Cannon Fodder Posted February 12, 2014 Author #31 Posted February 12, 2014 Turns out the instructions sort of end with incomplete pictures once you get to the rigging part. The sail provided is too large by about and inch and I am researching rigging and will likely adopt some techniques from similar models and others build logs. Anyone know what this boat might have had given the period cleats versus a pinrail to secure line used to secure halyards and the like? Build in progress: Emma C.

Cannon Fodder Posted February 13, 2014 Author #32 Posted February 13, 2014 Photo update. Sail too big and some of the non committal rigging things. robin b 1 Build in progress: Emma C.

Senior ole salt Posted February 13, 2014 #33 Posted February 13, 2014 Sails looking good from where I sit. S.os New Bedford Whaleboat build. Kit by Model Shipways I've been making progress on my model and according to the instruction booklet I should be painting it, at least parts of it. Are acrylic's ok ? I did apply a sanding sealer. but I want to stain the untreated floor boards which are walnut. Thanks S.O.S.
DCooper Posted February 13, 2014 #34 Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) Yep. my sail was too big according to the plan too CF. In the end I'm not going to use it. I think it clutters up the look too much. But it is a shame because it could have been a nice addition. You could roll it and use it as stowed like I've seen on one other build. Really like what you have done and the stained timber is very nice. Dan Edited February 13, 2014 by DCooper
Cannon Fodder Posted February 18, 2014 Author #35 Posted February 18, 2014 Picture update, I got inspired my staring the Master and Commander books by Oneil. In there is a small modification so the lines don't foul on the tiller to control the mainsail. Bindy, robin b and DCooper 3 Build in progress: Emma C.

Bindy Posted February 18, 2014 #36 Posted February 18, 2014 I am glad you chose to use the sails after all (and sorry I can't be much help with your question about them). It is just a personal opinion of course, but I think sails really bring the ships to life, and your model is looking just great !! Completed Build: Bregante Il Leudo Merchant Launch - Mamoli - 1:72
Cannon Fodder Posted February 27, 2014 Author #37 Posted February 27, 2014 Thar she is waiting for her cleats to dry before I string up the sails to them. Spent the rest of the evening making a box to go in the boat. GrandpaPhil and Bindy 2 Build in progress: Emma C.

Cannon Fodder Posted January 31, 2016 Author #38 Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) Completed model, just looked and saw I hadn't posted the completion. I need to stain the oars, and maybe the base but I'm in no rush as I've moved onto the Swift and the Emma C Berry.
