Excellent Vaddoc!

It came together beautifully, your launch.

I get it that you were in a bit of a hurry to source a prop for your boat and had to take what you got in order to meet the launching day 😉

However, I think you might want to save up for a little bigger prop for next season to get a bit more drive through the tidal streams of your coastline.

Nevertheless a very nice looking model it is!

"unusual project" - you say... how's that for a cliffhanger 😄 Well, since you so handily linked your new build in your signatur I found you new project. Meet you there.

 

Keep it up!

Happy modelling!

Håkan

Many thanks to all for your kind words!

@Wintergreen I was hoping nobody would notice Hakan! Indeed my calculations were wildly wrong and a bit too late to correct - I had no more brass left and all were too firmly glued with CA. Not to worry though, Hercules will have a massive propeller which I can always make it a bit larger so between the two boats it averages out fine!

Current projects: 

 

Hercules Steam Tugboat - scratch build from half model lines

Tally Ho, scale 1:12 (maybe), as rebuilt by Leo

 

Completed projects: 

21' Fisherman's Launch - plans by Howard Chapelle

21' Yawl Longboat - plans from the National Maritime Museum 

Deben 5 tonner - a Whisstock yard design

24' exploration gaff rigged ketch - a Tad Roberts design

15' knockabout sailing boat

Yep, that'll do it 😂

Honestly, it was not ciritisicm, just an observation. Your launch is definitely a piece to admire wherever you place it. It looks gorgeous!

Happy modelling!

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
