I'd certainly like to see the finished paint jobs on the boats. If you want, you can lash a mast/spar/rigging down onto the boats, as they would've had them, especially the larger ones. 

What do you mean by lash a spar?

 

they get tied down to the ship if that’s what you mean.

I’ll have to think about it, oars do sound good I just don’t have any included in the kit but I can certainly make some.

 

the second boat, a little bigger, came out much better. I used a different technique, gluing the hull as one piece before shaping it. I used a bench top drum sander and a dremel. I almost don’t need putty.

 

Just going to shape the third one and then paint them both.

One on the left is the smallest one which I made first. The middle and right one I made at once. 
 

The one on the left has its final coat and I’ll re-coat the other two tomorrow.

 

I’ll probably make some oars just for one of the boats with some scrap walnut as well.CD89D479-1FD1-4C65-8291-D1745C4E0060.thumb.jpeg.fdd54114835e0b91b494e93dcad61fb5.jpegA7BB08D0-B975-4207-8D9C-F91A1ABC1E61.thumb.jpeg.92aecffe05bd96d9834ca0541c7f0f76.jpegAD95EB39-6C77-43F4-8F58-EC7F290E45E4.thumb.jpeg.f63ff5c686dfd876857671a56abb8fb2.jpeg

Here they are, pretty happy with them actually. I used white spray paint first but wasn’t happy with the finish, it gave a glossy plastic look. So I gave them a coat of white acrylic.

 

I’m not sure about the oars, they seem a little big but when I put them next to the deck furniture they seem ok.

The boats all tied up and rigged to the ship. Unfortunately ccoyle, I super glued the oars to the boat and there was no way I could remove them without damaging the oars and the boat itself. I’ll just have to live with how I’ve made them.

Alright. Wonderful job on the boats. However, we need to go back and redo the rigging of the one on the aft. The rigging blocks (those wooden things with holes) should be tied to the brass eyebolts. Tie a thin line around the block, letting it sit in the groove that runs round the block. Make sure that the knot is on the top of the block, the face closest to where the holes are. Then, thread the line that holds the boat up through the holes in the block. This line should not go through the brass eyebolts. It's okay if you don't understand what's going on here. I will provide diagrams of rigging concepts.

Here are the photos and instructions.

It doesn’t seem complicated but I don’t have the smaller blocks, so how would you make this work with one block per line?

Yes. Add the hook to the block and put the hook in the eyebolt. Tie the beginning of the line to the end of the davits. The eyebolt on the davit is in a really horrible location, by the way. It should be at the very end of the davit, and a cleat should be where it currently is.

Ok, I hope this is somewhat right.

 

I tied it at the eye bolt on the end of the davit first, then I threaded it through the hole on the other end, through one of the holes on the block, back up through the hole and down into the second hole next to it, then I threaded it through the second hole on the block and finally back up and through the eyebolt on the part of the davit that sticks past the transom.

 

I put cleats where you said (where the red circle is.) If I have verified that this is correct I will then wrap the remaining line around the cleat.
