different way. I am also building my own D. B. it will look a little different. I hope to update my build log on that one soon... cog, Elijah, dvm27 and 12 others 15 Quote Thank You all...

So I add my comments to the pic's so others can see what I am trying to say. thanks for your comment... Excellent explanations, Mario. I take it this an inverted build, ala the Hahn method? Canute it is right side up. not ala Hahn. But I do plan on doing one of those. Bob hunt turned it right side up as to not waste so much material... Not sure how I missed the start of your log, but i'm certainly following now. This model is on my bucket list, so I should pay attention! Keith this is a cool little semi scratch kit.

mtaylor Posted April 17, 2016 #23 Posted April 17, 2016 Interesting method of making a build board, Mario. I've not seen one like that made from multi-pieces of wood. Is that MDF for the build board? So this is both laser cut bits and CNC cut bits?

Cap'n Rat Fink Posted April 18, 2016 Author #27 Posted April 18, 2016 Interesting method of making a build board, Mario. I've not seen one like that made from multi-pieces of wood. Is that MDF for the build board? So this is both laser cut bits and CNC cut bits? Mark, It is mdf 1/4inch. Yes both on the cnc n laser. When I got the kit in the mail it came in a little box. Surprised me at first. I thought the B.B. was coming in another shipment. Then I saw it was in multiple pieces. But it is sturdy and holds the Keel nice and snug. Very interesting, Mario - she's coming along well. John Hi John, Thanks for stopping by. It's going to be fun! The transom support piece is a very nice addition to the building board. Should make installing those pesky transom timbers a breeze. Greg, Reading up on the chapter for the transom it will work pretty good. I'm a hoping. hey there Mario.....glad to see I saw your new build soon enough! so glad to see you back at the table very nice start to what looks like an interesting build.....looking forward in seeing more! hey Denis, Glad to be back.
