Ryland Craze

I was really impressed by Spence's model at the Northeast Conference. It's awesome that you're making a kit of this boat. I'm a fan of the smaller models. I will have to start saving enough money to buy a bunch of raffle tickets at the next Northeast Conference.

Welcome to Model Ship world JC.  I have looked at your build log and you are doing a good job.

Nice start.  It is good to see another Medway Longboat being built. Also, do not forget to install the simulated bolts on the keel at the stern.

Hi Sam and welcome to Model Ship World.  You have come to the right forum to start your journey in wooden model ship building.  I hope you start a build log on your Polaris when you start your model.

Congratulations Doug on finishing your Flirt.  You built a beautiful and highly crafted model.

Beautiful model.  Congratulations!

Congratulations on finishing this beautiful model.  It has been a pleasure following your build.  Your build log will be an inspiration for current and future Winchelsea builders.

Hi Diego and welcome to Model Ship World.  Model Shipways Lowell Grand Banks Dory is a good kit to start with.  It is often run on sale at Model Expo.

I am edge bending and twisting during the gluing process using my highly specialised clamps = fingernails and thumb!

The best clamps ever made. You did an excellent job on building your launch.  I did not realize how small it was until I saw the picture of you holding it.

Congratulations on finishing your Cheerful.  Your attention to detail and your craftsmanship made this model quite impressive.

I am looking forward to seeing it.

Beautiful model.  Congratulations on finishing this model.

I put my Longboat aside so I could participate in the Medway Longboat group build.  I really need to finish the Longboat.  It looks so nice when completed.

Your Pram is coming along nicely.  It is always good to pre-bend your planks.

Taking care in the early stages of the build will pay huge dividends further along in the build.  You are off to a good start.

Both models are going to the New London show at the end of the month.

I cannot wait to see them.  It should be a good show.

I like the dark deadeyes.  But the important thing is to take care of your health.  Like others have said, listen to the Admiral.

Congratulations!  Nice job on this model and an excellent build log for future builders of this kit. 

Beautiful model.  Congratulations!

Congratulations Mort on finishing your Victory.  You took an excellent kit and your embellishments turned this into an outstanding model.  You have to be mighty proud every-time you look at your Victory.  This one will definitely become a family heirloom.

Nice job.  You used a lot of unique techniques to get this far in your build.  It is really turning out to be a nice model.

If there is enough interest I will start another log and detail my journey with it.  Working this tiny certainly has its challenges.  Its not easy.

Please start a build log on this smaller scale Speedwell.  I know it will turn out to be a fantastic model and I look forward to see what you do in such a small scale.

I would definitely like to build a 3/32 scale Speedwell.  I like the small scale models.  Knowing your design techniques, this will be an exceptional kit.

Hi Duke and welcome to Model Ship World.  The Albatross looks like a nice kit.  I hope you start a build log so thet we can follow your progress on this model.
