Dave Brooks sends me an update on the model of Westmoreland currently being built by him self and his Father, Tony Brooks.

 

Westmoreland model now

‘Our’ SB Westmoreland model as at 1st Nov; Picture by Dave Brooks.

“With the 31st Oct passed and all holiday and family commitments completed,” he says, “we were back on with the model. Our rails were nicely glued down and positioned. A piece of veneer has been stuck over the transom in order to cover the end grain and give us a better painting surface.Also a stern post has been added in readiness to mount a rudder at a later stage. We have also completed the rails around the bow and the saddle chock and they are currently pinned and waiting for the glue to dry. Four tiny frames made from brass have been fashioned for our lee-board winches and offered up to the hull for sizing and look quite good. Cogs have been selected to finish them off later this week we hope.

The pictures show the rails all round, the lee-board winch frames are being drilled and also offered up to the hull”.
Thanks for that Dave and Tony. It’s looking good.
