  1. I just picked up the Model Shipways Longboat kit from a yard sale. Kit was opened and laser cut pieces were cut from the sheets. After doing some research, everything does seem to be there. Now my question for anyone who is familiar with this kit. There are 2 pieces for the keel and 2 pieces for the stem and rudder. Do these pieces get sandwiched/glued together? I see no mention of this in the instructions. Pete
  2. My attempt at a ship's wheel for the flying bridge. Made with an O-ring, some straight pins and some beads for the handles. It's 3' in diameter from tip of handle to tip of opposite handle at 1:48th scale. My old hands don't have the dexterity to go much smaller.
  3. Alan, It looks like issue 16 is not available to non-members yet. I will keep an eye out. Thanks Pete
  4. My next step will be figuring out how to create the ship wheels from scratch at 1/48th scale. Any suggestions?
  5. @FlyingFish…and there would also be a wheel in the “wheelhouse”? BTW - the detail on the Orca is absolutely amazing.
  6. My next question regards the structure(?) on the wheelhouse roof.as shown below: These plans are based upon a fictional lobster boat from the comic strip "Non Sequitur" by Wiley Miller. In the images below there is a shop's wheel up there. Is this correct or is it artistic license? (I hope I'm not breaking any copyright rules here)
  7. Thanks for looking. I will have some questions regarding how to proceed in my next post. Pete
  8. First I want to thank Chris Coyle for his help in moving my previous posts in the "Ship Plans & Project Discussions" forum to this build log. Below are the photos of my progress thus far.
  9. Thank you so much. Saved me a lot of work. Pete
  10. ...and I would like to rename the post
  11. I want to convert my post "Fishing Boat kit from German company" to a build log under scratch-built
  12. Can I move or copy a thread (that I started) from one forum to another?
