Rail and Tie Posted November 11, 2021 Share #1 Posted November 11, 2021 Thought I would share the prototype build of a 1912 West Coast work boat. In 1912-1915 she was owned by Clarence Wakeley, Vancouver BC. In 1918-1921 she was owned by Dolly Varden Shipping Co. Ltd., Victoria BC, and used to supply the Dolly Varden mine and railway. In 1926-1930 she was owned by Walter C. Hanson, Butedale BC. On July 10, 1930 she was destroyed by fire in Deep Cover, on the North Arm in Burrard Inlet, BC, Canada. This is a waterline kit made from Basswood, Polybak, and some 3D printed details. I will probably get around to releasing this as a kit and possibly another version in 1/4" scale (1:48) thibaultron, ccoyle, Canute and 1 other 4 Quote Darryl Jacobs Interaction Hobbies "I called to the other men that the sky was clearing, and then a moment later I realized that what I had seen was not a rift in the clouds but the white crest of an enormous wave."

Rail and Tie Posted November 11, 2021 Author Share #2 Posted November 11, 2021 The keel, bulkheads and floors are installed over the waterline hull base. The aft cabin wall is made up from layered basswood and ivory polybak, that has been lasercut and engraved. This makes for a very rigid structure to attach the hull panels and deck Here we are using a little weight to glue the deck to the hull and maintain the appropriate curvature.

Rail and Tie Posted November 11, 2021 Author Share #3 Posted November 11, 2021 (edited) The cabin walls are made from 1 piece of polybak and rolled to fit the slots in the deck. This makes for a nice tight fit . Spacers were added to keep the curvature of the cabin correct. Porthole rings are added to the outside of the sidewalls along with a frame doubler panel, framing each port hole. The aft Cockpit bench is installed, keeping the cabin sidewalls tightly in place. Perfect fit!

Rail and Tie Posted November 11, 2021 Author Share #4 Posted November 11, 2021 (edited) The wheelhouse aft wall is made from polybak which is engraved and then layered with the window frames, both inside and outside. The bench is crafted from polybak and basswood base. The skylight box is made from basswood and the skylights are added along with a phosphor bronze wire for the center hinge/seal. Fitted skylight into cutout in cabin roof.

Rail and Tie Posted November 11, 2021 Author Share #5 Posted November 11, 2021 The rest of the model went according to the original cad model and fit fine the first time. Simple rigging and some 3D printed parts like the original. mtaylor, thibaultron, yvesvidal and 3 others 6 Quote Darryl Jacobs Interaction Hobbies "I called to the other men that the sky was clearing, and then a moment later I realized that what I had seen was not a rift in the clouds but the white crest of an enormous wave."
