rjones726 Posted November 15, 2014 Share #61 Posted November 15, 2014 Kevin, Nice to see a fellow submariner building a Triton too. This is my first attempt as well. I'm working on my first frame and I've already had to remake two pieces. I'm sure there are more to come. As others have said there is a learning curve to this and we need to be patient...much easier said than done . Anyway have fun on your build. v/r, Rob mtaylor and Kevin 2 Current build : Triton cross section 1:48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruginmi Posted November 15, 2014 Share #62 Posted November 15, 2014 Sorry to hear about your troubles Kevin (but congrats on the new saw). I would suggest a scratch is not an all or nothing opportunity. Originally due to cost I did the Druid using basswood which is relatively cheep. Since starting I have no problems with the wood and have enjoyed the experience. Get a set of plans (maybe do a cross section from scratch when this experience is complete - even if the plans are of the whole ship). Just think of an opportunity that you like and go for it, even with basswood. It will help the confidence and skills before going onto a full masted hull.
