    Sooo pretty!!! I love it! I wish I had countertops like that! And a big ole stainless 'fridge! and shiny sink stuff!

    Oh... the boat? It's freaking cool, too ;)

    I love this site; where else do you find people of the skill levels involved in our projects, giving away complete plans (even more, complete, tested patterns!), showing off the products of their R&D...

    I'm afraid I have to say that that photo is from cannonman. (We're nowhere so lucky as far as a kitchen goes at this end.) You'll have to ask him about the kitchen as that's not included in the plans as far as I know[:p].

    That's actually Jello no bake cheesecake.. and yes, it's awesome. We made it yesterday (5 minute prep time... gotta live that) - just have to add the cherry topping!!! mmmmmmmm [:p]



    I highly recommend this ship at this point.. the hull design work is excellent, and it goes together like a puzzle. Hopefully all of the mechanical components fit as well as the hull fit togeteher.


    I may never find out though.... I'm still trying to figure out how to pay for the kitchen, and the house it's attached to... [:(]

    I am still working on costing, machine access & availability for laser cut kits. I'll update in one of the threads about this boat when I know more. Of course, anyone with the required tools, time, and skill could use the templates already posted and make their own. [:)]

    The key to that picture is that if you give
    your wife a kitchen like that you can make
    as many boats as you want, that is the thread
    that should be running through your head...
    (check out the cherry pie filling as well
    as the jello, she she really does love him!

    Um, was that a double entendre in your pocket, or were you happy to see us?

    OK There are a whole lot of files there

    If we want to make a hull in 1/144 scale
    which ones do we need/want to use?

    Do we use the PDF ones(all or ones
    marked kit or??)

    Signed...Confused.....[:eek:)]

    In brief, you have a couple of options. All the revisions of the design are posted but if you'd like to keep it as straightforward as possible, download the .pdf files that have the greatest revision number (one sheet for the bow block, two sheets of ribs, one sheet with the aft deck/odd ribs/inter-deck connector, one with keels, and one with the foredeck). The "kit" files are the original revison and contain more information but have some quirks (since worked-out)that could cause some difficulty. It's still an ongoing project to work on making additional revisions as the time becomes available; The next set of templates for the hull should be easier to print (hopefully all using 8.5x11 and 8.5x14 sheets) and break-up some of the longer pieces into more managable sections.
