kayakerlarry Posted July 1, 2020 Author Share #65 Posted July 1, 2020 Thanks, gentlemen! Keith, no worries...I still have two more builds to complete (Gull and Falcon) to round out the fleet of 4 boats the camp had until I purchased Flying Dutchmen Junior replacements in 1967. Besides, I just purchased custom cut glass for two cases so now I have no excuse not to continue! mtaylor and Roger Pellett 2 Quote Larry Current Build: New Bedford Whaleboat by Model Shipways scale 1:16 Completed Builds: Cape Cod Nimblet Knockabouts - Loon, Hawk, Gull and Falcon Howard W.

kayakerlarry Posted October 30, 2021 Author Share #77 Posted October 30, 2021 It's been a while since I updated this post so here is a brief summary of progress. First set of boats were presented at the 100th camp reunion in August along with a book of the history. Extremely well received (and emotional) and even had 10 orders for book. Have just had time to work on sails for remaining two boats and I think they came out reasonably well. Here are a few pictures with progress. I did a "mock" presentation the camp director and his wife early August so I could get the picture in the book (back cover below). We had a professional video photographer (he was a camp alum) document my presentation at reunion as well as many of the weekends events. Here is the cover of the book I also presented... And finally here are the two sails ready to be attached to mast and boom (haven't figured that one out yet). I soaked cloth (got from Bluejacket) in coffee, used Heat n Bond Ultrahold iron-on adhesive to hold in the bolt rope which surrounds the entire sail, used pencil to draw the sections on sail and then ironed on addition fabric for each of the corners and baton pockets. Reasonable facsimile.

kayakerlarry Posted October 30, 2021 Author Share #79 Posted October 30, 2021 Thanks for the support! I have two additional scale additions I may try out as well - I bought scale figures so will see if I can replicate a few of the "real" scenes with actual sailors and one of the folks who bought my book asked me where the bailing cans were! He remembers cut off plastic jugs, I remember old Maxwell coffee cans - will see what I can do for both...

kayakerlarry Posted November 6, 2021 Author Share #81 Posted November 6, 2021 Couple more pics of sail WIP. This is how I modeled the sail tracks that were attached to the sail and then slid onto the sail track attached to the mast/boom. Rather then trying to attach to sail and "slide" onto track I opted to attach to mast/boom first and then tie sail to tracks. Used 26 gauge silver wire bent so it would fit around the tracks and then drilled angled holes on each side of track with a #77 drill. Spacing on mast was determined by the third pic - they were 12" apart so I spaced them 1/2" apart at scale. All sail tracks installed on mast/boom mast on right only has 4 tracks. I am going to try to have sails on this model partially raised so only need ones to match height of raised sail. Ready to tie sail to sail track and attached at head, foot and outhaul thru bolt rope loops at three corners.

kayakerlarry Posted December 6, 2021 Author Share #83 Posted December 6, 2021 Third boat (Gull) complete. I used a small piece of 24 gauge silver wire to hold the mast out so it appears to be catching wind while sailing close hauled on port tack. Forgot to include painter line in first set but after looking at some old photos realized my mistake so now included. Once I determine how I want the sails to look (hoisting or furled) on last boat (Falcon) will begin final steps. If you look closely you can see the telltails on the two shrouds indicating a close haul tack.

kayakerlarry Posted January 1, 2022 Author Share #85 Posted January 1, 2022 Well as it is a new year it is time to wrap up my 100th reunion camp project with the completion of the last two boats - the Gull and Falcon. Finished with the two Maxwell House bailing cans yesterday and placed the completed models in the case. The rigging and set up of the sails was modeled on the two pictures - I did buy 1:24 scale people but in my wife's words - they looked freaky so opted to just leave natural. So here are a few of the final pictures including the final resting place on my bureau along side the plans of the Howard W. Middleton that was completed several years ago (see link below). I'll be back - probably get back to the New Bedford Whaleboat.
