pete48 Posted November 17, 2013 Author #62 Posted November 17, 2013 I am still painting so not much to see. I did make a new rudder out of 3/32 stock so that it will have some shape to it. I have just about finished planking the third smack.

pete48 Posted November 19, 2013 Author #74 Posted November 19, 2013 First of all Thank you , Shawn , Cap'n'Bob ,Richard , Russ and Harvey for your kind words I am having alot of fun building these . Today on the kit build, I got the second coat of paint on the rudder and started making new cleats ( I dont care for the ones supplied with the kit) and on scratch build 1 I got the water line painted. In the meantime I took over an abandon ceramic building my wife Had, and it is now being used as a Masting area.

pete48 Posted November 20, 2013 Author #79 Posted November 20, 2013 Hi Pete in Portland I am making them out of 3/32 X 1/8 woodstock then shaping them to size. On the kit Build the Deck has been painted with 3 coats of sand color Badger Paint. All the other hardware and pieces have been painted or stained, so I can start finalizing this build. On the Scratch build, I was not happy with the water line so I repainted it.

pete48 Posted November 21, 2013 Author #82 Posted November 21, 2013 Today I got alot of work done on Scratch 1, I have brushed 3 coats of varnish on the hull ( it will probably take 2 more). I painted the cabin/cockpit coaming a flat white. I also made a new cockpit floor . On the Kit build I put 3 coats of varnish on the tiller and installed it. I also installed one of the cleats I made ( I used a gold leafing pen to get the color) Here are the resuilts capnharv2, JesseLee, cdogg and 2 others 5 Quote "may your sails be full of wind and the sun on your back" Current Builds : Future Builds : N.G Herreshoff 12 1/2 Scratch Build 3/4" = 1' - 0" Scale Completed Builds : Volvo 65 Farr Yacht Design Herreshoff Alerion Herreshoff Buzzards Bay 14 Volvo Open 70 Member : The Herreshoff Registry Montgomery Sailboat Owners Group Peter Kunst Sailboat Models http://www.herreshoffregistry.org/ http://www.msog.org/ http://www.facebook.com/Peter-Kunst-Sailboat-Models-1524464774524480/

pete48 Posted November 22, 2013 Author #86 Posted November 22, 2013 Today On the Kit build I have nearly completed the cockpit ( I just don't know about the fish hatches ) I have also installed the Bowsprit and cleat ( this is the best one I have made so far). I think the rudder will need one more coat of Grey. The boat is almost ready to go to the Masting shop.

pete48 Posted November 22, 2013 Author #87 Posted November 22, 2013 Most of the work today was done on Scratch 1 ( or Keel #1). At first, I was just going to do the standard kit version of the companoin way hatch. Then since I plan on starting a "Official scratch log" (Hopefully this weekend ) It would be best to build the companion way hatch correctly. I also did the cockpit area in a teak look.
