Just finished about an hours worth of work on the hull with the chisel and wood rasp. Cheers, Tim

Pete, Please give it a try! The build goes pretty fast which is rewarding in itself, no long drawn out days if building several frames. (If you know what I mean?) I would highly reccoment BlueJackets Endeavour kit. It's a easy build and the instructions are very good and easy to follow, also the Basswood and Mahagony are of high quality, which means you don't have to paint the hull if you choose! PS: Please click in the link for the Endeavour, under my completed kits. You will be able to follow my build log. Cheers, Tim

Thanks to all the nice words! Tim

Bob, I use a variety of tools, the most common are: 7/16" Chisel Assorted Mascot Chisels Small Block Plane Wood Rasp Draw Plane Dremel Sander (The Dremel sander is no longer available and the sanding pads are increasingly hard to find, I found my last set on eBay). Tim

Using template "D" to check progress on the shape of the hull. Once again it's very important to take your time at this point. "You can always take more wood off but you can't put it back on" Cheers, Tim

It's been a while since I checked in on your build. In two words "Nice Work".... She looks fantastic! Tim

As you can see, I have completed working the shear into the hull, now I'm ready to start shaping the sides of the hull. I will continually check the shape of the hull to insure it conforms to the pattern at each station. Cheers, Tim
-
My next was to make the templates for the station lines. I did this by making several copies of the forward and aft hull drawing, then I used rubber cement to glue them to a piece of card stock. After the glue dried I cut out each template at its station point. Cheers, Tim

Give me a shout anytime! Tim

The Phantom is a good looking kit, there have been several time's I've come close to ordering it. As you can see I have enough on my plate! Tim

gulfmedic1, Are you building the kit from BlueJacket Ship Crafters? Tim
-
After much work this afternoon, the shear is almost completed. (photos to come later). The next set is to cut pattern for the station lines fore and aft, they will then be glued to a piece of card stock, this will keep them rigid and help stand up to frequent use. Tim

David, I second that! I believe the conference was a great success, the topics were very good and the speakers were outstanding! I look forward to the 2014 conference in St. Louis. Cheers, Tim

Thanks Cap'n Bob, anything can happen after an extended vacation!

Thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday! Sorry for not replying, I was on the west coast and didn't have have access to my computer. I was lucky enough to visit Mesa Verde National Park on my birthday and I'll never forget either one! Once again many thanks to all of you! Tim

Im back home from vacation and finally had the chance to make some wood chips in the shop tonight! YEA!!! I have started working the basic hull shape and the shear into the blocks of wood, as you can see from a couple views she is starting to look like a Schooner. (Boy that had me worried!) Cheers, Tim
-
Jim, you are 100% correct! Texxn5, don't hold your breath! I go on vacation starting Saturday for two weeks, I wont be back home until late on September 28th.... I'll see if I can make a few wood shavings for you guys before Saturday morning, unless one of you would like to come over and pack for me!!! Cheers, Tm Tim

The Admiral also states she likes the idea of a seporate rudder, she didn't like the looks of the rudder on the Endeavour that I finished last month. Have to keep the Admiral happy!

The Wilton Power Arms are very nice, I ended up purchasing a new one because I was never able to win a bid on ebay... They are pricy but well worth the money if you do this type of modeling!. Cheers, Tim
