ccoyle Posted October 26 #5 Posted October 26 Mike, you alone are responsible for over half the build logs of kits from this manufacturer we don't see every day, which I suppose makes you our resident expert on them. Whatever became of the box stern and the buy boat? Canute, Ryland Craze, JacquesCousteau and 2 others 5 Quote Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

Mike Collier Posted October 26 Author #6 Posted October 26 I did finish the boats. I didn’t finish the build logs because it just didn’t seem like any was following or looking at them since they not big four mast sailing ships. It just seems like that all everyone wants. But I should’ve finished them, sorry. Here’s pictures of the finished boats ccoyle, JacquesCousteau, Ryland Craze and 8 others 11 Quote
JacquesCousteau Posted October 26 #7 Posted October 26 Very cool! Nice job on the completed builds, and I'm looking forward to seeing following along on the new one. It's fascinating to see the variety of workboats from the Chesapeake, although I have to admit that I don't really know the difference between them all (box stern vs round stern, for example). thibaultron, Ryland Craze, Canute and 1 other 4 Quote Current Builds: Lake Chapala Canoa de Rancho (1:32) [Scratch]; Lancha Chilota Coasting Sloop (1:32) [Scratch]; Completed Kit Builds: Model Shipways Dory (1:24); NRG Half-Hull Planking Kit (1:48); Midwest Maine Peapod (1:14) [Kit] Completed Scratch Builds: Xochimilco Trajinera (1:32); Juana y José Cross Section (1:32)
Mike Collier Posted October 26 Author #8 Posted October 26 The only difference that I know about is the round stern can backup better, I’m sure there must be more reasons for the difference I’ll have to look up more about them. thibaultron, JacquesCousteau, Canute and 2 others 5 Quote

Some of us love humble workboats! If you wouldn't mind making a final post in each of those build logs, I can mark them 'finished' for you.
