Rattlesnake by Malas@1 - Solid Hull

[Malas@1]

After over 35 years I decided that I would attempt to complete the solid hull kit that I had started back then being I am stuck in the house due to the coronavirus. luckily I still had the original box with most of the parts and two drawings and a 5 page instruction manual. most of the work to the hull had been completed but I still had to do the rigging and mount the yards to the masts. One of the things I am missing is the longboat that came with the kit. Can anyone tell me what scale the sold hull version of the Rattlesnake is so I can see if I can get a longboat in the right scale?  If not there is a drawing on it on the rigging plan put I'm not sure I have the skill to make one from scratch.

 

One last question I have most of the standing rigging done and I am almost ready to attach the yards to the mast  but the rigging plan  does show were a lot of the lines on the running rigging go what do you recommend that would help me figure this out?

 

Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi!

 

I presume you are asking about the old Model Shipways kit? It's in 3/16" scale, or 1/64. BTW, check out the ship's boat kits from Master Korabel -- they are in 1/72 scale, but one of them may be an appropriate size for you.

ModelExpo sells the Rattlesnake plans for $35..  They should have more information than the older version, since it sounds like your rigging guide is incomplete.

 

The also have the Master Korabel Long Boat kits
