    Steve, I have a set of Glardon-Vallorbe 5 1/2" needle files that I use a lot. These are the #2 cut, which is a medium cut. I recently received a #0 cut of these files which is a course cut, but have not really used them yet. I was surprised at how often I use these files. https://www.ottofrei.com/Glardon-Vallorbe-LA2442-2-Needle-File-Sets-of-6-5-1-2-14-cm-Medium

    Lynn, I am glad to see you step up to a more difficult build. You will do just fine, especially with all of the support that you will receive from the members here. I tagged your title for your Phantom and I see that there are many excellent build logs for this kit. It looks like Model Shipways has replaced the old instructions with a newer guide to building this model that was written by Chuck Passaro. His guide is a big improvement over the old kit instructions. I look forward to following your build.

    Welcome to Model Ship World Blair. You will do just fine on your Chaperone build judging by the excellent work on your model railroad. I love the era that you are modeling for your model railroad.

    Hi Doug and welcome to Model Ship World. The dory is an excellent model for your first build. I look forward to following your build log.

    Beautiful work.

    So sorry to hear about the flood damage to your home. These tragic events are happening too often. Don't let this stress you out.

    Nice build and a nice gift for your Dad.

    Beautiful build. You did a fantastic job on building this model.

    Welcome to Model Ship World NM. There are some fantastic build logs of paper models on this site. I look forward to seeing your work.

    Welcome to Model Ship World Benjamin. You have the right attitude in building your Bounty. So many ship model kits are never finished. Good luck on your build.

    Welcome to Model Ship World Kloppie. There is a wealth of information on MSW to help you on your Endeavour build. If you get a chance, please post a picture of your Smit Rotterdam.

    Wow Floyd! What a bummer having to find a new home so quick. I have attached the materials list for the masting package. I hope you can find time to get back to your build. Medway Masting Materials.pdf

    Welcome to Model Ship World. You have picked a good kit for your first wooden ship model kit. If you click on the "Lowell Grand Banks Dory" tag below the title at the top of this page, it will display all of the build logs on MSW of this kit. This kit builds into a very nice model. Good luck on your build.

    Beautiful model Steve. The added details sets you model out from the other builds that I have seen.

    Beautiful kit Chris and a masterpiece build by James.

    Congratulations! You did a nice job on building this model, especially at such a small scale.

    I am currently building this model and I would not recommend this kit for a first time build. I would go the route that grsjax recommended, the Model Shipways Lowell Grand Banks Dory. This kit can be purchased at a low price when Model Expo has one of their weekly sales. You may have to sign up for emails from them to be notified when the sales start and for the discount code.

    Congratulations Lynn on finishing your Pram. It is a great looking model and you should be proud of the work you have done. It is really nice to watch you improve your skills with the two boats you have completed. I am looking forward to seeing your build of the Phantom. I have seen some really nice builds of this kit using Chuck's practicum.

    I want to thank everyone for your comments and the "Likes". I appreciate the support and encouragement that you have given me throughout this build.

    Thanks Vahur for becoming a sponsor of Model Ship World. I wish you a successful start to your business. Hobbymill will be offering a valued service to our European members.

    Lynn, you are making good progress on your Pram. For your next model, you could build the Model Shipways Muscongus Bay Lobster Smack, which is the third kit in the series of progressive builds. Another option would be the Fifie ‘Lady Eleanor’ or the Zulu ‘Lady Isabella’ kits from Vanguard Models. Here is a link to the Vanguard site: https://vanguardmodels.co.uk/product-category/vanguard-model-kits/

    Nice work Steve. Very realistic looking.

    Outstanding work.

    Earlier this week I painted the oars, attached the flag and hung some rope coils on the flag halliard. My Medway Longboat is now finished. This has been a very enjoyable build. I want to thank many people for their help and encouragement along the way. A special thank you goes out to Chuck who offered advice and encouragement throughout my build. I have seen Chuck's model in person at three ship model shows and I have taken many photos of his model to use as a reference for my build. I also appreciate that Chuck designed a kit that a novice builder like me can build and the end result is a model that looks way better than what my skills could produce. I also appreciate all of the builders of this kit that posted their build logs on MSW. If your build logs were a book, I would have worn out the pages as I referred to your build logs for many of the tasks that I completed in my build. I also want to thank all of those members who looked in on my build log and made comments or hit the like button. Your reactions to my posts were a motivating force to move on to the next step of construction. Here are photos of my Medway Longboat, a fantastic kit by Syren Ship Model Company:

    Henry, Check out the build logs for the Model Shipways 18th Century Longboat. I did a search and came up with three pages of build logs. I am sure that some of these that have gotten to the rigging of their Longboats may show how they did the iron bands and seizing the blocks to the iron bands. Here is a link of the search that I did: https://modelshipworld.com/tags/18th century longboat/ In addition, you may want to check out YouTube as there are several good videos on seizing blocks.
