AVOS 1806 Tender by greenstone - Master Korabel - 1/72 - TEST
greenstone posted a topic in Build Logs for SHIP MODEL KITS
Good afternoon, colleagues! I bring to your attention the test assembly of the new woodenkit from "MasterKorabel" Scale 1/72 The tender "AVOS" (in russian тендер "Авось") is the first ship of the Russian-American Company that was built in Alaska in Novo-Arkhangelsk in 1806 (now is Sitka, USA) The total length of the model is 42 centimeters 8 guns - 3 pound. Archival drawings of the tender "Avos" not preserved, unfortunately. But the Russian tenders are very similar to the English tenders. Russian shipbuilders used the English school. Therefore, designers "MasterKorabel" took as a basis one of the drawings from National Maritime Museum (Greenwich). In the basis - is Arrow (1823), a 10-gun single-masted Cutter, as designed and built by Captain Hayes. Tender "AVOS" was smaller in size than the "prototype". This drawing has undergone a change in length and width to match the basic dimensions of the tender "AVOS". As a result, the basis for a new theory and new circuits of hull. In short, this is a complete reconstruction of designers "MasterKorabel". So, here are the first photos -
The Dinghy by MaryO - FINISHED - Midwest - Small - 1" = 1' (1/12)

Hello all, I have always been intrigued by wood model ships. During the past winter, I decided to attempt my first build and began doing some research as to what kit would be best for a novice builder....particularly one with zero knowledge, experience or skills. MSW has been an amazing resource and greatly contributed to pointing me in the direction of the Midwest apprentice line. Thank you! My first build was the Midwest skiff. The experience was so gratifying and I was overall very pleased with the completed project. This is quite an addictive hobby and I had to start another. Midwest, The Dinghy, arrived the other day and I decided to make the leap and post the build....so here goes. 400 grit sand and scribed plank lines to bottom plank. My first build was a slow one and I expect this one will be as well. Slow seems to be a pace that suits me. I will be tackling the frames next and will continue to post progress or any problems that arise. Any advice and/or comments are always welcomed.
