New Bedford Whaleboat c. 1850 -1870 / 1:16 Scale

by Model Shipways Plank-on-Frame Kit

From 1720 to 1920 nearly 60,000 whaleboats were consumed by the American whaling industry. With a useful life of no more than three years, whaleboats were discarded on the spot throughout the coastal U.S. and around the world. Remarkably, only a dozen or two have survived to become part of today's museum collections.

In 1916, the Dartmouth Historical Society commissioned the building of a half sized model of the bark LAGODA. Local whaleboat builder Joshua Delano was retained to build the seven half-sized model whaleboats needed for the project. Delano built these models according to the design of the full-sized boats he had built for the whaling industry for more than forty years.

Whaling historian Erik A.R. Ronnberg, Jr. made a thorough study of Delano s half-sized boats in order to produce this kit of a uniquely American working craft.

You'll follow the original plank-on-frame method of construction in building your Model Expo - kit. Hull planks, oar and paddle blades, tubs, casks and rudder are accurately laser cut basswood. Authentic scale whaling gear gives this kit remarkable detail. Photo-etched copper fittings include harpoon, lance and cutting spade heads, knife blades, oarlocks and mast hinge hardware.

My favorite for sublimation
My go to brand for sublimation, everytime. You can't go wrong. Great quality tumblers. They will hold ice longer than any other off brand I've tried. Rims won't leak as long as you have them on correctly.

I love this brand
I just started doing sublimation cups and would buy them at hobby lobby, but the market is saturated and they’re always out. So, I just bought a 4 pack from this company to try. They turned out great, I just don’t like metal straws, so I buy plastic ones separately. Then I went up to the 8 pack and again, wasn’t disappointed. They don’t sweat, the ice stays solid and the water stays cold overnight. I see sub cups and haven’t had anyone complain yet. They also sub really well. This is now my go-to company for sub cups.
