This very simple Billing Boats kit was a project I took on, specifically to illustrate how you can make a decent looking model from a simple kit, but building mostly straight from the box. It's certainly not my best work, as I followed most of the shortcuts shown in the instructions, plans, and kit photos.
I have to sake it does make a nice diversion if you're an experience modeler and need something simple to work on for a while, or if you're beginner trying to get a taste of ship modeling. Also, I've seen there's been some interest in the build, as there are those making micro RC boats from the kit.
When things open up again, I think I'll probably put this into our model club display case on board the Eureka at Hyde Street Pier.

Thanks! I agree. I originally was interested in model ship building because I was interested in galleons and then 18th C warships, but I have found that I really like small craft. It's especially fun thinking that this is something you might realistically be able to sail.

Very nice! It's great to see models of small craft being built.

first time seeing a carronade model, sure you've made all items from scrap because i think there are no kits from manufacturers. Simply awesome!
