Fright Posted March 27, 2020 Author Share #31 Posted March 27, 2020 I'm waiting for my 2.5mm sheaves to arrive so that I can begin with the rigging. I did a test fit with the mast and outriggers, try net boom and support ladder. They seem to fit and they look pretty good.

Fright Posted April 22, 2020 Author Share #37 Posted April 22, 2020 My sheaves and blocks arrived so I've started in on the rigging. Mast, boom and ladder now glued to the deck. I drilled a few holes into the mast and boom to accommodate the sheaves (I'm using them as my pulleys) and blocks. I realized that the boats probably used cables on the winches so I had to color the lighter thread that I had used with some Testors CreateFX Acrylic Flat Black Wash. I ordered (another wait) 2' of blackened 20 link per inch chain from Prescott Hobbies to use on the doors for the outriggers. My wife is printing out my American flag that will be flying next to Lt. Dan sitting atop of the boom. Here is my progress up to this point: hof00, lmagna, BenF89 and 9 others 12 Quote Robert O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm debating whether I should include the doors or not. The few photos that I can find on the Jenny looks like the film crew had them removed for filming purpose.

Fright Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share #43 Posted May 7, 2020 I have made a little more progress with my rigging. I finished adding the chain to the net doors and rigged them to the outrigger lines. I made an anchor using styrene sheet and cut up eye hooks and placed it on the bow. Next step is my netting. I'm dying the tulle using dark green and black mixture.

Fright Posted May 9, 2020 Author Share #47 Posted May 9, 2020 Popeye - I have Lt. Dan waiting in the wings. The Lt. and the American flag will go on last. I have already broken his arm once and I do not want to press my luck! As for the wheelchair, I have made two attempts at creating the wheelchair. 1st attempt I had both sides of wheelchair that I made from the straight ends of 2mm eye pins. I bent them in my vise. I then glued a thin piece of cut styrene for the seat. As I was trying to glue the backrest on, it broke apart. 2nd attempt I tried to solder some bent wire together but at this scale, my soldering left a lot to be desired. I'm still trying to figure out how to recreate the wheelchair. I looked online for 1:60 scale disabled people in hopes to find a wheelchair, but it seems they are not popular in the model world as of yet.

Fright Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share #56 Posted May 25, 2020 I have finally reached the end on my 'Jenny' build using Lindberg's 1:60 scale shrimp boat. Finished with all of my rigging. The netting is tulle that was dyed a dark green. I tied line around the netting and sowed the red 3mm beads (floats) to the seam (tickle chain) in the tulle. The netting is attached to the drag doors on each side of boat. Forest is at the helm in the stern section of the boat. Lt. Dan is sitting atop the boom holding on to his support rope. A big thanks goes out to my very talented wife, Chris, for creating Lt. Dan's wheelchair that is at the stern of boat. She makes jewelry, creepy dolls and castles. The boat's base is a fishing cage that is made from wooden sticks that were glued to a black sheet of styrene. This hides the coin battery and on/off switch. There is a 3mm LED light by Evans Design to illuminate the cabin. I plan on mounting the cage to a piece of stained wood for my base. I used a couple film stills as my reference on this build. That, and I have no idea how many times I watched the boat scenes from the movie. I feel that I have accomplished what I set out to build. I wish to thank my wife for her help and to everyone who has followed along and offered support and interest in this kit. Cheers and on to my next project!!!
