1:16 Scale Armed Pinnace

What is the length of the model? There are samples of several pinnace drawings with scales at the bottom so you can figure the size of the rudder. The tiller might be a straight piece that goes through a hole in the rudder or sometimes the tiller has a hole so it slips over the rudder. See first photo below. There are a lot of pinnace drawings such as these few on the Wikicommons site in high resolution. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Ship_plans_of_the_Royal_Museums_Greenwich

Hi Allan, thanks very much for this.
I'm away on vacation at present. I'll get some measurements when I'm home. but I do know it's 1:16 scale. By the way your model looks wonderful.

Thanks Madagas but the photo above is the Medway long boat model at RMG. I WISH my models were that good. There are number of photos of this model at the RMG Collections website if you are interested. One of my own boats follows. Not in the same category as the masters of ye olde days but I am content.
