Kevin Kenny Posted May 7, 2020 Author #169 Posted May 7, 2020 Thanks for all the kind comments. I replaced the stern davits with ones that are more to scale made from brass rod. i have framed the second lifeboat so we will see how that pops out of the mold. bruce d, FriedClams, GrandpaPhil and 5 others 8
Bob Cleek Posted May 7, 2020 #171 Posted May 7, 2020 She's certainly coming along nicely! The new davits are much better. The old ones wouldn't have allowed bringing the gig inboard up over the railing. Even now, though, it would be difficult to bring the gig inboard between the width between the davits, although that may just be a factor of the photograph's perspective. And happy birthday. My 70th was a few months ago. Kind of scary, isn't it? mtaylor 1

My 70th was a few months ago. Kind of scary, isn't it? Bob what is interesting is that the lifeboats were never designed to swing in. They were simply pulled up and let down. The back deck was covered with a canvas roof making it impossible to do so any way. This was a water taxi moving from bay to bay picking up and dropping people and freight in the life boats.

That occurred to me, but then I thought, "Naw, they'd never do that in open water. It'd be too cumbersome and "sloppy." However, if the boats were used regularly for shore access, it makes a lot of sense. It also occurred to me that if she were carrying a lot of passengers, would those two gigs be enough to carry them all?" Oh well, ours is not to reason why. I love vessels like these. They have such great character and detail to them. mtaylor 1

gsdpic Posted May 10, 2020 #177 Posted May 10, 2020 Excellent video, technique, and results on the life boats Kevin, thanks for taking the time to share. When I last worked on my America, I got a bit sidetracked trying to do a couple small boats to place on her deck. I was using a similar technique with a mold and holes drilled to hold the frames, though I had not thought to cut slots into the mold as you did. I probably started 4 or 5 of the little buggers before I completed one that I liked, then I decided it was too large. I am now working on another project but hope to get back to that one soon. mtaylor 1 - Gary Current Build: Bluejacket Friendship Sloop Completed Builds: Blue Jacket America 1/48th Annapolis Wherry Artesania Latina Sopwith Camel Fujimi Dino 246GT Tamiya Lotus 49 Tamiya Lotus 72D Tamiya Lotus 78 Tamiya Porsche 917 (x2) Revell Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2
