CAd My Fingers Posted July 28, 2014 Share #97 Posted July 28, 2014 Great finish work, Pete--you sold me on Epifanes! I just bought some of their varnish to try out on my build (will try a few coats of gloss for depth and then finish with matte since it's a working boat).

Omega1234 Posted July 28, 2014 Share #99 Posted July 28, 2014 Hey Pete! Really looks the part. All she needs now is the green and gold stripes... One thing that's really apparent from the photos of your hull, yet not immediately obvious, is just how deep the Vee of the hull is. I never realised that before. Great job and well done!

pete48 Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share #100 Posted July 28, 2014 Thanks Jay, Epifanes is Awesome varnish, sounds like a great plan, I am intrested to see how the Matte works for you , I have only used the gloss. You may sell me on the matte Hi Kieth , Thank you she need some touch up on the Keel . Hindsight is 20/20 , there is always somthing I would have liked to do differently. Like a larger scale and a complete boat wich could be put in the water and Sail. However this is the first Cup Boat that I have built Thanks Omega, the stripes are next , I am not sure yet how I am going to do the lettering on the transom, whats great about this boat was all the inovations that were introduced at the time. The next Americas Cup In Australia , Every one had a winged Keel , and look at the bow section of Stars & Stripes deep and sharp. it is a fascinating case study .

pete48 Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share #103 Posted July 28, 2014 To be honest , I could not live with with the Paint job on the Keel any longer, and first thing this morning, I went to work to fix it . After I got that squared away and was happy with it , I built a more fitting Cradle. from frames 4 & 9 on the plans I made a bow and stern section .Then I made a base with the correct spacing from frames 4 & 9 . when I put the boat in the cradle for the first time she fit like a glove . Here are the results.

pete48 Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share #104 Posted August 2, 2014 Today, was the day to finish up KA-6 "The Boxing Kangaroo" , unfortunatly, I was unable to find any waterslide decal paper, ( I will have to order it online for future projects ) so I went thru my old drafting supplies and found some letraset rub-on letters , I had just enough to put the name on the transom in the small letters and had larger for the cradle , I started by painting the Green stripe on the Hull and then adding the letters that I did have . This will conclude this build log , I will still answer questions and reply to comment's . I want to Thank you all for following along , the comments and the Likes , I thouroghly enjoyed building her , It was alot of fun .

Omega1234 Posted August 2, 2014 Share #109 Posted August 2, 2014 (edited) Very nice, Pete. The last photo just before the photo of the real KA6 in the water, is definitely my favourite. Shot from the stern quarter, it really shows off the depth of the hull and her beautiful lines. Ben Lexcen certainly created a winner in more ways than one when he designed her. Well done!
