Hemingway's Pilar kit

[Grex110]

Working on the forward cabin hatch and installed the fighting chair. I decided to use my scratch built one, (because I clear coated, with high gloss, the kit version chair and decided I didn’t like it) I prefer the matte finish.

Hello all .. On the shelf I have the Winchelsea, Swan class Echo complete with,four David Antscherl;s books, presently working on a cross section 1/48 Victory in pear, and the Solano train ferry in 1/160 scale,, The last thing I needed was another project,but bought the PILAR. I am building it in 1/18 scale with wood and fittings upgrades, Plan to get Ernie reincarnated by Herb;s figures.. Glad there is so much interest in this boat. Anyone who is interested in my previous builds, can view my video done at our local Art center. It is in the international shows thread on SOS. Thanks again to Jimsky for taking the time to post it. I;m a technomoron, so that was greatly appreciated. I also donated two ships for auction. Proceeds to Downtown Art Cellar for their THRIVE project.. Maybe do a ship build seminar next summer as there is some interest. Happy shipbuilding! John Coryea ( Manning16)
