That was my first wooden model. It is nice kit and very instructive. If you like to see, my Mare Nostrum is in the gallery: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/gallery/album/364-al-mare-nostrum/ Hope it gives you some tips. I also built the interiors. Have fun.

Hi Drag,

 

funny little ship - but a good scale. 1:35 makes it possible to take it on a set of diorama as this scale is very popular. You can build ab a small harbor scene with vehhicle, people and a lot of stuff. Could be a very nice littel challenge in between

 

BTW was to Kamloops last year (with the Rocky Mountaineer) Had a few extreme good tasting beers in a craftsman brewery... Very nice place there and the landscape is amazing

 

Best wishes

hello magg welcome to my build log this is just a side build as iam working on hms victory some time u just a break so this will fun to build. as far .Rocky Mountaineer) i hop-e u hade a great time on there as there is some great poeple u can meet yes its great here where i live sunny and hot in the summer

 

 

 

hello pajulahti welcome to my build log  i will take a look at your log thank u for the tip

[JPett]

Ahoy Dragzz  

 

I think this is a very good idea. Planking your Victory will be a major undertaking. Having never planked a ship before this might be an easier introduction and any experience gained here will only make your Vic better. 

 

 

Smart move  

 

PS: Vic is my mistress. The Ratt is my main squeeze. I take what I learn there and apply it to my Vic. 

[dragzz]

hell jpett thanks for that pm by the way thats a good one . like i say planking is the hard part for me all in time it will come out right one year lol  planking this boat will best to get the exp for the victory

[JPett]

You will learn a lot building these little wooden ships. The least of which will be how to build little wooden ships

[dragzz]

[JPett]

Ahoy Dragzz 

 

I will second Popeye. Clean and I will add "sharp".  

 

That deck looks great. Your progression here is amazing 

 

Looks like planking time is right around the corner 

[M. Pajulahti]

Yeah looking good, but i'm just wondering why you left that rectangular hole in the bow? There's no suppose to be that and you are ment to plank over it! It's just a hole in the false deck to help you align the deck properly.

[dragzz]

m. pajulah     not to sure what u mean in your post there still the last part i need to plank . ples get to me on that ples and thank u

[M. Pajulahti]
