Twister Posted January 8, 2015 Share #32 Posted January 8, 2015 My goodness, that was quick, hull planked up in a week - so what are you going to be building next week...?!! You must be using a pretty fast setting glue, is it a PVA or something a little more exotic? Tremendous progress & I'm looking forward to seeing how she progresses.

captainbob Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share #36 Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) After a debate with myself as to whether or not to add the cabin details I decided I would. So here’s a start on the cabin. I’m building it as a separate unit. I plan to put a stove in the recess on the port and a sink in the shelf on the starboard. Now that I’ve told everyone I stand a better chance of doing it. Bob Edited January 13, 2015 by Cap'n'Bob pete48, Mahuna, mikegerber and 26 others 29 Quote Every build is a learning experience.

Omega1234 Posted January 13, 2015 Share #37 Posted January 13, 2015 Hi Bob She's looking amazing. I can't wait to see more photos of the interior. Will you have a partially open deck and cabin as well? Lastly, the last photo really shows off the beautiful lines of these types of hulls. Good luck with the rest of the build.

captainbob Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share #45 Posted January 14, 2015 Thank you all for not adding to the pressure. Carl, please no “thumb screws” I’ll be needing my thumbs. At first I was thinking of a removable top of the cabin to show off the insides but now I’m thinking I’ll do it like Omega did on his Mystic. There’s always that problem of showing as much of the insides as possible and yet still showing the lines and beauty of the boat. Omega and Nils both do a marvelous job of that and with help and suggestions from all my modeling friends, maybe I can come close.

Omega1234 Posted January 14, 2015 Share #46 Posted January 14, 2015 Hi Bob Thanks for the compliment, but you're right.

captainbob Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share #48 Posted January 21, 2015 Lawrence, Pete, thanks for the good words. I’ve been working on cabin details. A little stain, cabinet doors, laminate on the tops and a stove in the lined alcove. I made the stove out of brass. Sorry I should have taken pictures of the stove before I cleaned and painted it. Next I need to find some 1:48 scale vinyl for the mattresses. Then I can move on to the cockpit. More later.

captainbob Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share #54 Posted January 22, 2015 Patrick, John, Kevin, Popeye, Nils, and all you who hit the like button. Thanks for looking in and telling me you like what I am building. This is the third stove I built. First I tried to make it out of wood covered in foil, and it looked like wood covered in foil. Then I tried plastic, I’ve never made anything out of plastic. Still haven’t. For years I've kept telling myself, ‘If the prototype is wood make the model wood, if metal, make it metal’. So I ended up making it out of brass. Why didn’t I do that first? This is the first time I have tried the modular method and I like it. I’ll probably use it in other boats as well. Until next time.
