[MOC] Pilot Cutter "Lady Felicia"

Recommended Posts

It still boggles my mind to see how a builder manages to bend a line of plates.
The effect is definitely supreme.

A great cutter. A little bit "too modern" for me too fall in love with. But this is a great rendition of a pilot boat of the 19th century for sure !

After picking up one of the HP CMFs as an impulse buy, I found that it contained a couple parts that I just had to integrate into Lady F.  The torso from the little elf guy looked perfect for a 19th century pilot. The sprue that held his two keys together was just the right size to serve as an anchor for a small vessel.

I think the stem is a little too thin compared to the flukes, but it works better than any of the brick-built solutions I've tried.
