I have wanted to build a "tern" ( Three Mast Schooner ) for a long time and...... the time has arrived.
While I still haven't decided on a name for this vessel, here She is. The fore cabin has yet to be constructed in these shots, the model is being scratch built, plank on frame, and the hull and deck are 1:87 scale 1" X 8" planks.
Her length at the waterline is 88'
Length on deck is 96'
Length over-all ( tip of bowsprit to end of main boom ) is 132'
Beam is 36'
A closer look at the detail:
A little more progress..... fore cabin built and in place, and........ Paint.
There's still all the deck details, masts and spars, and then comes the "tedium".... RIGGING

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
