    Hi Ian. Workshop heaven stocks all sorts of fine timber. http://www.workshopheaven.com/tools/Boxwood_Squares_20-25mm.html Most of the Boxwood is small in size and not very long. You could contact them ans inquire about larger sizes. Regards Antony.

    Hi Karl. I followed your last build with great interest and I shall follow this one with equal interest. Am I correct in thinking that the hull will be fixed and all the decks will slide out ??Is so how will you achieve this ? Regards Antony.

    Hello Stergios. Welcome to MSW. You have made a good start on your cross section. Making something and then deciding it is not good enough for you is good . It shows you have a goos standard of what you are trying to acheave. And making mistakes is what we all learn with. I love Pear wood. Makes very nice timber for model ship building. Will be following along with your build. Regards Antony.

    Hi Michael. Not are you a Exelent model ship builder BUT you are also a Exelent engineer. Amazing work you got going there. Have been following this build for some time and the shear amount of detail to the little bits is what makes this one of the best. Truly outstanding. Regards Antony. BTW. Happy birthday.

    Hi. I have read a article that discribed the loading and unloading of horses. The horses were lead out to the ships by small rowing boats ( The horse was swimming) A sling/ harness was passed around the horse and it was halled aboard as the photos that Chuck posted. Unloading was the reverse. I guess that cargo ships would have been used to this purpose as there hatches were much larger. And they would have used a hoisting beam for this task. Regards Antony.

    Hi Joshua. When I have a LOT of bevels to do I make a jig out of some scrap softwood. The scrap timber should be flat and wide. Using a bench saw cut a slot in the scrap timber at the angle you want. Then the timber you are sanding fits into the slot at the correct angle. Now I pass it through my drum sander. The result is perfect bevels on my timbers. Regards Antony.

    Hi John. First kit. Nice going. The planking is not easy for beginners and is time consuming. Keep up the good work. Will be following you with this build. Regards Antony.
