Well, I think it's about time I uploaded some photos of my build.
This will be my first boat, yeah I know, not really a good one to start with, but what the heck. So far I'm really enjoying it.
I also don't follow plans very well, I follow them, but not in the right order. If I need a break from something I'll move on to another part for a while then come back. Anyway, here's some photos.
No 1. I've installed the rudder tubes and have glued them in place.
No 2. Here I've glued on the bulwark liners and am adding the deck supports, pegs come in real handy for all sorts of things.
No 3. I decided to have a break and move on to the crane, it's what I was most looking forward to building. The plan is to motorize it.
No 4. I am replacing the plastic rod that was to be used for the pivot with brass rod. No real reason, just looks shiny.
No 5,6,7. Here's some shots of the jib head, I've replaced the white metal pulley's, with brass ones as they are so much better, since it will be working, they turn much easier.
Well, that's it for now. More to come soon.
