But hopefully the shortcomings you mentioned will be rectified when Daniel Dusek reissues this kit, if he hasn't done so already. -
These little ship's boat kits are really something!
-
Welcome aboard! Ah, but it does! It represents the reproduction, the ship that currently exists. It's a real ship, just not the original Niagara. 😉

Indeed! Once upon a time it was a place to find real deals. Now it is a wasteland of people who think that they should sell second-hand merchandise for the same price (or more) as a new item. People -- get a clue!! 😑

Hi, Justin. Yes, Crown Model and Woodenkit are both on the naughty list, as described in the topic linked to previously, so I had to remove the link in your post (no worries). You are doing a fantastic job on the MK version -- the finish looks particularly nice. Cheers!

The key is part o the coat of arms of Bremen, one of the cities in the Hanseatic League, and symbolizes the city's patron saint, Simon Petrus. It dates back to 1366.

This looks like it is a finished example of Artesania Latina's Harvey kit. a generic Baltimore clipper in 1/47 scale, which produces a rather large model, as can be seen in the photo. Curious why the builder would have affixed a Dutch coin to the model.
-
Congrats on another fine model and an entertaining log to go with it!

I built the POB version, which had a number of issues. The instructions and kit contents would obviously have had to have been modified for a solid-hull version, but I'm unfamiliar with the changes. Interestingly, the POB version was itself a revision of the original solid-hull version, which dates way back to MS's yellow box days. There's a few photos of my finished model in the gallery here.
-
Welcome! Are you building the current solid-hull version of the kit, or the older POB version?

Hi, Barbara. A good way to find such information is to use our search function. You can enter a string of search terms, such as "pride of baltimore finished", then select the "more options" button, followed by the "topics" option and "titles only." I did so and got two hits for completed build logs, which you can see here. Enjoy!

Dmitriy, I have always liked the appearance of the pre-Dreadnoughts, and of course the Russians had many of them. At one time I had a number of the card model versions from Orel (they have an extensive product line), but I decided that they were beyond my ability to build nicely, so I sold them.

Jim, we missed your regular painting updates! Armed trawlers on the North Atlantic convoy routes figured prominently in the latest book I just finished reading.

Help with soldering
ccoyle replied to Kevin Kenny's topic in Metal Work, Soldering and Metal Fittings
Well, I don't know anything about resistance soldering, but it was fun to see & hear one of our members! -
That's a nice kit, and I have built it myself, but its instructions aren't the greatest either. That won't be a problem if you make good use of the resources available here, though. There's also multiple build logs of finished examples to use as guides, too. Cheers!

The chief knock I've seen against Billings is their somewhat meager instructions, but we have some members who love them and have built fantastic models from them. Mastini's book is based on the Artesania Latina version, which is similar. But -- you should build something that will hold your interest, so if a small man o' war is what interests you, then have a look at a cutter or armed schooner. Lots of examples out there.

PVC pipe and water is the method I have used for 20 years now. 😉 But I don't use hot water -- cold water and a plank bending tool works for me.

Like a lot of people in this neck of the woods, I'm not actually from these parts -- transplanted California native. 😉

Hello, Cristik! I edited your build log title to show the more usual English translation of Panart's Italian name for this kit. If you need some guidance during your project, we have at least one finished battle station in the build logs, which you can find by searching for "battle station." Bbucurați-vă de noul dvs. proiect!

Smart! And it looks like you are off to a great start, too. I did model rocketry as a kid -- still have vivid memories of most of my rockets, probably due to the fact that they usually came to some sad but spectacular end!
