  1. Hello friends. After a long Summer break I have started building the US Frigate Essex. I used Aeropiccola's kit plan (which is already on the internet) to cut the bulkheads and the bulkhead former. I modified stern section of the bulkhead former according to Model Shipways' Essex kit plan and I added stern frames. I do not have a detailed plan so I will mostly make use Bob's (Rafine) Essex build log on MSW. Many thanks to Bob in advance. He did a great job on her and detailed build log. Here are the first pictures.
  2. What a wonderful job you are doing Robin. Congratulations.
  3. Many thanks for the likes and comments my friends. Hope to see you again in my next scratch build of USF Essex at the end of Summer.
  4. Congratulations. Great built, beautiful ship.
  5. I finished Santa Maria. Many thanks to the followers. I am planning to start a scratch build next but haven't decided yet which model it will be.
  6. Support for the lifeboat was made. I did not use the laser cut plywood supports given with the kit. I prepared the anchors and made a buoy (the kit does not contain the buoy)
  7. Hello friends. I continued to prepare the accessories. I made the barrels and a stewpot today. I used my mini lathe and a small file.
  8. OK friends, I made the stove yesterday and painted it black. The stove is not available in the kit. I made it myself.
