James E. Tarantino Posted May 25, 2022 #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
CPDDET Posted May 25, 2022 #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. Baker, Keith Black and mtaylor 3 Current build: Hemingway's Pilar Previous build: NRG Half Hull Previous build: MS Bluenose

CPDDET Posted May 25, 2022 #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! Keith Black and mtaylor 2 Current build: Hemingway's Pilar Previous build: NRG Half Hull Previous build: MS Bluenose
Keith Black Posted May 25, 2022 #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.

CPDDET Posted May 25, 2022 #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. mtaylor and Keith Black 2 Current build: Hemingway's Pilar Previous build: NRG Half Hull Previous build: MS Bluenose

ccoyle Posted May 25, 2022 #11 Posted May 25, 2022 Constructo used to make a kit for it. It might turn upon eBay. Baker, Keith Black and mtaylor 3 Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk. - Tuco Current builds: Brigantine Phoenix
mtaylor Posted May 26, 2022 #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 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)
CPDDET Posted May 26, 2022 #13 Posted May 26, 2022 See the link I posted to birchbaysider build log of this boat. Perhaps he still has the plans? Keith Black and mtaylor 2 Current build: Hemingway's Pilar Previous build: NRG Half Hull Previous build: MS Bluenose

thibaultron Posted May 26, 2022 #15 Posted May 26, 2022 Opps, that one is out of stock too, sorry. Maybe try Ebay? lmagna and Keith Black 2 Ron Thibault
CPDDET Posted May 26, 2022 #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 Current build: Hemingway's Pilar Previous build: NRG Half Hull Previous build: MS Bluenose
Keith Black Posted May 26, 2022 #17 Posted May 26, 2022 (edited) These images stink but it's the best I can do, hopefully it helps.
