    You are making good progress on your build. Thanks for posting a detailed build log. It will help future builders of this kit.

    Nice job on your sloup. Many of use the "poor man's lathe" to round off square stock. I always take a sanding stick and knock off the corners making it an octagon before I chuck it into my drill. That was an interesting technique you used on dyeing the sails.

    Nice looking rope. You did a good job making this rope on the Syren Rope Rocket.

    Welcome to Model Ship World Broat. Your Constitution is looking really nice. I do not see you having any problems building a wooden ship model. You have attained a lot of skills needed for this hobby. Looking forward to the completion of your Constitution.

    Very nicely done. Your Cheerful is looking great.

    Your keel looks nice. Now the fun part starts.

    Welcome to Model Ship World Jerry. The Glad Tidings build into a very fine model. Here is a link to Olha Batchvarov's build log of this model. It has a lot of information that will help anyone building this model.

    Welcome to Model Ship World tomsimon. You have picked a good kit to get you started in this hobby. The book, Ship Modeling Simplified, by Frank Mastini was the first book I purchased on ship modeling and it got me interested in this hobby. I was fortunate to have known Frank Mastini as he was a member of the Hampton Roads Ship Model Society. He was mentoring me on the Bluenose shortly before he passed away. I treasure the time I spent with him.

    Welcome to Model Ship World Seaforth. You have received good information on starting a build log. Posing your question in your build log will likely get a solution from the members that have built the Vasa. Good luck on your build.

    Welcome to Model Ship World Daniel. You have a good collection of kits that should keep you busy for quite a while. Please post pictures of your current model as we would like to see your progress.

    Hi Pipe Major and welcome to Model Ship World. I have not built the Vasa so I am unable to answer your question. If you can give a detailed explanation of the problem you are having as well as some pictures, I am sure you will receive suggestions on a resolution. Good luck on your build.

    You are making good progress James. Another approach you can take in gluing large surfaces is to use a combination of CA and yellow glue (Titebond). Just put a small amount of CA to tack the surface of the piece being glued and use the yellow glue for the remainder of the bond. This way, if the part is misaligned, it would be easier to break the bond before the yellow glue sets. You can also use a small paint brush and water to clean up any of the excess yellow glue in the joints.

    Thanks shipman for your comments. I am glad you like the colors I chose. I actually painted the cap rails with another red (you can see remnants of the paint in the second picture of your quote) but it was too bright for my liking, so I sanded it off. The Grumbacher Cadmium Red color was a better choice to me as I felt it closely matched the colors on the contemporary models in the NMM that the kit was modeled after. The freizes provided in the kit were drawn by Chuck Passaro and were based on the NMM models. I have attached the pictures of the two models that Chuck Passaro modeled this kit after: And here is a picture of my model from page 4 of my build log :

    Welcome back Ken. You had come a long way on your Hannah and I look forward to you restarting that build. You have done a great job on this kit and it will be nice to see it finished.

    Thanks Chuck and Glen for your comments. I also appreciate the "Likes". This is a really nice kit and I am enjoying the build. My miniature block plane is a Kunz 101 that I purchased from a Woodcraft store about 15 years ago. Stanley, Lie Nielsen and even Ebay have these miniature planes for sale. I am finding that I am using this plane more than I ever thought I would. I have been reading the build logs of other Medway Longboat builders and I find that each one has tips and techniques in it that I will use on my build. There is a wealth of information out there and I appreciate the efforts of Chuck, Rusty, Bob G, Bob W and others who have posted very detailed build logs. Their build logs are an inspiration for those of us that are building this kit.

    Welcome to Model Ship World. I look forward to seeing your build of the Tamiya Yukikaze. The photo etch really brings a model ship to life.
  17. Ryland Craze
    Thanks everyone for your replies and for the "Likes". Progress continues at a snails pace on my Longboat. I have completed all of the shaping of the mast, boom, gaff and bowsprit and finished painting them and applying WOP on the wood surfaces. I stepped the mast (temporarily) and I am ready to start the rigging. Here are some pictures of the status of the model that I shared with my Club members on Zoom this past Saturday:

    Welcome to Model Ship World Andre. You are doing a good job on your Victory and I feel you have a good approach on moving ahead to your other kits. I hope to see more pictures of your progress on your Victory.

    Welcome to Model Ship World David. I am sorry to hear of the news of the tornado as I am sure you lost more than the Syren. You sound like an experienced modeler and I look forward to seeing your work.
  20. Ryland Craze
    Welcome to Model Ship World Patrick. I am looking forward to following your Bohuslan build.
  21. Ryland Craze
    Welcome to Model Ship World Daniel. The Polaris from OcCre seems to be a good model for a beginner. I believe OcCre has some videos on YouTube with tips on how to build the Polaris. Good luck on your build.
  22. Ryland Craze
    Congratulations on finishing your Cutty Sark. You built a highly crafted model and the details you added during this build make this model stand out. If you get a chance, please post your pictures in the Gallery.
  23. Ryland Craze
    Please post some pictures of your work when you create them. 3-D is here to stay and we are in the infancy of this new technology.
  24. Ryland Craze
    Congratulations on finishing your Lady Nelson. You did an excellent job on building this model.
