Pride of Baltimore II by halituzun - Model Shipways - 1:64

Hello friends

This album will be my first real activity in forum.

Pride of Baltimore II will be my third finished ship model. I am planning to start a retrospective building blog of the model and reserve the very interesting and coincidental choice of this particular model.

It took 27 months of interesting, inspiring , exciting , stimulating and sometimes disappointing  building journey and as my primary goal was ' to finish it' due to my observation of the unfinished works of this model in the forum  , I am happy with the result. I am aware that  there are factual and manufactural mistakes probably you will notice easily, but there are also some parts which satisfied me a lot such as furled sails and deck planking and structures. 

The photos are taken with both Canon Eos 5DIII camera on tripod and iPhone 11 Pro (for unusual angles).

Apologies for language mistakes from native English speakers.

Hope you enjoy the photos.

Best regards

Beautiful model! I love the POB and this is one of the best models of her I have ever seen. Fantastic level of detail and the sails are incredibly realistic. I look forward to seeing your build log. Great job. Congratulations!

What a fantastic build halituzun! I am very impressed with your attention to detail!

 

The Pride of Baltimore II is the next build next on my bench. She will be the second plank on frame model that I've built, and since I felt that my first model came out only "okay" due to inexperience and shoddy instructions, I decided to look for any sort of build log or step-by-step instructions to help educate me on better modeling techniques and to see how "the pros" builds models.

 

I ran across the website Lauck Street Shipyard (www.lauckstreetshipyard.com) that sells a course on how to build this exact model. I downloaded a sample chapter from their website and was so impressed I purchased the course. The course is normally shipped as a set of CDs but having a newer computer I didn't have a CD reader. No problem as they were able to provide me the course via Dropbox!

Thanks for your comment Fuji. 
I assume  you are going to stratch build POB ( or is your mention ‘plank on frame’ a typo error ?) as the kit from Model Shipways is POB. If so you will free with the scale you choose and the choices especially with the deck structures throughout the build. 
I know Lauck Street Shipyard and have their free first chapter, but I was unable to receive any response from them when I tried to purchase the rest of the course. I read  some builds in the forum and builds by jdbondy, karleop and lester were very helpful indeed. Especially by jdbondy.

I am planning to post a retrospective build log and start in 7-10 days.

Best regards and have a nice day

Yes typo... POB. Not that adventurous to scratch build yet!

I reached out to Bob from Lauck Street Shipyard by asking a question regarding the media (CD) and through that correspondence I purchased the course and photos.

It’s OK

I did exactly as you did with the Lauck issue but was unfortunate to get a response ☹️🤔
