Senior ole salt Posted June 17, 2015 #254 Posted June 17, 2015 looks good Bob. I feel like i'd like to miniaturizing my self and get next to that little stove. Or... at least sail aboard. SOS captainbob, GLakie and Omega1234 3 Quote 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.
captainbob Posted June 18, 2015 Author #255 Posted June 18, 2015 Yes Michael, it takes time. It took me four months to get set up after my last move and I don't have nearly as much as you have. So, Pete, Michael, SOS and all those who follow me, I have decided to build an "International Dragon Class". Click on it below under current build.

Walter Biles Posted June 26, 2015 #259 Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) Bob, I have a question. When you were laying the planks did it work better with the black paper to the inside of the curve or to the outside? I am curious if it made a difference. I was thinking if you saturated the paper first, the difference would have increased.

captainbob Posted June 27, 2015 Author #260 Posted June 27, 2015 Hi Walt, I glued the paper to the wood with a thin layer of Elmer’s White glue covering the surface of the wood. After cutting the strips I planked from the outside in with the paper towards the outside. I did not try the other way but I doubt there would be a difference. Lawrence, thanks for the complement.

Mirabell61 Posted June 27, 2015 #261 Posted June 27, 2015 Hi All, OK. So I played, had fun and finished this little boat. There's not much to say about what was done to finish. The sails were made and installed with the running rigging. In the last picture of the cockpit, notice the cam cleats. Now on to other boats.
