Yeah Augie is doing a great job on it!Should turn out very nicely!
-
Well I am happy to report that I did not screw up my Swift ,so I am confident i can succeed on my next build.Not ready for the WASA or tHe Victory but on my way!
-
Basswood is easier to work with,fine grained too!Do you plan to add bulwark stiffeners?
-
Yeah its about right!
-
Nice clean work.It is comming along nicely.
-
1/2 price is a great deal!Now i have to save up and hope that the sale is still on.What is the website for ME?I am not familiar with it.Unless you mean Model Expo!I know about that!
-
Yes it looks like the syren is a perfect choice!
-
I was looking at Augie's build of the Syren and it just may fit the bill!The approach to framing the gun ports seem well thought out and logical.
-
Thanks!I'll look into the fly.is it tricky getting the gun ports installed ?
-
Yeah when i finished my Scientific Sark(which has a solid hull)I was itching to do a pob .Now it is time for a warship!
-
Yeah i am really liking that ship.Now I have to save the cash to buy it.How much does the Surprise run and where is the best place to buy it?
-
Yes i do!Both in the build logs and completed models section.I wonder if the armed Virginia sloop might be a good choice?
-
Yes !Since i am a big fan oif the movie Master and Commander i might choose the HMS surprise.Now that would be a challenge!
-
No replies really!You guys disappoint me!
-
Thanks!Now I look forward to my next project....when I decide what It shall be!
-
Having finished up my Swift I now want to step up to a multi gun-decked 18th or 19th century warship.The kit must be POB,have good instructions ,and have high quality components.Any ideas?
-
Ok!Looks like she is done!Not bad for my first pob build but overall I am pleased with it.The next project will hopefully lead to great things to come!

Cut and routed the base board.i made a oak cartouche for a nameplate.
-
Before I cut and rout the baseboard,I made an oak cradle that will hold the Swift on the base board.
-
The kit did not include any decals,so I spelled out the name in vinyl stick on letters in a curved orientation on the transom.I clear coated them to make sure that they do not peel off in the future.
-
Yes it would not do to have it damaged,
-
Yeah!I wonder if I can make a rolling cradle to make it go up and down the ways as if it is being launched.Now that would be cool!
-
Thanks!I am thinking of making a launch way as a topper to the oak base I intend to use.How does that sound?
-
Added Old Glory to the main mast and she is nearing completion.
