I use CA from ZAP available at Toemen modelbouw, works quite good! And available in different thickness

Really interesting to see a build log from this model!  

Great start on your Pegasus Richard! very recognisable that information overload 😂. At some point...you just need to get started. Sorry to confuse you with the numbers of the bulkheads  

Great to see you tackle a new interesting subject Blue Ensign!

What a beautiful clean paint job! Lovely!

I ordered also a copy, unfortunately they are on holiday so I need to wait till the 19th of August for shipment 😭

That are a lot of bulkhead parts!

Fantastic stuff again!

You have made another great model Blue Ensign!

Welkom! 

Ha you are quite busy with al those builds in such a quick tempo  . Would be fun to see this come together!

You are going quite fast already! Nice to follow the progress!

Mugje,   

 

There are many advantages to scratch building and a few come to mind.

 

You can choose any ship for which you can find plans and not have to do the same vessel that has been built by hundreds before you.   There are far more choices of ships to scratch build than there are kits. 

 

The quality and accuracy of your model is dependent only on you.     

 

Any of the books from David Antscherl are well worth having for any kind of scratch build, be it for a neophyte such as yourself or long time scratcher builder. 

 

Know that a full shop is a plus but it is not at all necessary.   Things such cannon barrels, rope, and similar items can be purchased from suppliers such as Syren et al. 

 

Go for it!!

Thanks Allen!

Mugje,

If' youi've been scratch building parts for your models, you're off to a good start.  If you're uncomfortable starting scratch, start simple maybe the Triton cross-section.  You don't even need to complete it, just learn how to frame, etc.

Thanks mtaylor, that is a good tip. I will think about the whole scratchbuilding journey and where to begin

You should already have some semi-scratch or scratch building experience, mugje. Small power equipment helps: a mini circular saw and scroll saw make things go easier than using hand tools alone. Be prepared for a few 'do-overs'; this is normal even for experienced builders. The book is a step-by-step one, with lots of photos and diagrams as well as the plans mentioned above. A copy of The Fully Framed Model, Volume I is also very helpful if you are not already familiar with 18th century ship construction.

Thank you Druxey! That is quite helpful. I do not have really experience in scratch building, so I need to think about it. But you need start somewhere  

I know it's quite an old topic, but to open a new one seemed pointless. 

A really nice review offcourse, but I wonder...what should I imagine with such a book and plans. Is it a sort of follow-along book? Or do you really need

to know already a lot because of the complexity of this project and how to read plans etc?

The plank on frame and scratch builds really appeal to me, but not a clue where to start and when you are ready for it.

That's beautiful!  

Flawless! 

That is some very, very clean looking deck there! Great job! Did I missed the scale you are building this project in?

I really enjoyed seeing your AVS come together. This one is also interesting! I'm going to follow  

What a beautiful and outstanding craftmanship! I'm going to follow!

Hopefully you can get it put together a little faster than this gentleman

It looks much bigger then the measurments in the article? Especially if you considering the time spent  

Really nice!! And small  

Those pictures of the carronades are really beautiful! It looks much bigger then it really is! Nice!

That is a original idea! Exciting to see this taking shape
