Thanks, guys. Arthur, I'll post quite a few more pictures when the 4 lifeboats are finished -- which will finish the model.

Gene you make beautiful models, but what I enjoy is your detailed explanations how you put them together, and what I enjoy even more is all the everyday things you get that are lying around the house goods that you create some unbelivables models from...you are a talented modeler Gene. My hats off to you sir...!

Thanks to everyone.

I used stuff that I find around the house mainly out of desperation. I can't afford the exotic woods and elaborate tools, so I make do with what I have. And it looks like things might get a bit worse -- I'm a retiree of the City of Detroit, which will shortly be under the leadership of an Emergency Manager (read "dictator"), who will undoubtedly be cutting pensions and medical benefits from retirees.

Unfortunately, the super-detailed plans provide no details whatsoever of the four lifeboats, only a side view outline and a top view outline. The vessel contains so much detail that I think the lifeboats should be detailed as well.

This is the first of four identical lifeboats. Detailed instructions for the method I used to build it will be appearing in a forthcoming issue of the MSB Journal. The boat has not yet been rigged to its davits.
