pete48 Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share #121 Posted July 24, 2014 Hi Geoff, I had planned on doing a revised version once this one was finished, However in light of some new information ( regarding a different project ) I will be holding off on the rvised version for now Thank you Joe , I worked as a draftsman when I was in college, and this keeps me fresh for lofting full size boats ( and its fun ) Best Regards, Pete 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 July 24, 2014 Author Share #122 Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) Today, it was time to bring her to the finishing stage. I started by making the Tiller and finishing the Boom and Gaff. Next I finished the rudder by adding birch ply to both sides of the top, Creating the pocket for the Tiller. I then installed the Rudder ( I will stain the birch ply Cherry ) I then made the Brass hoop for the mast , and installed it . I then stepped the Mast and installed the standing rigging. Next will be to do all the running rigging, ( Halyards and sheets )She is almost finished . And BTW, Like I had mentioned to Geoff, I May do the revised version sometime in the future, Here are the results Edited July 24, 2014 by Pete48 Elmer Cornish, Piet, dgbot and 3 others 6 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...

Mark Pearse Posted July 27, 2014 Share #142 Posted July 27, 2014 Thank you, a lovely model of a lovely boat. A full keel (ballasted?) on such a small boat is still new to me, I'm not used to it - but it looks like they pack a lot into a small package. Very pretty design & lovel work. I have learned a lot that will help when I start something.
