seadog Posted April 10, 2019 Author Share Posted April 10, 2019 Been otherwise occupied for a bit... The base was carved out of 15mm Lime. Then gessoed fingerpaint style, which avoids brushmarks. Painted and varnished with artists acrylics. The bow wave and foamdown the sides will be done when the boat is mounted on the base. Got the glass cut for the case from the local framing guy in the village. Glass glued with silicone. Rather like building an upside down fish tank. Thanks for looking. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seadog Posted April 19, 2019 Author Share Posted April 19, 2019 Progressing... The boat is now attached to the base and I spent a good few hours creating the bow wave and wake with white milliput, gesso and acrylic paints. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertie McBoatface Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 This is very nicely presented. Rare to see a waterlined sailboat. Her hull shape reminds me of the Zulu class of bigger boats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seadog Posted November 5, 2022 Author Share Posted November 5, 2022 A descendent of this sort of thing. The Norwegians sold lots of them to the Islands - This one is an Oselvar Faering from a kit by Turk Modell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
