Great Tip on the Weld-On, Thanks
I also find some form of libation is very helpful when modeling.

Thank you for the kind words, the tubing is conduit for the wiring for the bow lite.

HI Chris F,
Funny you should ask.
It was the second attempt.
The first install was good to the first layer of planking.
When i tried to locate it from the final Mahogany planking, i couldn't locate it.
So, I had to re drill and reinstall the conduit.
(No cure for stupid.)
Yes, it is for the bow lite.
On the Typhoon, I had to install the wiring as an afterthought, ie between the two layers of planking. if the wiring fails I have no recourse.😂☹️

Hello Mates,
Sorry for the delay in posting.
Attached are some of the current build photos.
My biggest regret is that I did not up grade the planking to Honduras Mahogany (would have to be acquired aftermarket), instead of the supplied Philippine. The Boat is beautiful she deserves the best.
I have three other Dumas boat models that use a better grade of Mahogany. Typhoon, Commuter, Tripple Cockpit Barrel Back.
I have also decided to hinge the hatches as they would be in real life.

Planking the hull.
I did use my Fein for some of the sanding and for cutting the frames to the shear.
Most of the sanding i prefer to do by hand, as it gives me more control.
Epoxy application to the interior of the hull to provide waterproofing.

Thanks, Chugalone,
I do love that boat, especially the Walking Beam Steam engine that the original had.
I have been to Lake Winnipesaukee, many times and can only imagine her plying the waters.
I'm sure with your skills you would have no trouble building her.
Check out River Rat's Blog as he also built her, He did a great job!
I also added another picture and a video to Mt Washington in my Harbor

Started the Runabout.
Using my Lion Miter trimmer to cut the planks, and my block plane to
trim to the chine. Then a sanding block for the final fit.

Thankyou Mates for your very kind words!
I do have some fairing to do on the hull due to the addition of the added lead keel, which I will do in the spring. At that time i will post more pics.

Completed Pictures.
I had to add Lead Ballast to the keel to keep her from capsizing.
I posted a photo and a video of the steam engine operating, before it was installed.

Hi Ron,
I believe they still have the antique boat show in August at Clayton, NY.
Definitely worth seeing.

Hey Dave,
I am not particularly drawn to double enders. However, the Typhoon is an exception! As you said She is so sleek and beautiful that it is hard to take your eyes off her😍😍
She looks like she is going 70 mph standing still.
