Rum Runner / Glencoe 110' subchaser kitbash (1/74th)

(1/3) > >>

Story:
Thumbnail backstory: the wooden hulled 110' WW1 subchasers were sold off at auction in both East and West coast pots. Many were repurposed as "fishing boats" and/or rumrunners [think BOARDWALK EMPIRE] to bring booze in from the 12 mile line to the coastal lighters hidden in coves and such.

This is as far as I got before losing steam at some point during COVID.



Pre-COVID stopping point.
This is what they look like, factory fresh

Story:
I acquired two GLENCOE kits as scrap (art imitates life, once again) - one in brown plastic, the other in light blue.

IIRC, the brown is slated to be a water-line model.



Here's Steve Klein's interpretation  - I'm not sure if this is the GLENCOE or the DUMAS kit

That looks like a nice boat despite the kits age. The rum runner probably didn't need all the masts and rigging, either.

finsrin:
Most interesting.  Handful of these are in stash, like to see how they turn out.  Looking good at this point.  :smiley:
