So a while back I gave him one of my stored kits. The Model Shipways Whale Boat. As time went by, he did a great job and it turned out beautiful. When I gave him the kit it came with stipulations.... I wanted the box and plans back in one piece so I could build it in the near future. So he gave what he didn't use back to me plus my plans and the building jig. Since he made his own jig. I have basswood which is what I am going to use. I found out the kit was missing parts. As for the building jig my buddy said some of the pieces where missing and the profile was way off. So I have some work to do. I bought this kit but never opened it. maybe I should of opened it many moons ago. Oh well! Let's get started shall we....  | ||

So I will need to use my personal stock to do this puppy, but it's gonna be fun. Just to walk away from the Hannah every now and then. But the Hannah is still top priority. | ||

Looks like you have been busy. I built this model several years ago. The "Whaleboat is a great little boat to build. You will have fun with it. Lot's of great details to add. One good book to reference is Willet D. Ansels: The Whaleboat, The study of design and construction from 1850-... Will be interested to see what you do with the build. I'll be watching. Enjoy! | ||
