Redshirt got a reaction from FrankWouts in HM Cutter Cheerful 1806 by Chuck - FINISHED - 1:48 scale - kit prototype
Im always happy to see more of the far too often ignored workhorses of the fleet.

Redshirt got a reaction from AJohnson in The Hayling Hoy of 1759-1760
How complete and of what quality are the Plans?

Redshirt got a reaction from FrankWouts in SOLEIL ROYAL 1669 by michel saunier
This is frankly amazing work. The hull by itself is a work of art but that admiral's cabin with it's painting and especialy the floortiles is downright breathtaking.

Redshirt got a reaction from reklein in Question: planking bluff bows on dutch ship
Hello,
i have recently come to wonder about how the extremely bluff prows (and sometimes rear sections) of dutch vessels like the galiot are to be planked correctly.
On most british or frensh vessels a normal plank seems to end on either the stem or the stern (or even both if we use a single plank).
On some vessels (like the Master Korabel St Gabriel at least some planks end in the wales, presumably because of the extreme angels involved.
Is this something specific to certain boats or merely a simplification?
added pictures for the Master Korabel St. Gabriel

Redshirt got a reaction from tkay11 in Clipper d'Argenteuil by G.L. - POF - scale 1/15 - SMALL
What a beautiful start for a beautiful boat.
Allow me a question. Most of the recent Ancre plans left me somewhat (or in some cases, very) disapointed. How is this one?
Was it easy to draw the frames or did you had to correct much?

Thanks for the answer. The problems that frames which have been reconstructed from the waterlines do not fully match the frames given by the monograph as well as inconsistencies between different plans of a single set are something i have experienced far too often with some of the more recent Ancre monographs.
In the age of cad software this should no longer happen.

Redshirt got a reaction from Barbossa in 1:200 Bismarck - coming soon!
I understand the rationale for choosing Bismarck but tbh, it is a rather common and not terribly exciting subject.

Redshirt got a reaction from druxey in Introduction to Arsenal Modeling, available in English
I would like to highly recommend the book. It is rather thorough, has nice drawings and photographies and the english translation appears to be well done as well.

Redshirt got a reaction from mtaylor in Mini Table Saw recommendations
Did you exchange the longitudinal stop with something more accurate?

Redshirt got a reaction from thibaultron in Zara by RGL - FINISHED - Trumpeter - 1/350 - PLASTIC - Italian heavy cruiser
This might be the worst global pandemic since the spanish flu a hundred years ago so a certain level of alertness is advisable.
Northern Italy is a rather horrible example of how bad it can get very quickly. Still, hoarding toilet paper might not be the best solution

Redshirt got a reaction from SteveLarsen in USS Saratoga by Steve Larsen - PLASTIC - 1:350 as she appeared in 1944
Extremely impressive.

Redshirt got a reaction from egen in Scampavia 1714 Russian galley by egen - Technell - 1:48 -
This looks quite good. Are these kits only sold in Russia?

Redshirt got a reaction from mtaylor in Spanish Longboat by Schrader - FINISHED - 1:25 - Plans by Isisdro Rivera - SMALL
Where can Mr. Rivera's plans be purchased? There isn't very much about spanish vessels in the usual (that is, english, french and german writing) sources and i would be quite interested in some good plans of the spanish navy.

Redshirt got a reaction from Keith Black in What kit to get
I would advise against the AL pilot boat. It might have been a decent kit in the past but i recently bought the "renewed" version and was quite dissapointed. The wood is rather cheap, it has too few bulkheads and only a single layer of planks (which requires filling which isn't exactly beginner friendly) and the keel shaper was warped and too thin for it's size.
