Superb ! The realism of this model is absolutely fantastic ! And thank you for all these detailed explanations.

Very Nice work on these fashion pieces and a big thank you for the step by step.

Thank you 😊 I will read your build log.

Thank you for the address.

These sails are really beautiful.

Interested in knowing your work technique. 😉

The result is beautiful.This frigate will be superb !

Superb work ! This first belt is a great success !

Superb work ! A pleasure to follow ! Thank you for sharing your wonderful build.

Superb job ! it will be a good basis for the final planking. A good step taken 🙂

Superb Job, Ryland ! I really like the jig to drill the holes for the thole pins. The distance between them is thus perfectly regular. Brilliant idea !

A small step forward. I set up the fixed block at the stem.

What I really like about this project is that each step represents a mini-project in itself.

I used a small strip of wood of the right width to be sure to stick the 2 elements at the right distance and well parallel.

The bolts are simulated and the block is put in place.

One last note: with this project, you don't have to worry too much, because Chuck was generous in the elements provided.

Any part which represents a certain difficulty is supplied in several copies. In case.

Thank you all for your kind words and thank you to all the likes.

It is greatly appreciated.

Bob, I'm just trying to do my best. Luckily I am fortunate to have some great examples on this forum.

Your longboat is a little wonder and will be an example to follow when I start working on the rigging. Just follow my best.

Glenn, the building board is supplied with the kit and is also essential when setting up the frames.

I just stick it on a piece of chipboard to make sure it doesn't warp and make it more convenient to handle.
And yes, I confirm your feelings, this project is really enriching and very fun. I can only advise him.

Nice work !

Do not rush, take your time and carefully execute each step are really the golden rules and we can see the results here. Superb!

Thank you to all the 'Likes'

I added the moldings.

After temporarily sticking the boxwood strip on a hardwood square using double-sided scotch, I formed the molder by running the scraper many times over the boxwood strip until I was satisfied with the result.

Following precisely the instructions, I then carried out the mast thwart.

Finally all the elements were put in place.

As my base of blue oil paint is now perfectly dry, I will be able to work on the frieze. A lot of free-hand work ...

She looks really beautiful this molding. Very nice work.

Congratulations on this beautiful Lady Nelson. She is really superb. I am sure your Cheerful will be just as successful !

You did a wonderful job on this eagle ! And the step by step photos are really very informative. Thank you

You did very well. Thank you for sharing your methods. It will be of great help 😀

Superb ! Fairing seems really successful ! And yes, this hull has really nice curves!

Superb work Olya ! A beautiful  little ship !

Happy to see your work and welcome to MSW !

Superb ! What a magnificent Longboat model. You have done a very nice job.

I wish you much pleasure with the frigate Winchelsea. I will follow your progress carefully.

Wonderful job ! These friezes are really superb and you have managed to put them to perfection.

Superb ! A pleasure to be able to follow this build log !

The Confederacy is really a beautiful ship model.

The initial etched deck was already beautiful but your deck planking is much more beautiful.

The time and work invested is well worth it !

Wonderful job ! Having read the log again, I was wondering about the species of wood used for the deck planking: I suppose pear but for the lighter wood ? Mapple ?

Are the moldings done manually using the scrapper technique or were they made using the mill ?

The model is really beautiful. Thank you for sharing your great work.

Great book for a wonderful serie !

I can confirm that, in the last revisited edition, the small volume on 'Sail making' is included.
