Hi, TKAM! I have been busy updating the build logs area of our site, and the MS longboat turns up frequently there. Click here to see a partial list of other builds for this kit. Cheers!

She's very presentable, and success with even a "simple" kit does wonders for one's confidence going into the next challenge. Congrats!

Outstanding work! It's a shame that Midwest felt the need to drop their boat kits from their lineup.

You have passed a very significant milestone with the completion of the hull planking. Cheers!

Hi! I presume you are asking about the old Model Shipways kit? It's in 3/16" scale, or 1/64. BTW, check out the ship's boat kits from Master Korabel -- they are in 1/72 scale, but one of them may be an appropriate size for you.

Welcome aboard! Such expertise as you describe does indeed exist within our group -- but I am not one of those experts. Looking forward to seeing the fruits of your research. Cheers!

Outstanding work, David! She looks a treat. Bob, just my two cents, but basswood is more than adequate if you intend to hide all your work under paint (and PoB II has such a pretty paint job). Also, being a large model, replacing the kit wood might cost you some. Cheers!

Hmm -- it's really hard, for me at least, to tell what shape that #18 should have exactly. However, we have any number of members here who have finished one or another kit version of Endeavour and should be able to give you some idea of how to proceed. I'm going to modify the title of this thread again to see if we can't get you some more capable help. Cheers!

Definitely gunboat. I like the choice of subject for the new kit.

Well, the first step to getting help is to make a post title that clearly states what you're looking for (I fixed that for you -- no charge). Second, do your kit plans show any full-size parts templates? If so, you can use those to scratch-build some replacement parts. Third, from whom did you purchase the kit? At least one vendor, Model Expo, will replace any missing parts. That should get you started. Cheers!

Looking very nice, Ondras -- your treenailing is laid out perfectly! -
That kit is no longer in Amati's catalog, but you may be able to obtain copies of the documentation by contacting their customer service at contact@amatimodel.com. Cheers!

Only the plans can tell you that for certain. To my eye, everything looks very nice so far.

It wasn't. The kit was originally designed as a solid-hull model, later re-issued as a POB kit, and now is back to solid hull again. Full circle, I guess one could say.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
