    Hi Dougal and welcome to Model Ship World. Your trucks are very realistic as well as excellent photographic skills. I do hope you start a build log on your Endeavour Longboat as we would like to follow your progress.

    Good job on the square tuck. Your Cheerful is coming along nicely.
  3. Ryland Craze
    Your Bounty is coming along nicely. The extra details you are putting on this model are paying off. I like your attitude. Your build of the Bounty will be a model you will be proud of.

    Congratulations on finishing your first build. You did a really nice job on your Lobster boat. I am sure that you learned a lot that will help you on future builds.

    Congratulations on completing your Lady Eleanor. You have a highly crafted model of a work boat. I look forward to your HMS Flirt build.

    Jerry, You are off to a good start. By following Olha's videos, you will do just fine. You can add photo's within your text. After downloading your pictures, just place your cursor in the text and click it where you want to add the photo. Then click on the plus sign on the photo and it will be added within the post. After you post your picture, you can add more text and repeat the process to add more pictures.

    Check out the rigging instructions for the Medway Longboat, which is a larger scale version of your longboat. It is chapter five download on the Syren website. Here is a link: https://syrenshipmodelcompany.com/medway-longboat-1742.php

    Nice job on the hull. If you purchased the Longboat display base from Syren, now is the time to fit the pedestals to the hull. It is a lot easier to fit these at an early stage of the build.

    The amount of detail at that scale is just amazing. Thanks for the photos.

    Absolutely Beautiful! I feel like I am looking at pictures of a full scale Alfa Romeo. Your work is going to be a inspiration for future Pocher modelers.

    Welcome to Model Ship World Mark. Chris and Mark have given you good advice. I think it is important to start with a not too complex kit to build your skills. If you see a kit you like in the kit reviews section of this forum, check out the build logs by using the search function. MSW contains many detailed build logs that will help you in your build.

    Congratulations on completing your HMS Terror. It really turned out nice.
  13. Ryland Craze
    Your Kate Cory is looking real nice. The deck details look very realistic.

    David, The 18th Century Longboat is not the easiest model to build. Based on the pictures you posted, I do not think you would have a problem building any of the kits you mentioned. It sounds like you have learned a lot and improved your skills from your previous builds. I would build whatever kit that appeals to you the most.
  15. Ryland Craze
    Nice work on the weathering. Everything looks so realistic.
  16. Ryland Craze
    Welcome to Model Ship World. It sounds like you love to sail boats. I am glad you are interested in starting a build log. Here are a couple of topics that may be of help: You will find a build log very rewarding when you post about your build.

    Welcome to Model Ship World and thanks for sharing pictures of your build. Your model definitely looks like a pirate ship. I am looking forward to seeing more.
  18. Ryland Craze
    I am having the same problem.

    Welcome to Model Ship World Jon. Retirement does present its advantages when building ship models. You will find many kits available that may suit your interest.

    Welcome to Model Ship World Sparky. Thanks for sharing pictures of your past builds. Your models look very nice and skillfully constructed. What do you plan to build after completing your Longboat?
  21. Ryland Craze
    Thanks Bob, Michael and Glenn for the comments and also the "Likes". This model is starting to come to life and I am looking forward to the rigging portion of the build.
  22. Ryland Craze
    Sorry to hear of the positive test results. I hope your symptoms remain mild. Take care of yourself.

    I have made some progress on my Longboat and I shared this with the members of the Ship Model Society of New Jersey during last nights Zoom meeting. The mast has been finished by adding the simulated iron bands and eyebolts. I made the two upper iron bands using 1/16" wide chart tape and then formed the eyebolts using 22 gauge wire. I then weathered the iron bands and eyebolts with Tamyia rust weathering powder to give it some contrast. For the lower iron band, I used some black masking tape cut into a 3/32" wide strip and then made an eyebolt using 18 gauge wire. The hook in the boom was also made using 18 gauge wire. I also added the knees and belaying pins. The knees were painted off the model and then glued to the thwarts. I used some 1/16" wide chart tape to help align them onto the thwart before gluing. The belaying pins were turned using my dremel and some small files. The horse was made using the supplied 20 gauge wire. It was blackened and then a 1/4" block was seized to the horse before attaching the horse to the stern. My next step is to fit the pedestals that came with the engraved base from Syren Ship Model Company to the hull. I feel it would be difficult to handle the hull while trying to install the pedestals with the mast and rigging installed.

    Nice job on this model.
  25. Ryland Craze
    That looks much better. Glad to see the first planks on.
