Joe, this has got to be one of the best Granado builds on MSW. IMHO that title used to belong to Glenn Barlow but I think this build surpasses even that one - awesome joinery and building skills, great creativity in presentation and color choices but the rigging is the clincher, great job all around!!

Just saw I'd lost my title as best Granado built 😄  I still like mine, but have to agree this is a great job (I realize I'm 5 years late posting, but I've been out of modeling for a long while.)

Thanks Glenn, much appreciated even in 2020!

I was looking for something a bit different for my next build, and most assuredly did not want to copper, having done so on my last three builds, so after much thought I have settled on the Caldercraft Granado. There are some nice builds of her going on her on MSW which have given me some great ideas and nice inspiration. 

 

The kit is very nice right out of the box, with decent looking wood, nice fittings and excellent plans and instructions. I have yet to decide how far I'm going to go with changes and alterations wood wise, but I have some time to decide on that. 

 

So...let's get started!

 

She's upright on her building board with rabbet and bearding line cut and the first few bulkheads installed. I'm glad we saved (my now teenaged sons') Legos!

 

Nothing too exciting yet...

 

 

 

Hello Joe,

 

I will start in few days the Granado. You log is very interesting.

I have one question. what the size of the rabbet 1x1mm or 2x2mm. Have you done the rabbet in the false keel or in the main keel ? is possible to have a detail of the rabbet that you have done

 

Thank you

 

François
