ccoyle Posted June 11, 2020 Share #31 Posted June 11, 2020 Pretty sure they aren't brass treenails, but rather bolts for the clinker planks. But I agree -- they look amiss. I can't help but think that real bolts standing that proud would create significant drag. davyboy and Jim Rogers 2 Quote Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

I think if you buy the kit, you have to sign an agreement to do the treenails just like that.. 😀 VTHokiEE, vaddoc and Duanelaker 3 Quote Luck is just another word for good preparation. —MICHAEL ROSE Current builds: Rattlesnake (Scratch From MS Plans On Hold: HMS Resolution ( AKA Ferrett ) In the Gallery: Yacht Mary, Gretel, French Cannon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuglo Posted June 12, 2020 Share #33 Posted June 12, 2020 I anticipate this kit will live up to its promise and allow many to make the transition , if they wish, to scratch building. It certainly sets a new standard and if the price is as promised, give many hours of satisfaction at reasonable expense. mtaylor 1 Quote current build- Swan ,scratch on shelf,Rattlesnake, Alert semi scratch,Le Coureur,, Fubbs scratch completed: nostrum mare,victory(Corel), san felipe, sovereign of the seas, sicilian cargo boat ,royal yacht caroline, armed pinnace, charles morgan whaler, galilee boat, wappen von hamburg, la reale (Dusek), amerigo vespucci, oneida (semi scratch) diane, great harry-elizabethan galleon (semi scratch), agammemnon, hanna (scratch).19th cent. shipyard diorama (Constructo), picket boat, victory bow section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn’t they be flush? Remember the planking is clinker laid. They are not treenails, but representations of copper bolts and roves that secured the planking. You can see treenails which are the much smaller heads in-between the bolts.

vaddoc Posted June 12, 2020 Share #35 Posted June 12, 2020 This looks really nice, I never really felt attracted to kits previously but this is one I would be interested in building. I also do not like the rivets, far too much out of scale but this could be corrected. mtaylor 1 Quote Current projects: 21' Fisherman's Launch - plans by Howard Chapelle Completed projects: 21' Yawl Longboat - plans from the National Maritime Museum Deben 5 tonner - a Whisstock yard design 24' exploration gaff rigged ketch - a Tad Roberts design 15' knockabout sailing boat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
