Construction Details
This model is a simple half hull model of an Ensign Classic The model is built at to an overall length of 25". The model is mounted on a mahogany mounting board.
Feb. 19, 10 - Earlier this week I finished scaling the lines for this model. Yesterday I cut out the backplane and laminated it with a layer of fiberglass cloth set in epoxy. Today I made up the station molds, glued them and the deck to the backplane, and put the waterline and shear planks on.
Feb. 20, 10 - Today I finished
planking the odel down to the waterline.
March 1, 10 - Over the last week I have finished planking the hull and building the rudder. I have also fiberglassed the transom and deck. The next step is to glass the hull proper.
March 19, 10 - Since my last update I have finished fiberglassing and filling/fairing the hull and have started finish painting. I also made up the mounting board and started varnishing it.
March 26, 10 - The model and the mounting board are now finished. As soon as I get the nameplate from the engraver I will ship the model to the client.
