  1. Hey, I'm still going through the plethora of options I have as an absolute beginner, trying to decide which kit to select as my first one and I noticed some of Amati's models are also available with polystyrene pre-build hulls. Now, since I personally find the hull planking the most intimidating part of this whole journey, I was wondering if there are more options to this? Anything in the 40-80cm range? It appears that the larger the scale, the more common this becomes but the higher the price, as well. My guess is that these kits are geared towards RC conversions. Thank you! Cristian
  2. Hi to All, I’m building the Amati Pegasus and this is my first serious model that I’m trying to build. I have finished the first part and now I’m coppering the hull, but i have substitute the standard furniture included in the kit with a most detailed plates. Because they are ticker I have found difficulties to proper cut them with the right tool , and in all my research I was not able to find tool or technics than allow me to have a sharp cut line. so i ask your help to solve this first important issue. thank you and have a nice Sunday Gabriele
  3. Hello everyone! I am asking another favour. I am painting the hull and i am how do i paint the lines on it. Do you have a special techniche/homemade machine that will at least mark the lines straight? I am looking at this post right here: And i am wondering how does he know at what height to start and end the line. Thank you in advance!
  4. Any thoughts on copper plates vs copper tape on hulls? I'm finding copper plating my HMS Vanguard going very slowly and not especially exciting. While I'm sure everyone would say the plates are more accurate and show better, I'm considering plating one side and taping the other. It will be displayed in such a way only one side can be seen, so that's not an issue. Part of my question is how well the tape conforms to the curves and bends of the hull (without kinking), how well it adheres, and how easy and fast it goes on compared the the tedious work of the individaul plates? Does using a ponce wheel come help (the Vanguard plates are only embossed, not actually engraved)? I realize this is copping out to a large degree, but its not a part of the process I enjoy, I want to make it back to the wood and decks sometime before I get old
  5. Hey guys - I'm on my second try of hull color for my first build, the Smuggler. The manual says to use 50:50 Floquil Boxcar Red and Roof Brown. In looking for a flat reddish brown enamel I came across True North's Flat Royal Navy Hull Red. After looking at it for a few days, I'm thinking it's too orange. Any thoughts? The topside color is Flat Euro Dark Green.
  6. What techniques and tools do you use to fair your bulkheads for planking?
  7. Dear all I would be very grateful for a bit of advice. I am building a boat that has carvel planking with 42 steam bend ribs each side. Initially during building there are some plywood frames that hold the shape until they are replaced by the ribs. I have installed almost all the ribs and only 2 temp frames remain in place. I was advised as a precaution to have some cross-spalls to avoid hull deformity and I installed a few. However, I noticed today that the sheer plank has deformed and is now a bit wavy. The photos show that in the gaps between the cross spalls and frames, the ribs are pushing the sheer plank outwards. The photos exaggerate the deformity due to lence and distance issues but it is there.It took a few days for this deformity to develop. In the plans, the next step would be to install a stringer low in the bilge and a beam self. However, I still need to do some work in the interior (sanding, floors, mast step etc). Also I need to first remove the remaining two frames which will probably lead to more deformity. 1. What will happen if I remove all frames and braces? Will the sheer plank short it self out with minimal overall deformity or will it massively deform? 2. Should I put even more braces and pul the sheer back into shape and then install the stringer and beam self? But then I will loose all access to interior. Still the beam self should add a lot of rigidity to the sheer. 3. I this what happens with all steam bend ribbed hulls? Any advice would be greatly appreciated as these are uncharted waters for me Regards Vaddoc
  8. Hi everyone - I am relatively new to ship building and have run into a problem/question. I am building Artesania Latina HMS Bounty Jolly Boat and am confused how to incorporate the Keel. I've attached some pictures of my progress. I have already decided that I will do a second layer of planking and therefore decided to use some putty to fill in some gaps in the planking rather than additional small pieces of wood. As I was sanding down the bow, I decided to test the fit of the keel piece and noticed that the inner curve of the keel does not match the curve of the hull-- at all! Since I already was going to second plank, should i fill this huge gap with putty? should I do something else? I am really confused and would love some guidance. Thanks, Erin
  9. Hi hopefully someone can help. I have just about finished building the Amati Oseberg Viking ship and am not sure what to use to finish it. I was thinking of staining the hull and deck with an light oak stain. Could someone help as I do not want to ruin the finish after taking so long to build it. Thanks Steve
  10. Hello "crew"! Dealing with early colliers/coasters I collidated with the question of the thickness of iron (NOT steel) plates - revited on the formers to form the hull. As I'm building in 1/36 I'm forced to give them the very exact and right dimensions... this is the source of my outlandish question. The surviving coasters (S/S Robin, S/S VIC 32, S/S John Oxley or S/S Sir Walter Scott) are all steel hulled - so these information is not very helpfull to me. About the sailing ship iron hull building is said for the 1860s: "The earliest iron hull plates were very small by today's standards, no more than 6 ft by 2 ft 6 in. by approximately 3/4 to 7/8 in. thick, and with about 18 in. frame spacing." Do you know anything about the newcastle iron plates measurements used for steamers in the first half of the 70th? Here a drawing from mcjazz.f2s.com :
  11. Anyone able to give advice for the best paint for painting the copper sheathing on my Airfix HMS Victory? It's already got a coat of Tamiya paint but I'm not too happy with the colour. Thanks
  12. I just picked up an older Kate Cory kit from Model Shipways. The only thing I see missing so far is the hull templates. I was hoping someone had a set they could share. it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
  13. I am working on my first boat. A Mamoli Constitution. Does anyone have any advice as to how to position and drill the hole to put the cathead through? I have reviewed all the plans, looked at the photos, and reviewed the angles in Marquardt's "The Anatomy of a 44 Gun Frigate". It just makes me really nervous to drill holes through the hull. I know it has to be done, I just want to make sure I do it correctly to minimize issues. Once I have correctly located the hole, what is the best procedure to actually drill the hole. I have everything from a hand drill to a floor standing drill press. That or I could use the Foredom rotary tool. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks Bill
  14. Hey All, I hope that there is some advice for me out there to salvage this build. Currently I am working on the USS America from the Constructo company. The instructions are fairly vague, probably not made for the amateur. Well now I have glued and nailed the deck plywood to the frames and keel as the directions have shown and I noticed that the last three frames are out of alignment. They are square with the rest of the frames and the keel but for some reason there is a twist in the deck. Any help out there would be greatly appreciated. Nate
