Marblhead construction
 
1 Attachment(s)
I am building an older model from Dumas the Bingo. I am not going to race her just used as a pleasure boat so I will add a lot of custom touches to the deck. Right now I am finishing the radio installation and joint the hull and deck. I will have to find parts for the railing and some other scale parts.

Is that a kit or plans contruction. A while ago I was looking for some plans or an old kit to make a wooden marblehead just for some fun but could not find anything.

All I have is the fiber glass hull the rest I am building as I go along. I do have the manual that came with the original kit. If you want a copy of that I can fax it to you. But remember it is a Dumas manual so not a lot of help.
I am ordering some aluminum tubing to build the mast, boom and jib for it.
There is a link in the next message to a site that has plans. Here is a copy of it.

Both covers are planked and finished. Starting on the deck planking. This will take a while.

The planking is done on the deck. Applied epoxy to the underside of the planks sticking over the edge so I can cut them with out splitting them.

The deck is done so is the painting. Made a new stand to be able to work on the boat. Mast is done and I am working on the rigging.
Now I am missing a shackle style turnbuckle. Anybody knows who would sell them. I would like to stay with the same design. If not I buy two and replace one on each side.
