James E. Tarantino Posted May 25, 2022 Share #1 Posted May 25, 2022 Hi, I’m looking for the plans or model kit that is the fishing boat at Hemingway used and called Pilar. Thanks Jimbo Keith Black 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPDDET Posted May 25, 2022 Share #2 Posted May 25, 2022 Don't know where to start with that one. If a kit doesn't exist you may have to do some heavy research to find out the make and model. Then see if plans can be obtained. Keith Black, Baker and mtaylor 3 Quote Current build: NRG Half Hull Previous build: MS Bluenose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPDDET Posted May 25, 2022 Share #5 Posted May 25, 2022 abordage.com sells built models for well over 1k. Wonder if they would sell the plans and for how much? Sure is a beautiful boat! mtaylor and Keith Black 2 Quote Current build: NRG Half Hull Previous build: MS Bluenose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Black Posted May 25, 2022 Share #6 Posted May 25, 2022 Jim, welcome to MSW. You might consider taking a kit with a hull that's close and bash into the Pilar. Modelers here frequently do that. mtaylor and CPDDET 2 Quote Current Builds: Wood Hull Screw Frigate USS Tennessee Decorative Carrack Warship Restoration, the Amelia Completed: Early Swift 1805 Model Restoration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Black Posted May 25, 2022 Share #7 Posted May 25, 2022 (edited) Here is a kit but currently out of stock. https://www.woodenmodelshipkit.com/product/614/ Or eBay. You might get it cheaper with 'Make Offer' https://www.ebay.com/itm/363779249370 Edited May 25, 2022 by Keith Black mtaylor 1 Quote Current Builds: Wood Hull Screw Frigate USS Tennessee Decorative Carrack Warship Restoration, the Amelia Completed: Early Swift 1805 Model Restoration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPDDET Posted May 25, 2022 Share #8 Posted May 25, 2022 Jim, don't know where you're located but, if your going to bash a kit, it would be great if you could find a current model and get lots of pictures.

ccoyle Posted May 25, 2022 Share #11 Posted May 25, 2022 Constructo used to make a kit for it. It might turn upon eBay.

mtaylor Posted May 26, 2022 Share #12 Posted May 26, 2022 Welcome to MSW. Have you done a search here for Pilar? There are some build logs and it's probable that someone still has the plans that they might let you have. I do suggest you introduce your self here and then make a post here for the plans: https://modelshipworld.com/forum/13-discussions-for-ships-plans-and-project-research-general-research-on-specific-vessels-and-ship-types/ Baker and Keith Black 2 Quote Mark "The shipwright is slow, but the wood is patient." - me Current Build: Past Builds: La Belle Poule 1765 - French Frigate from ANCRE plans - ON HOLD Triton Cross-Section NRG Hallf Hull Planking Kit HMS Sphinx 1775 - Vanguard Models - 1:64 Non-Ship Model: On hold, maybe forever: CH-53 Sikorsky - 1:48 - Revell - Completed Licorne - 1755 from Hahn Plans (Scratch) Version 2.0 (Abandoned) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPDDET Posted May 26, 2022 Share #13 Posted May 26, 2022 See the link I posted to birchbaysider build log of this boat.

CPDDET Posted May 26, 2022 Share #16 Posted May 26, 2022 I think Constructo is no longer in business. Web site is no longer available. I agree, Ebay might be your best bet. thibaultron and Keith Black 2 Quote Current build: NRG Half Hull Previous build: MS Bluenose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Black Posted May 26, 2022 Share #17 Posted May 26, 2022 (edited) These images stink but it's the best I can do, hopefully it helps.
