  1. Continued to work on the front of the ship. I am trying to install everything needed before priming and painting the SHIP. I also did a final Sanding of the Hull and removed all dust with mineral spirit. Working on the rudder.
  2. Fixed a mistake with the railing. I misread the plan and forgot to add a plank under the railings. Better now. Moving to adding the bench support.
  3. Continued progress. Worked on ship wall support and Drilled hole for the mast. Created fake doors. Added the mast support. Getting it ready for painting. I need to add a few supports and planks and it is priming time.
  4. THank you. I will check them out.
  5. Hi all, The kit was given to me by a member of my club. It seems to complete but with the exception of the plans. I am looking for someone willing to sell them to me if no longer need them.  Please PM if interested.

  7. Long break. My garage is small and I had to reorganize my larger tools and all my scrap wood. Here are a few pictures of the progress. Imagine the planer and drill press on the workbench. Impossible to lay out plans and various projects. Now to the ship update. I worked on the keel and double planked it.
  8. Started to work on the deck. Removing the unnecessary portion of the bulkhead. Planking the stern section.
  9. After a long absence and lack of update, I am starting to resume working on this model. Starting second planking of the Transom.
  10. Long overdue update. Worked on first planking and completed it. Next steps... Wood filler smoothing the Hull and second planking
  11. Hi, It is a tough one. I did most of my research on French modeling sites. Not a problem with Google translate if you do not speak French. The plans from the AAMM were instrumental as well. http://www.aamm.fr/boutique/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=65&products_id=235 Bookmarked a few webpage along the way https://www.theropetokyo.org/展示会作品集/第27回展-2002年/第27回展-4-5/ https://www.theropetokyo.org/展示会作品集/第41回展-2016年/第41回展-1-6/#41-05 http://modelisme-naval-bois.lebonforum.com/t2877-la-marie-jeanne-thonier-de-concarneau-d-artesania-latina-au-1-50e-un-de-plus-par-taz-de-penn-ar-bed http://5500.forumactif.org/t2459-thonier-marie-jeanne-billing-boat I also like this french site.The scale is different (1/36) but great details especially on the rigging. http://www.planeteloisirs-bg.fr/index_fichiers/pages/bateau/marie-jeanne-1.html I hope this helps.
  12. Planking starts... After fairing the Hull, I started with the first plank.
  13. Some parts were warped so I had to put them under clamps Started to put together the hull. It was pretty straight forward so far. Prepared the stern and drill the hole for the tiller.
  14. Here is my new build. It will be for one of my daughters. It looks like it is going to be a fun build. I will be working on it at the same time as my other project, the Confederacy I think I am just going to build this one out of the box.
  15. Thank you!! Some decals came in the kit, but they were for the Marie-Jeanne. I bought some decals paper, use MS Word to create new name and ID number.
  16. I am done. Here is a few pictures before the official photo session 😁 Naming time... Flag on... A few overall shoots..
