Herreshoff Buzzards Bay 14' By pete48 - FINISHED - 3/4" = 1' scale - SMALL


Recommended Posts

Sweet looks look like polished glass.  The only problem you have now is that you will have to wear white gloves so you do not mar that beautiful finish.

Thank you Mark, I was pleased with how the planking turned out ( Planking is my favorite part of the build ) 

 

Thank you Patrick, 6 coats of varnish did the trick

 

Thank 's David B. , I will let the varnish set up a few days before I start handling it .

 

Best Regards,

Pete

The Varnish on the Hull is cured enough now to where I can get back to work , I made a new cockpit floor and detailed the rear deck. I used a birch ply for this and using a wide blade I cut groves in the deck and cockpit floor , since its a ply, if you cut through the first layer of the ply the glue before the second layer of the ply simulates the caulk. Nothing has been glued in at this stage.  Next will be to varnish the bulkheads in the cockpit. Here are the results

Today, I started by Staining the Cockpit Floor and rear Deck. Next I cut out the Cockpit Coamings and put them in rubbing alcohol.(Allowing them to soak for 3 hours ) I then installed the Cockpit floor Braces, and installed the Cockpit Floor. I then Bent the Coamings, and installed them. Next I started sanding them with 320 grit sandpaper. Next will be to get the coamings sanded up to 600 grit.( working my way up) Then will be to stain them and put 3 to 4 coats of Varnish. the rear deck has not been installed at this stage . Here are the results

After another early start, I was able to get 2 more coats on the Coamings and benches. I started by sanding the bright work with 320 grit sandpaper working my way up to 600 grit. the key is going slowly then applied a coat of Varnish ( Epifanes I recommend it ) waited 8 hours and sanded with 400 grit up to 600 grit, I then applied the second coat. I am pleased with the result and will decide in the morning weather another coat is needed. Here are the results

I would like to take it out on the lake after you rig it if I could fit in it.  Nicely done your finish is spot on.

Hi Pete

 

Now I'm really jealous!!! Seriously, what a beauty. I love the clinker hull, because it's got a character all of its own. I'm looking forward to 'launch day'.

 

Nice!!!

 

Cheers

I have a small update on the Herreshoff, The varnish has cured enough to handle her so I masked off the Cockpit Coamings and Hull , and gave her a light sanding with 600 grit sandpaper. I then brushed a coat of flat white to the Deck, The rear Deck has not been installed at this point. Next will be to get the trim package together and install. Here are the results

Thank you Cap'n'Bob , I hope so, she should look fantastic all dressed up and ready to go

 

Thank you Michael, I think Teak would look great on the Buzzards Bay , I am planning a 1 1/2" = 1' - 0" scale radio version ( the original drawings for the boat are in that scale ) and the teak would set her off nicely

Hi Pete

 

After seeing your hull, I suspect that you are secretly an expert piano maker who specialises in those super smooth and shiny piano finishes. Come on, admit it! We all want you to come clean.

 

Seriously though, beautifully done!

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

Hi Patrick, That's funny that you should say that , I have been accused of being a Piano builder a few times. I think that I have gotten a lot better at finishing , when I joined this forum ( MSW) finishing was the hardest part for me

Pete

Today, Rather than making the trim package, I decided today would be a great day to make the Mast and Boom. I started by tapering the Mast, next I gave it some shape and made the Spreaders. I then turned my attention to making the Boom. I then made the Gooseneck . I then installed the Spreaders and Gooseneck . I then drilled the holes for the Shrouds ( rigging ) and installed the eyes. I then applied a thin coat of Varnish. Next will be to paint the Spreaders white . Here are the results
