Glen, Thank you very much! I found out about that trick on this forum. Legos make excellent quick customizable jigs and temporary cradles. I bought a box of 1000 bricks and then a couple of those small suitcase type starter sets from Walmart when they went on various pre-Christmas/Easter sales. They have been immensely useful on several different projects. Also, they make a great square for traditional POB construction. They are 90 degrees, especially when built into a block and can be clamped into place, thus ensuring square construction of a POB hull. OC, Thank you very much!

The railings and other small pieces are made and installed on the mine launches: The rudder structure shown in the instructions/plans won’t fit on the boat in the cradle. I cut that structure off once I realized. Once the boats dry I will paint and seal them. Then, I’ll make the flag masts for them and lay them down in a storage configuration. After that it’ll be time for the rowed ship’s boats. Then I’ll finish painting the cradles and get the rest of the yards and running rigging installed.

Orel, HMV and Schreiber kits are still available on Amazon. Hopefully the other card kit sellers figure out the tariff situation and adjust their shipping policies/prices accordingly.

I would also enjoy painting that set on its own. Those miniatures look incredible!

Lol! @ccoyle was one of the significant influences to my getting into card kits!

Making good progress on the 40’ mine launches: It didn’t come with the keels/rudder assemblies, so I just made my own: I still need to make the bilge keels and a bunch of railings. Maybe I’ll make a couple of quick three bladed props while I’m at it.

Card makes a great substitute for PE. It works beautifully for railings, ladders and gratings! You just have to coat both sides in sealant prior to cutting.
