petehay Posted November 22, 2013 #94 Posted November 22, 2013 Could you post a close up of the cleat on the bowsprit? Pete in Portland pete48 1 Quote
russ Posted November 22, 2013 #95 Posted November 22, 2013 The scratch built companionway looks great. One of the great things about building large scale models of smaller vessels is that you can recreate a lot of interesting detail such as the framing of the hatchway. Very good work.

pete48 Posted November 23, 2013 Author #97 Posted November 23, 2013 Today all the work was done on the kit build. Starting with making the oar locks, I then decided that the cotter pins supplied with the kit are just too big,so I replaced them with "Earing bead landing" wich have nice small loops . On the sampson post I used a medium size paper clip instead of the brass wire and used a black sharpie . I also felt that the trim pieces were to small so I replaced them with 1/16 " square stock (that way theres some room to give it shape)here are the results shawn32671, DSiemens, 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/
russ Posted November 23, 2013 #98 Posted November 23, 2013 Pete: Beautiful details. I really like that trim piece around the deck. It has a good scale appearance. Excellent call on the size of it.

pete48 Posted November 24, 2013 Author #100 Posted November 24, 2013 Today on the Kit Build, alot of fitting out The fairleads and trail boards have been installed . I used 1/32 Birch Plywood for the trailboards. Most of the work was done in the masting shop I made up some better looking cleats for the mast and boom (I am starting to get better at making them) I also started making new blocks ( I dont care for the wire method that wrap around the blocks) I am using Black thread instead here are the results I will now probably get the boat finished next week ( I thought I could get it done this weekend) kuya, shawn32671 and DSiemens 3 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 24, 2013 Author #102 Posted November 24, 2013 As the excitement builds toward completion of the kit build, I stayed up till about 3am to get 4 coats of varnish on the toerail, fairleads and trailboards. (my Wife let me use the spare bedroom for the varnishing) So today I will start putting the finishing touches on her.

pete48 Posted November 25, 2013 Author #103 Posted November 25, 2013 Well I did ti, The Kit Build Is Complete, After my post this morning I went straight to work in the Masting Shop. Then I retrieved Keel #1 from the Fishing room (the spare bedroom) Over the course of 3 days (in between the kit Build) I managed to get 7 coats of varnish (sanding in between coats with 400 grit)here are the results 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 25, 2013 Author #104 Posted November 25, 2013 I realized this morning that Thanksgiving was this week , So I jumped on it and got the Kit build finished, I did change a few things, like the block location on the boom, The Main sheet should come from aft not over the top . I also used a fat paperclip for the traveler and used a sharpie on it . I added a moring line with a pancake on the end ( I learned how to do that here on M.S.W. ) here are the results shawn32671, cdogg, capnharv2 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/
