    Nice start on your build log. I look forward to following this build.

    It happens to me too, Andy. I just page down to the point where I get the separator line indicating "New content begins here". I just assumed it had something to do with my browser, but your explanation seems more feasible.

    Welcome to Model Ship World suehneprinz. I too look forward to seeing your plans of your cruiser. The naval history of the late 19th and early 20th century really fascinates me. I enjoyed the website on the Irene. She had quite a history.

    Welcome to Model Ship World ColFitz. You have been given good advice in the above replies. I hope you start a build log on your Endeavour Longboat. We all like to see other members work plus it is very encouraging to share your progress of your build with other members.

    Welcome to Model Ship World Andre. You have come to the right site to enhance your skills in building wooden ship models. There is a wealth of information on this site and if you need help, just ask. I look forward to following your build log on your Longboat.

    Hi Ben, Welcome to Model Ship World. Your experience in building plastic models should help you when you start your Amati Fifie. It looks like it is a good model as I have read the review of this kit on MSW. You might want to check out the Hyde Street Pier Model Shipwrights. It is a club that meets at the San Francisco Maritime National Historic Park. Here is a link to their website: https://hspms.org/ I look forward to following your build log once you get it up and running.

    That would be very helpful. I have the Cheerful starter package and all of the sheets of wood. I just need to learn how to rip my own planks. I have enjoyed your build log as well as the other Cheerful builders. All of this information will help me when I start my Cheerful.

    Good for you. I wish you much success and am glad you are sharing your kit developments with us. I am amazed at how fast you can turn out a new kit and the quality that you build into your designs.

    I ordered this set from Otto Frei. https://www.ottofrei.com/Glardon-Vallorbe-LA2442-2-Needle-File-Sets-of-6-5-1-2-14-cm-Medium I am satisfied with the files and the service was excellent. I highly recommend this company. Here is a link to the main page of their files: https://www.ottofrei.com/jewelry-tools-equipment/bench-tools/files

    Looks like a nice model. I look forward to the resumption of your build.

    You are off to a good start on your Emma C. Berry. I like your build board and lofting jig. These will be a great help as you move forward with your build.

    Welcome to Model Ship World Paul. You have come to the right forum to improve your ship modeling skills. I look forward to seeing your model.

    Welcome to Model Ship World Swede. You live in an area that has a lot of nautical history. I attend the annual Northeast Joint Clubs Conference in New London every April and visit Mystic Seaport annually. There is also the Connecticut Marine Model Society that meets near you. Many of their members are members of MSW. You have some nice models lined up to build. Please post some pictures of your Lady Nelson. We would love to see your work.

    Nice start on your Beagle. Looks like an excellent kit for your first build. On YouTube there is a 131 part build of this model.
  16. Ryland Craze
    Moved to sub forum 1501-1750. Thanks for letting us know. Also, a very nice build.
  17. Ryland Craze
    I am looking forward to following your build of the Speedy. I saw your Longboat pictures in the Gallery and was real impressed by your work. I agree with you that the Longboat is a real challenge for the first time builder. With the skills you have acquired, you should have no problems with building the Speedy.
  18. Ryland Craze
    Very nice work. Thank you for sharing your pictures with us.

    Welcome to Model Ship World Medy lin. You have some very nice models and I look forward to seeing more of your work.
  20. Ryland Craze
    You are making good progress on your AV. The hull really looks nice and thanks for the detailed build log. It will be a real help for future AV builders.
  21. Ryland Craze
    Glenn, I used Minwax Natural wood filler on my Longboat. It was a perfect match to the yellow cedar.
  22. Ryland Craze
    Thanks for the pictures. Your hull looks great. The masting and rigging can be challenging, but it can be a very enjoyable part of the overall build.
  23. Ryland Craze
    Hi Michael and welcome to Model Ship World. Thank you for your service. You have come to the right place to get help if you need any. Your woodworking experience is a plus when building your model. If you get a chance, please post a picture of your model. We would love to see your work.

    Welcome to Model Ship World Robby. OcCre makes good kits and the Buccaneer should build into a nice model.

    Welcome to Model Ship World Maidom and congratulations on finishing your riverboat. It turned out very nice. What are you planning on building next?
