Jump right in Joe!!!

Sure!!! Not an issue. I will separate those out.

If you are considering joining this group to build the model of Winchelsea, here is a brief description of the plans you will gain access to. You will need to download these PDF documents and print them yourself at Kinkos or other facility. There are four large sheets that contain all of the details...they are 40" x 30" in size. Just make sure you print them to the correct size and "as in document". Check your prints against the scale bar on each sheet which shows 1/4" increments. They should match that size after printing. There is another PDF file that contains something like 30 pages I cant remember exactly. This file is for the bulkheads and all plywood parts. All of these parts will be made from 1/4" thick plywood. I am using aircraft light ply. But remember, all 1/4" thick plywood is not actually a 1/4" thick. You may have to alter the width of the slots so your bulkheads will fit nicely into the slots of the false keel. These files are presented on 8 1/2" x 11" pages so you can just print them out on your personal printer and get started. There are however two sheets that are 11 x 17 because they were too large. These can be printed at staples or kinkos or something like that. So with these initial files so easy to print on your own you can adhere them to your plywood and cut them out with a scroll saw. Feel free to start a discussion on your personal favorite method for adhering the templates to the plywood. I am sure it would be very helpful to everyone participating in the group. You will need EIGHT 12" x 24" sheets of 1/4" ply to fit all of these parts for the skeletal framework. Any Questions??? Oh!!! This model is in 1/4" scale and when finished it will be 38" long. This model will be unrigged and was inspired by the contemporary model of the HMS Winchelsea in the National Maritime Museum. Its a very big model.

This is where you can talk about planking the hull outboard as described in Chapter two of the monograph.

This is where we will discuss any questions and details for assembling the bulkheads and keel parts as described in chapter one of the monograph.

Coming soon!!!

Looks fantastic.

Listed below are the materials you will need to complete each chapter. You will notice that they are each broken down into three categories. - Laser cut parts and materials available for this chapter from Syren Ship Model Company. Not all of the parts will be available laser cut for each chapter as this is basically a scratch/semi scratch project. This list details what you get should you buy the laser cut parts. For example, there are no bulkheads and false keel or ply parts for sale laser cut. You will need to buy the required sheets of 1/4" plywood sheets and cut your own parts using a scroll saw. Depending on how this goes...a separate plywood laser cut package will be made available in the future but we want to encourage some scratch building with this project. - Wood and materials you will still need if you do buy the laser package for each installment. Since this isnt a kit, in most cases there will still be additional wood strips and sheets needed. For example, upward of 300 wood strips of various sizes will need to be milled or bought to plank the exterior of the hull in installment two. I nice checklist has been developed for each chapter of the project. Download that here All laser cut parts and other fittings can be bought here at Syren Ship Model Company.

Its looking just as it is supposed to at this stage. You are doing some fine work on it. Just take your time and dont rush it. Keep that planking neat and nice and tight. Dont forget to simulate the caulking between planks. Running a pencil along one edge of teh joint is just perfect on cedar.

There are no instructions as this is a complete scratch project. After you sign up you will be given access to the plans. There is nothing prepared for it at all....you need to buy the raw wood and have at it....decorations and all!!! Its a real fun project. Just look through some of the completed models.

Welcome to MSW.....Tell us a little about yourself. What are you building at the moment? Thanks for sharing the photos. I feel they may get lost in this forum in your intro topic. You should post them in the general discussion forum in a topic titled " Karl's (Marquardt) model of Endeavor - some photos" Chuck

Since we have plans in the works for some potential new group projects I am giving this topic a bump. Note the newer choices added to the poll on the last question. If none suit your fancy...please list once again your subject matter of choice and how you would like to see the project presented. For example.... "I would like to see a group for a small skipjack with plans made available. I would like to have a starter package available for the main skeletal parts like the bulkheads and keel but beyond that I would prefer to scratch everything else with help from participants and a group leader or mentor." This type of request helps us find someone and put together such a project because there are more details than simply stating a subject type. Chuck
