I am planning on building the Mantua Mincio runabout not for my dad to have on his birthday.

In anticipation, how does one simulate the white caulking..? A bit of a mystery for me..! 

Planking and painting done on one side

Title says it all! Hopefully my next build after my Lynx

I’ve seen some fantastic fittings on here so thought I would share one of my own!

Here is one of the completed cannons on my Baltimore Lynx.

Finished cannon!

Starting work on the cannons..! Extremely difficult nailing the fixtures on as it can crack and split the side of the wooden frame.. but first one is almost done! The kit’s instructions also have some errors in the building of the cannon frame and wheels, so I used a piece of planking wood as the base.

Drilling the passage for the bowsprit! I only had a 4mm drill bit, so I used that and then used a small burr to enlarged the circle size needed

Thank you very much  am trying! It’s my first model ship so it’s been an incredibly steep learning curve.

I’ve been working on this with my partner for the last few days; the outer planking is starting to come together and we’ve finished the deck!

Pretty much the above...! Would love one day to build my own real thing

I did so about an hour ago! The deck is now finished 😁

Hello!

I am a new member here. Not new to modelling, but I have just started my first model ship, the Boston Lynx Schooner, which I am building with my partner together.

I love the idea of build logs to share our work, and perhaps even get some feedback to help improve.

Modelling has always been a passion of mine, and this is a wonderful forum, with some stunning ships people have made!
