  1. Hello all! My name is Nemo, and I'm a complete newbie! I'll be honest, I wasn't really planning on posting a build log, hence why this is all going to be coming at once rather than staggered (which would have let me benefit from feedback as I went, but hey... you live, you learn) I've been a silent viewer on these forums for about a half year, getting tips and tricks, but I'm still not really sure how people feel about modding (/modifying) kits - especially when done by a complete newbie! I'm a first time ship builder, but the reason I wanted to make this ship is because I'm a writer who's just written a show about a crew of pirates. I set myself the goal of building their ship before the show comes out in the beginning of August, because woof don't deadlines help with everything. Essentially - because my characters are pirates - I had the idea that they sailed a customised Bermuda Sloop. I started with the HMS Sharke but took inspiration from other ships from the period, and wanted to play with some of the features the ship had (most significant was having a cabin instead of a second level deck). I know exactly where all my mistakes are (especially on the hull... planking even with guides sure is hell), and I'm sure as a ship it's not exactly accurate or sea-worthy, but I'm fairly proud of myself because of how completely incomprehensible the manual/diagrams in the kit were to me! I definitely would not have finished this (or any ship tbh) if I didn't have a passion for my characters, but now it's done I really miss fiddling with it! You'll also notice in the pictures that I made this ship in the smallest space in the world - a 50cm/50cm desktop, with no power tools - and in a rented flat (with sound limits!) so there was definitely some crudeness and thickness that I couldn't overcome with my little strips of sandpaper and using the back of a knife as a hammer... but hey, if you're also new I guess know that it is possible to make this ship with just some knives and files? Again, I wasn't going to post this, but I've noticed that there aren't any *complete* logs for building this kit on these forums, and while mine is definitely not *how you should do it* guide, it might give someone in the future some idea of what it looks like? Anyway! Excuses out of the way, here's my ship!
  2. So this is to be my first attempt at building a ship. I have not done anything like this before so the whole thing will be quite a learning experience i think! I have not started building yet (hopefully that will come this evening when the children are in bed) - but have spent some time staring at the instructions and *think* i get the general idea (time will tell). Anyway, this is what I have - so if you see some critical piece of equipment missing from the image please shout! (note - i do have glue - vitalbond aliphatic wood glue) but that did not make it into the photo!
  3. Hi everyone! I wanted to start a new topic dealing with a few weird kits I've found in my research which sort of look like they've been based on actual plans from some sort of archive yet I can't seem to find any concise evidence that they existed or are just made up by the kit companies. My thoughts are that a lot of these older kits were made by some ship builder decades ago and then sold to the kit companies who over time lost track of what plans they were based on. But I am convinced that for most of these listed some real set of plans existed, possibly for a generic unidentified ship since I have to imagine it being a lot easier to make a model based on a historical plan than just made up in ones head. So this forum is an attempt to try and determine which plans (if any) were used for these models as a basis. First up are two kits by Mantua HMS Sharke and HMS Shine. Sharke looks vaguely like the plan from the national maritime museum and Shine looks sort of like the armed Bermuda sloop yet has two masts.
