Dr PS - Paul Schulze Posted January 10, 2020 Author #91 Posted January 10, 2020 I made two waifs using a visible red color. I painted some “sail” cloth and rolled them onto the poles. I forgot to mention the making of the hatchet in my last post. The waifs and hatchet can be seen in the following pictures. The last item in completing the Whaleboat was the sail. I was in a quandary whether to have a raised sail or a wrapped sail as shown on the kit box (see post #1). I decided on the latter as it will fit my display (to be shown later when completed) as well as the following pictures which I found on the internet (no source was found). My finished sail is shown below.

Dr PS - Paul Schulze Posted January 10, 2020 Author #92 Posted January 10, 2020 I have finally finished the New Bedford Whaleboat. In line with the pictures in my last post, I have mounted my whaleboat on a whale 🐋 The picture of whalers in a whaleboat on a whale with sail tucked away was excellent inspiration for my final display. Thanks for looking and for all your comments. This has been a fun build and one which added more to my skill and confidence bag. My next project will be Model Shipways Gatling Gun. tmj, sferoida, Duanelaker and 6 others 9 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
tmj Posted January 10, 2020 #93 Posted January 10, 2020 Take care in insuring that your whale has actually been properly 'saddle-broke' prior to blindly trusting it to give that beautiful 'whaleboat' a gentle ride! 😲 "Great Job!"

Museumvillage Posted April 22, 2020 #101 Posted April 22, 2020 Hi guys. I’m building the same model but I can’t figure out what to do for the Lance Tails. What were they? What were they used for? I’d like to make mine look authentic but to What?
Dr PS - Paul Schulze Posted July 15, 2020 Author #102 Posted July 15, 2020 Went back to my New Bedford Whaleboat and decided to raise the sail.
