Dr PS - Paul Schulze Posted July 14, 2019 Author #152 Posted July 14, 2019 Decided to make my own bucket. Glued small wood strips around suitable dowel then drilled most of dowel out of center. Prototype bucket would be 10 inches in diameter.

Dr PS - Paul Schulze Posted July 17, 2019 Author #159 Posted July 17, 2019 (edited) I want to thank everyone who looked in on this build as your comments and encouragements were greatly appreciated. I want to especially thank Arthur for his help as we both moved through this build. I also appreciate Chuck letting me use his friezes to replace the photo etches. This has been a fun and valuable learning journey for my first POB build. I want to encourage other beginners to try this boat or Chuck's Longboat as you can finish them in reasonable time and learn much. 😎 Edited July 17, 2019 by Dr PS - Paul Schulze JpR62, Sea Hoss and coxswain 3 Quote Paul Cutty Sark, Scientific Models (no build log) 18th Century Armed Longboat, Model Shipways Civil War Coffee Wagon and Limber, Model Shipways side project New Bedford Whaleboat, Model Shipways Civil War Gatling Gun, Model Shipways side project
xken Posted July 18, 2019 #160 Posted July 18, 2019 Paul, your build came out great! I really enjoyed seeing the alterations and detailing you did. I have always considered kits to be jumping off points for extra detailing. Keep up the great work and the next thing you know you will be scratch building.

Sea Hoss Posted July 18, 2019 #162 Posted July 18, 2019 I have one question Paul, I noticed that you had 3 swivel guns mounted on your boat along with the cannon. Where did you order the additional swivel from, MS ? Quote Current: Emma C.

Dr PS - Paul Schulze Posted July 18, 2019 Author #163 Posted July 18, 2019 Sea Hoss, that was from an extra kit that I had parted out.

Sea Hoss Posted July 18, 2019 #164 Posted July 18, 2019 Thanks for responding Paul, I searched all over, many swivel guns, none the same as I need! Wrote to MS jgarcia, for another, also when I got around to forming the cap rail, found they had included 1/32" sheet not 3/32" so it will not work. Don't really have a hobby store close by either so in my email to MS I also requested the proper sheet of 3/32. They are really good with fixing problems. Quote Current: Emma C.

Dr PS - Paul Schulze Posted July 18, 2019 Author #165 Posted July 18, 2019 Yes they are. I have the Kate Cory which had a badly milled solid hull which they just replaced. This probably will be my next build especially since it was given to me by my son-in-law. 😎 Quote Paul Cutty Sark, Scientific Models (no build log) 18th Century Armed Longboat, Model Shipways Civil War Coffee Wagon and Limber, Model Shipways side project New Bedford Whaleboat, Model Shipways Civil War Gatling Gun, Model Shipways side project
Tiger65 Posted July 20, 2019 #166 Posted July 20, 2019 Paul, great job! Following you and Arthur is a highly educational experience. I am not planning to make as many modifications as you made but your discussions of the basic build are most helpful. I continue to progress with my build and log. One step forward, one step back... However, you guys have certainly worked to reduce my number of necessary backward steps. Quote
Dr PS - Paul Schulze Posted July 21, 2019 Author #167 Posted July 21, 2019 Tiger, I’m glad others might be able to be of some value from our work. In the same way, I hope to benefit from others for my next build. That’s the real beauty of MSW logs - what goes around, comes around. I hope your build goes smoothly. 😎 Paul Quote Paul Cutty Sark, Scientific Models (no build log) 18th Century Armed Longboat, Model Shipways Civil War Coffee Wagon and Limber, Model Shipways side project New Bedford Whaleboat, Model Shipways Civil War Gatling Gun, Model Shipways side project
Arthur Wayne Posted July 23, 2019 #168 Posted July 23, 2019 Paul your model looks great! Impressive how quickly your build came together and how you personalized the build from the stock kit. I'm expecting you will have the Kate Cory half done by the time I get my own longboat finished up, and I'm looking forward to following along with that build as well.

Dr PS - Paul Schulze Posted July 23, 2019 Author #169 Posted July 23, 2019 Arthur, I have decided to put the KC on hold for now as I have decided to do the New Bedford Whaleboat. This is a POF build and should be fun and not take two plus years to complete. I am leaning toward projects which can be completed in a reasonable amount of time so that frustration with teadium does not set in. A near example of this was rigging the Cutty Sark model that I had from my younger years. It took a long time and involved a lot of repetitive actions. I wanted to finish it and bore through it all. A POF build should offer some new challenges and be instructive.
