  1. Welcome, Bob! I agree with You, setting up sometimes takes more time than milling. But the quality justifies the cost. Yes, I'm bringing into operation this machine has already produced several critical parts. The result pleased me! Lake Onego is really great, but in Karelia about 40,000 lakes, and they are all very beautiful! ... If the person has a hobby - life is interesting in any point of planet Earth! Now developing a mount for the spindle of a milling machine. I have postponed this task for a while.

    How the Model will be built

     

    My intention is to build this model as Fully Framed with the Starboard side open and the Port Side fully planked - both Hull and Decks.

     

    Interior details like the Footwaling and Thickstuff (Port side only), Deck Clamps, Mast Steps, Breasthooks, Cabin Bulkheads, Companions (ladders) etc will be added.

     

    The Decks will feature all the fittings like the Guns (Port side only), Bitts, Pumps, Capstan, Anchors etc.

     

    All Masts and Yards will be fitted, and the ship will be fully Rigged.

     

    A Scratchbuilt Cutter will be included.

     

    This model will be completely Scratchbuilt, down to the Rigging Line and Blocks. The only "Non-Scratchbuilt" parts in this model will be the Gun Barrels. These will come from

    Shipmodels in Russia, cast in Brass by Alex Baranov. Sorry, but I don't have the skills to make them as well as he can :) .

     

    I expect it will take me about 3 to 4 years to complete this model. But I'm in no hurry, so it may take longer.

     

    I am sorry, but not from Russia, from Ukraine.
