Fellow Shipwrights,

I found a fairly old MS Pilot Boat Phantom kit in my dad's basement and I thought I'd work on that after I finished my current build (Willie L. Bennett).  He clearly will never build it.

 

The issue is that he started carving the stern and thinning the bulwarks, but nothing else, and if the meager instructions give any indication (compared to the ones I can download on Model expo's site), I think he bought the kit before it included the templates to measure against the hull.

 

Does anyone who has built the Phantom still have the card stock hull templates that they are willing to part with?  I could always make my own, but wanted to check with the experts first.

 

Thank you,

 

Rob

Sorry, I don't have mine anymore. If you have the plans, you can make templates with them. Printed the station lines and made templates with those. You can see what I did in my build log in my signature.

Elijah,

Thank you for the quick response. I've been following your build log; you are doing a fantastic job on the Phantom. I saw on your profile that you are exactly 10 days younger than my son, Andrew. He is more interested in computers than wood, but I'm still working on him!!

 

If no one wants to give me their card stock templates, I will follow your advice and use the drawings to make my own.

I think Elijah nailed it - making a ser from the plans is probably your best option. I have the templates, but after cutting them out and using to fair the hull, rhey are a bit seasoned.

 

Send me a PM with your mailing address and I'll send them to you.

Tripp,

Thanks for the offer, but I got an error message when I tried to PM you.

 

Cheers,

Rob
