Day 46

Then next job im dreading is the stern hand rails. There are angles to be taken into consideration and soldering to do also. Because of the heat these cant be made on the model so a jig has to be made.

The model radius is greater than the drawing radius so I made a template.

Didn't turn out to bad, be better with a coat or two of paint.

I can already see the looks of awe and envy, once you finally take this thing out on the water...

Thanks Steve. The RNLI Life Boats are a real big thing over here and these unsung hero's who save a lot of lives at sea aren't as well recognised as they should be, however, for those that do they are great enthusiasts and look over these models with great envy especially as you say the club members or spectators that love the whole model boat thing. There aren't many of these models in clubs as you need the skill to build them as well as the cost involved. Im sure im correct in saying that for anyone who owns any type of RNLI boat it is the pride of their collection. This will be mine.

Cheers

I'm Canadian by birth, but Scottish/Dutch-German by heritage.

In I've been told my family has a "castle" in Greenock, but it was never much to brag about. I checked today, there are no castles specifically, just large "chateaux". Probably the same in the Scott clan case.

To which we were also a family of shipbuilders. One of the oldest in the country. Responsible for such hulls as "Mayflower" and "Cutty Sark". But your work faaaaaar superior to anything I could do today, much to the chagrin of my ancestors, I'm sure. :smiling3:

(On a side note, we also include as forebears Sir Walter Scott -I assume where I get my wordsmithery and bad monetary skills from- and Margaret Scott, the latter was executed on sept 22, 1692 in salem mass. for being a witch. Crazy stuff.
