This might be a dumb question , but... lol I am going to build another 18th century longboat using Model Shipway , instructors and prints but will be doing it all in teak wood . Where should I post my build log ? Kit or scratch 🙈

Looking great  I really like the wood finish 

Thanks Ryland and Clifford   , for the kind words.  

Thanks scasey88

Looking good , I am considering this kit for my second build . I will follow along to see your masterpiece 

My longboat build has come to the end . Thanks to everyone who posted and viewed my build log .I am now on the hunt for my  second build . The shipyard has  put out its first boat and I learned a lot . Here is the final pics of my longboat . Please remember when looking at this beast she is my first 😉

Thanks for the clips , this is a great movie 

Hello Shawn 

i am also a noob to wooden ship models and chose the longboat as my first build as well . I expect to be done in the next week . It was a lot more challenging than I had expected but was a fun boat to build and I learned a lot already from both this forum and my mistakes. Hope you start a log so we can follow along

Yea this is going to b  a good one to watch,count me in !

The one I'm looking at is made by dremel and seems it would be handy to hold unit as reklein mentioned . Altduck check amazon they have the one made by dremel for close to same price 

Reklein is Correct , I purchased the dremel I am interested in the drill press attachment . Thanks for your input though 

Nice , did you get it on amazon , or through a hobby shop?

I just bught a new dremel and I saw a drill, pess adapter for it on amazon , it looks like it has a few options that it says it will do and the price isnt to bad . I was just curious if anyone out there owns one and if its any good . It looks cool , but doesmit really do th he job ? 

This looks like a cool build ,can't wait to see it come together . I am on the hunt for my next project as my first model is about done.

I will also have to do some touch up on paint because I seem to be tearing stuff up while rigging ..what can I say I'm a noob 🤓

Here is a update on the longboat I have begun rigging and 😮 OMG! It's way harder than I expected lol this is my first wooden model and boat and was looking for a challenge and I got it . I first thought this boat was not going to be much of a challenge, called that wrong 😳  . It has been a fun boat and I have learned a bunch doing it . I know she's not much to look at but being she is my first I will always have a place in my heart for her 😍.I hope to finish her up in the next couple weeks ,and post the final pics . But here is where I am at now 

thanks for looking

Welcome to MSW John

there are so many people on this site with so much knowledge that if you post what info you have they can surely point you in the right direction to solve your mystery ship . Look forward to hearing more 

Joe that copper looks great , the project as a whole is looking great keep it up . I will follow along with the progress. She's going to be a beautiful ship

Update on the visor...  I have had the visor almost  two weeks and have used them daily some days a hour others a few hours and not had one issue with them . I am very pleased with my purchase and would recommend them to any of our fellow modeler thanks to all for the recommendation

Welcome Aboard,  this Site is full of useful and awesome forums . Make sure you float around and check them out . There is so many ideas , techniques , and information out there check it out .

Looks good zappto, I am new as well , I started a lot smaller though in fear It would not turn out like it should . But in a short time I found that I love this hobbie , now if I can get a bit more patience lol

Nice work , I will follow along . Keep up the progress 

Then I mounted the longboat . I had not yet added the artwork to the stern or added the frieze so I did that and painted the bottom . I will need to did another coat tomorrow and mount my bow spirit , gaff and boom
