longshanks Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 Thanks for the support guys Part of the delay was waiting for one of these, a waterline marker A lot easier being able to draw waterlines on boat shapes Going with a mahogany finish in oils In complete contrast the start of Ebernezer the St Ives boat Really ??

robgizlu Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Lovely Mahogany finish going on there. and what a reminder seeing the crude "former" as how much work and skill it's all taken Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamiya Desert Sand XF59 used as base colour The oil paints were applied and then wiped off. Final finish done with a fan brush, a good invest me for those attempting wood grain (scale here to small for much effect) . Also very good for streaking washes when weathering Kev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boblag Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Bonjour everybody, My name is Bob, I'm French (nobody's perfect!) and I'm brand new on this forum. In fact, I'm here because I need you for a "Bonne Action"! Did you ear about Tally Ho, an Albert Strange yacht who won the Fastnet in 1927? She has been saved by a young guy of Bristol, Leo Goolden, who rebuild her near to Seattle (WA). You can find every thing here As I don't have enough money to make her a gift, I decided to build a pond yacht of her with 1920's technics, proposing Leo to sell it to make money...but he decide to keep it for him, what I approve too! Here is the result: Now, I would like to help another guy who is rebuilding a cornish lugger named Rosalind: but there is no plan of her and I can't find any on the web. Is there somebody here who could help me? Joyeux Noël or Merry Xmas!!! Bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longshanks Posted December 24, 2019 Author Share Posted December 24, 2019 Hi Bob, Welcome to the forum! Thank you for posting the link to the Sampson Boat Co. A truly beautiful boat. I now have something to keep me quiet over the Christmas period going through all of the video footage of the restoration. Your replica is also beautiful. Is there any chance you can post more pictures and perhaps details including scale. As to the Rosalind I will go through my references over the next few days and see what I can find Joyeux Noel Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boblag Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Hi Kev, Merry Xmas to you (and others "membres émérites" of this forum!) Happy to share this link with you! As you'll see, Leo is someone really gifted! In France, from Le Cid, a theater piece of Pierre Corneille, we used to say "La vertu n'attend pas le nombre des années" what means that sometimes, you can find someone remarkable and young! Is it possible for you to share the plan you worked on at the beginning of this topic? In wich book did you find it? Cordialement Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longshanks Posted December 29, 2019 Author Share Posted December 29, 2019 Hi Bob If you are interested in Luggers have you seen my build of a local boat? If you send me your email address by personal message I will send you the plans (Personal Message PM is at the top right of the page, click on envelope) Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
