palmerit Posted 21 hours ago Author #61 Posted 21 hours ago Argh. A mismatch between instructions and parts. The instructions describe and illustrate the ring bolts as double width cotter pins and have you drill a hole to accommodate that width. The actual parts are single width, so my holes are too wide. I could have tried bending over the end but instead I used some filler and superglue.

palmerit Posted 8 hours ago Author #63 Posted 8 hours ago Well, the Midwest Dory is finished. It was a nice easy build with just a few hiccups. Pretty different in a number of ways from the Model Shipways Dory, and not just in scale.

Different designers is probably the most significant difference. You have done this kit real justice, and the visual appeal of your little fleet is growing! palmerit 1 Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

Kenchington Posted 3 hours ago #66 Posted 3 hours ago Different prototypes too. The Model Shipways dory is a model of a longer, hence proportionately narrower and shallower, boat.
