18th Century Longboat by Erik W - FINISHED - Model Shipways - Scale 1:48 - First wooden ship build


Recommended Posts

Eric, she came out absolutely gorgeous. That is some nice work. I really like the simulated caulking, that came out really nice. Now, on to bigger and better things.I agree with Mike, you have some real potential talent and your next project should be great. The Cheerful sounds like a great plan.

 

Carry on matey,

Beautifully done Erik! Having seen some photos of your other projects it comes as no surprise that you would build a Longboat to be proud of. I'm really looking forward to following your next project, whatever that might be.

Wow!  Thanks for all the kind words.  As far as a next build, my plan is to throw my hat into the ring with all the other Cheerful builders.   :)   I'm working on getting my ducks in a row now with what I need from Chuck, and Jason at Crown Timberyard.
