Hey Jim, you said you pulled out the blueprints for Mister Darby again. Have you decided to build it exactly like Dumas calls for or are you gonna add a little imagination to your work of art? Jens sent me more pictures of his Darby under construction that you will want to see.
 Here are a few.        Jim, let us know what you plan to do.

Guys, these notes are brilliant!. I love the pics too. I bought Mr Darby from Model Harbour a number of years ago now and am no where along the build that you guys are.
In fairness, I dont spend much time on it. The pics will certainly help me kick start it again. I stopped when it came to mounting the rudder shafts into the hull, as I wasnt really sure how I was going to line the boat up on the Horizontal plane, allowing me to set the Rudders vertical. The problem that I saw was that the horizontal markings on the shell of the hull were all slightly off horizontal. Thus not wanting to get it wrong I stopped. Help on this would be appreciated. Oh, being cheeky, I would love the plans for your stand! |
