Year: 2012 Language: English Author: Chuck Passaro Genre: Guide Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 25 Description: Having recently designed the Model Shipways kit for an 18th century longboat, I wanted to follow up that project with something that would complement it. I wanted to create another small boat from the period as I find very enjoyable to build. Searching for inspiration, I came across some models for 18th century pinnacles. There were large 32 foot pinnacles and many smaller examples to look at. I was particularly fond of one model from the NMM in Greenwich. It was a model of a 21 foot long single banked pinnace from around 1750. It would make an excellent subject for this new project. It has a paneled interior and some decorative merits. I found an original draft that was almost identical to this small 4 oared pinnace. It didn’t take too long before I had a working set of plans that contained all of the parts for this model. At ¼” scale, a model of a 21 foot pinnace is not even six inches long. This would be very finicky to put together so I decided to double its size. I have scaled it up to ½” which should allow for more details as well.
Contents
It will be an interesting and fun kit to build and shouldn’t take longer than just a few weeks to build.
