russ Posted November 22, 2013 Share #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 Share #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 hexnut, 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/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete48 Posted November 24, 2013 Author Share #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/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete48 Posted November 24, 2013 Author Share #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 Share #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, popeye the sailor 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/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
