michael mott Posted July 13, 2020 Share #32 Posted July 13, 2020 Kevin, your videos and explanations of the changes that you have made to correct the errors you pointed out were very informative. I have not watched all of them all the way through yet, but from watching all the way through the first one, I learned a lot, your casual and honest approach is so refreshing. I shall enjoy the rest of the videos at a leisurely pace. Thank you for taking the time to prepare them.

Kevin Kenny Posted July 13, 2020 Author Share #33 Posted July 13, 2020 If you want to control the height of the bow it is necessary to reduce the bow Plank width. We suggest that 2” be taken out of planks 3 and 4. The taper should start at the bow and go back 6 to 8’ G.L., FriedClams, mtaylor and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yvesvidal Posted July 16, 2020 Share #37 Posted July 16, 2020 Superb work Kevin and so realistic. Yes, Perseverance is what you need in this hobby.... and you obviously have plenty. Very interesting videos, too. I also like the non-common boats that you are building, as it provides us with a breath of fresh air from the period ships.

mtaylor Posted July 28, 2020 Share #47 Posted July 28, 2020 I was thinking the same thing as G.L. But also thought "he'd never actually put the model in a lake".... Yes, she looks that good.

Kevin Kenny Posted September 17, 2020 Author Share #48 Posted September 17, 2020 Working on the corrected model now. Its a pain, but you have to correct errors if the model you are building is portraying a historically accurate boat or ship.

allanyed Posted September 17, 2020 Share #49 Posted September 17, 2020 Kevin, I am enjoying your project and love your attitude about getting it right and your perseverance! BUT, I still think you could have found a small fruit tree or similar that you could have cut a small vee branch for the vee at the bow 😀 Allan mtaylor 1 Quote PLEASE take 30 SECONDS and sign up for the epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series.
