pete48 Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share #153 Posted August 31, 2014 Today, Was one of those day's , that I did not feel like making parts for the VOLVO 70 , Keel # 5 had made the journey to the Boat shed, and Has been sitting on the shelf by my work Table.( so I look at it while I have Coffe ) The Hull had been coated with West System ( I did it at the time , that I did the Herreshoff Buzzards Bay 14 ftr. ) I started by Cutting out a piece of Birch ply for the Cabin top and another for the Cabin companion way wall. I then installed the Cabin Top and Companion wall, and Made the Rudder blade and installed it as well. Next I sanded the Deck, Coamings , Cabin top and Rudder Blade to 600 Grit Sandpaper. I then wanted to try this experiment wich is to see how a cut out Logo ( Paper ) would do if Epoxy was applied over it ( I choose a Loyd's certified logo and a small West System logo ) I first apllied them with Elmers white glue and applied epoxy over the top of it . I worked out great no ink bleed or seperations of any kind . ( this experiment will now be applied to future builds where this kind of application is needed) , So now Keel #5 has turned into a Shed model/ Test Boat , wich works for me. And as I am not going to do any more work to her, I will close this build log ( the other 2 boats were in a box that went to the Good Will 3 months ago) Don't Ask all I will say is that I was at fault. . So there will be no new Postings to this log , I will still respond to comments and questions . Here are the results from Keel # 5 mtaylor, IgorSky, The Sailor and 1 other 4 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...
captainbob Posted August 31, 2014 Share #154 Posted August 31, 2014 Nice job, but quite a contrast to the Volvo70. Bob Omega1234 1 Quote Every build is a learning experience.
