  1. Hello everyone, I'm currently building the OcCre model Corsair (1:80 scale) and it's my first ever super detailed model ship. I've been a huge fan of building dioramas and crafting terrain/monsters/miscellaneous things for my D&D group, and also I've been quite handy in assembling all types of kits from Tamiya, Revell, Trumpeter, etc. Being new to wooden plank on bulkhead models, I'm having a hard time finding anything about the identification of the types of woods generally used in these model kits. I've included a couple pictures of the wood that was in the Corsair kit and a picture of one of the pages in the IP manual/parts list. Unfortunately (or fortunately, I don't really know yet lol), the parts list doesn't include a list of how many of each type of wood was included with the kit, rather a cut list for each individual piece to be assembled. In the right column it states what type of wood to use for each particular piece but that's where I'm stumped. I don't have any idea what is what, and to make things worse there are multiple different colors/types of wood with the same dimensions. The only thing I've found online really is that most types of wood commonly used in these kits can vary wildly in color and texture, and that sucks lol. My main concern is just that I use the wrong type of wood for a particular series of parts and then later on in the build find out that I've ran out of a specific kind of material and get stuck. If anyone has built the OcCre Corsair, or can help me identify what the woods are that were included in this kit, I'd be forever grateful for your help in figuring this out. Thanks to anyone who has read this, have a good day! Cheers, and take care <3.
  2. Can anyone direct me to a set of plans for a two-masted schooner that would be suitable to represent the Civil War mortar schooner, C. P. Williams. In his book, Warships of the Civil War Navy, Paul Silverstone indicated she was a 210 ton ship 103’ 8” long (no indication as to whether this is waterline length, or between perpendiculars), 28’ 3” beam, and with a draft of 9.’ These dimensions are confirmed by other sources, so they are probably correct. The National Archives has no plans for this ship. The Archives does have plans for the Revenue Cutter Joe Lane of the same era, but while her length of 100’ 4” (LWL) and draft of about 9 feet aft is close, her breadth is only 23,’ and, not surprisingly, her tonnage is much too low, at 153.3. I have been thinking of redrawing the plans of the Joe Lane to 28 feet wide, but would much prefer to obtain plans of a schooner that more closely resembled the C. P. Williams.
  3. Hello to all members of this forum. I'm new to the ship modeling world. At the age of seventy i thought it would be a good idea to start a new hobby. A few days ago i purchased the Occre Trinidad cross section which will be delivered in a few weeks, in the meantime i am surfing the net for information and found this great forum which gave me a lot of information. One question keeps popping up in my mind, a lot of people go to an incredible level of detail but on a cross section of any wooden ship or windmill i came across nobody ever planks the underside of decks or floors. Is there a specific reason for that ? Looking forward to learn a lot more at this forum. All the best Greelt
