Kevin Kenny Posted March 9, 2018 Author #35 Posted March 9, 2018 Thanks Gary For the last 4 months I have been busy rebuilding a real sailboat an SRMax and had to take time off from modeling. But am now back full time, these two models are much too long in the pipeline . Ryland Craze, zappto, bsaylor and 1 other 4 Quote

Kevin Kenny Posted March 13, 2018 Author #38 Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) I finished the capstan and the forward round skylight and am still struggling with the deck layout. I plan to follow the kit layout for the kit build but for the scratch build i want the deck layout to be as it would have been during the first race. So far i cant find definitive directions so have turned to the paintnigs of the time. I will include the ones that i am being guided by. I feel that the top of the Capstan was painted red. While the top moulding around the skylight was white. The forward grating would have been covered either with a canvas cover or with a wooden cover to keep the sea water out while crossing the Atlantic. Only one of the paintings shows a civered grating, all the other show a rather large structure like a second access point. I also see no cushions on the seat so will not show any. I any case they would never have been covered in black canvas. I will use blue or red for kit boat. Any input would be appreciated.

Kevin Kenny Posted March 19, 2018 Author #43 Posted March 19, 2018 The two different deck set ups. Now just trying to figuer out the foredeck layout. There is a hatch in some of the drawings although many of the historical artist seem to show a clean foredeck. druxey, coxswain, bsaylor and 1 other 4 Quote

Kevin Kenny Posted March 22, 2018 Author #45 Posted March 22, 2018 This is the kit layout of the boat based on the plan. hexnut, druxey, coxswain and 2 others 5 Quote
Kevin Kenny Posted March 22, 2018 Author #46 Posted March 22, 2018 This is the scratch built version of the kit. I am in touch with the Great Britton Trust who have 4 plans done, 2 by Campbell and 2 by Geisendorfer and am hoping they will agree to send me digital copies. The main change to the scratch built boat is the change of the grating to a second hatch opening. The bow also shows a access hatch. This is reflected in some of the historical paintaings while in others it is not shown. druxey, coxswain, bsaylor and 1 other 4 Quote
