I use a Craftsman 3-D Sander. It features 3 small pivoting sanding heads that will sand any shape just as the templates indicate. Bill -
Tres magnifique! Bill

The kit is around 1/168. However, that is a close guestimate . . . Bill

I am very amazed at this model! It all started with an impressive planking job. Well done, sir! Bill

I, for one, enjoy solid hull kits as well as POB. Bill

Bluejacket once had several very interesting solid hull ship model kits. I currently have their old Half Moon and their Continental Navy Ship Cabot. I would love to have their Flying Cloud. I wish that Bluejacket would manufacture them again. Bill

Although both kits have some problems, the most egregious one can be found in the hull moldings. There is really good detail as far as wood grain, but there are no planks. They almost look like the ships were carved out of logs. That said, I like both models and have planked over the hulls as much as possible. Problem solved . . . Bill

I only have one question. You are doing a truly exceptional job. I particularly like the white trim at the bow and stern. But where did you get the plastic wood? Bill

I began building PoF ships when I was stationed in Italy at the end of the 1970s. At the time, there existed a company called Aeropiccola that had a range of smaller ship models called "Super Mec. I have built two of them early in my modeling experience, HMS Victory and HMS Prince. They were of 1/144 to 1/180 scale. Although they were basic, they were of a perfect size for most homes. The builder was also free to add detailing as he or she wanted. I wish that we could have more ships in these small scales. Bill

I am struck with your decks! Did you paint the decks or use wood? They are beautiful! Bill

Well, it may be a difficult kit but you are making a masterpiece of it! You are making excellent progress,! Bill

I have this kit awaiting me in my stash. I am taking inspiration from your excellent job so far! Bill
-
Amen to that! Bill

I have the old Marine Models kit of the Sea Witch. You are inspiring me to build it! Bill

Avi, There is nothing in particular. There are so many videos that are helpful. They are great! Bill

Avi. Have you seen the videos on coppering a ship on YouTube? Bill

Unfortunately, the movie version of HMS Surprise originated as a replica of HMS Rose, of importance here in southern New England. I don't know how much she was modified for the movie, or how much she was made to resemble the real HMS Surprise. Just' sayin' . . . Bill Morrison

Beautiful job on the Prince!!! Well done! Keith, I can't wait to see your Royal William. Bill Morrison

Mine is the Constructo kit that came out just a few years ago, so it looks like the same kit you are building. I hope mine looks as good as yours! Bill Morrison.

The rigging of plas5ic versus wood ship kits is the same. only the material and complexity of the model is different, which might affect the methos used. Bill

I remember back in the 1990s that a friend of mine converted the Heller 1/100 kit to her as-built configuration. I have to admit that that, to me, is when she was most attractive. You are doing a wonderful build. Well done! Bill Morrison

Welcome, Dr.! Well done on your models. Bill Morrison

I love my Paasch airbrush! Bill Morrison
