I saw a badge on the end of the catheads on the outboard profile. It looked like a crown, so I made one for the port side and glued it to the end of the cathead. I’m not the greatest at drawing, but I think it came out okay:

Proxxon jigsaw or a scroll saw
GrandpaPhil replied to Edwardkenway's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
I originally started scratch building just to see if I could. I didn’t think that my first scratch building project, the Prince de Neufchatel, would get finished. I had a blast building the Prince de Neufchatel. It was the most fun that I have ever had building a model. I’ve been finishing my Mantua Victory from the AOTS plans, so it will be about half scratch by the time it’s done. The only power tool that I really use is a drill. My coping saw, my scalpels, a couple of machinist scales and my pin vise are my work horses, so the cost of tools wasn’t really an issue for me. -
Congratulations! Well done!

Codice translates to code in English. That could be the original manufacturer’s part number. You might be able to get the exact lengths directly off the inboard profile if there is any question of how long to cut them.

The frigates would be cool.

Absolutely! Welcome aboard! I’ll start making sawdust as soon as I finish the Victory. I’m about halfway done with the Victory now.

I like the cheap glue sticks. I get a four pack at the Dollar Tree. They work great for glueing plans to wood.

Looking good!

The Victory coming out of the weekend: I’m making progress!

I’m sorry to hear of this. My condolences to his family and friends.

Oops. I did not think of that.

Model Shipways is a good starting point. They will replace any part for any reason, your fault or theirs. The Model Shipways Sultana was my first real ship model. I really enjoyed building it. I’ve heard really good things about Bluejacket too, but I’ve never built any of their kits. The gentleman who runs it, his username is Mr. Bluejacket (real name Nic), is on this forum.

I did mine the same as the carriages with black around the outside of the wheel to simulate the iron banding.
