Frank! What a brilliant build. I love everything about this Ship. You really showed your models skills and I’m so happy for you.
I really hope you will be able to show it at the Guilds show in February!
Best of luck

I totally understand that. You really do understand the theory of Japanese boat design and you give us a way of respecting a ship design that is total foreign to europian design.
Best of luck with the diorama!

Clair, this looks very good, but it’s not Japanese?
Hope you have fun with it. Best of luck!

Frank, as always you have outdone yourself. As I have said before, this is by far your best work yet. I cannot wait to see this on display at the February 2024 Show.
This will definitely be the height of the show at the Museum!
The more important question question is. Where is your Wife going to allow it to be
displayed? Also who is Kirill that he could be so petty to criticize you on your build.
If he can create a model that looks so good, than he can criticize.
All my best!

Clare, I do think that you are on the right track with the pattern of your sail construction. They definitely have the correct appearance. Great progress!

I also got my set today. Great Christmas gift! Jack does some great work. It took 6 days to get this from China.
Amazing! Thank’s Chuck for finding Jack, and thanks Jack for your skill to make these parts.

Your copper hull looks fine. Do not destroy all that hard work.
I volunteer at the Navy Yard in Charlestown. I have seen the coppering of Constitution up closed. Do you know the size of a coppering nail? I looks like a
furniture tack. The smaller the head the better the job. If your twenty feet away from
the hull and you look at the hull it’s hard to see the nail heads.
Work on the upper parts of the model that will require a great of detailing.
If the upper part of the ship looks as good as the lower half you’re going to have a great model.
Also, how far are you from Tokyo? The Tokyo Rope club is a great group of Ship
Modellers. Try to contact them.
All my best

Chuck, I would also buy the stand as a sub-kit. I think it looks great!

Chuck, another good project to help me understand how to build boats.
I would love to be a part of this.
Thank You for all your great projects

Frank, this is a magnificent project! As, I said before, this is the best thing that you have done, and you have done many great models!
I hope you will reconsider and enter your Ship in our February 2023 Model Ship Show at the Constition Museum show. When you add the oars to the ship it my be to large to display.
Just a thought. I think you are a great modeler.

Frank, the ship looks great. The paint is very vibrant and really brings out the details.
I do think that the transfer method on the flags will work the best.
Good luck!

Frank, I am in awe of how much you have accomplished in this build.
Most of the builders in our group do English or American style Ships/ Boats.
This is a complete departure from what we have learned about ships, there style and function. We follow Dutch, English, and French Atlantic style sailing ships or steam ships.
To make a Mediterranean style ship is a great accomplishment. I can not wait to see this up close.
Thank You

Tim Murphy got a reaction from thibaultron in Captain John Smith’s shallop 1608 by shipphotographer.com - Ships of Pavel Nikitin - 1:32
One point on this build.
A Shallop was built , it was built in England or Holland (eg. the Plymouth Pilgrims).
The boat was to long to be carried on board Susan B. Constant or the Mayflower.
The boat was built in two pieces. A forward section and aft section.
So we need to put a wall amidships on the model to delineate the two half’s.
Just a point to consider.
