Chesapeake 17 Kayak by kgstakes - FINISHED - Midwest Products - 1:12 scale

[kgstakes]

Well I had a little time today so I thought I would start on my next project.

 

 Not too far along but it’s a start.

Little further along this afternoon.

 

 Tomorrow carve the end blocks and attach them and then see how much time I have maybe start the top.

Sorry everyone I've been busy building and not taking photos of what I've done.

 

I have painted the hull and finish the "top" part and now gluing it all together.  Three glue ups (according to the directions) and I have the last part (side) glued up now.

 

Also, have the paddle finished.  Won't be long now and it will be completed.  A few touch ups after it's all done but the build has been going together quite well.

Nice little project and cool to boot.

Finished the Chesapeake 17 Kayak this morning.

 

i don’t know if anyone else has built this but i had a hard time with the buckles and actually gave up and used some buckles I had made for me for my 1/8 th scale stagecoach.

 

 Makes it look a little like a Santa Clause Kayak but hey I have buckles on the straps for the hatches.🤣🤣

 

Here are some pictures of the finished model.

Beautiful! Someday I have to break my kit out of the stash and build it.
