Gil, I am happy to share some lobster boat photo's I am currently away from home and so it will be late in the week before I can send them. I am adding a link to Model Ship World, forums/build logs for kits.
Model Ship World :: View topic - NEW - Index of Build Logs For Kits - NEW
Here you will find build logs for two lobster boats. One from Midwest and one from Bluejacket. I thought you might find it interesting to see how the Bluejacket in particular goes together. I also thought as long as you are going for "more exact scale" you might consider a saysail. I saw them on a few "real boats" in the Penobscot Bay area.
Lastly what to do with the photos. Should I send to you via email?
Thanks for staying with this project.
More later in the week John
