  1. I am 7 miles east from Derby city in a small town Draycott
  2. Thanks for all suggestions, I will have a think and will probably have a go at something over the winter months.
  3. Thanks Thunder I have just started a log on here but not a lot done yet due to work and time restraints
  4. After rummaging about in the attic for my paints, glue etc I came across this poor girl whom I thought had been consigned to the bin years ago. My question is can she be saved and given a makeover.? Any suggestions and tips would be greatly appreciated.
  5. Hello all, after reading several build logs here I thought why not, so here is mine. This is the first time I've built a wooden kit so this will be a bit hit and miss so please bear with me. So far I've just dry placed bulkheads and bevelled bow and stern ones.
  6. Well the box has arrived and as soon as I can find a hour or two I will attempt to put the bewildering array of parts together. I have already been through the list of parts and all are present and correct. I'm hoping for some plain sailing and not too many squalls!!
  7. Thanks Gregory, I'm in England and after all advice I've got on here I think it definitely be an armed cutter with double plank. So once again thanks to all
  8. Hi James I have read this build upto date and Mermaid looks like she's going to be a nice little vessel. Unfortunately I have no tips to offer as I'm yet to start anything but hope to soon Happy modelling
  9. Thanks for the thoughts on my question. Although I have not built a wood boat I do have some experience of modelling from scratch, mainly scenery for wargaming you know buildings, rivers, trees etc... I have been reading some of the build logs on here and have been drawn to HM Cutter Sherbourne as she seems to fit my brief and will give me some experience with rigging a mast and yards. So thanks to all on here.
  10. Hi I'm new to model building in wood though I have modelled plastic kits and was wondering which kit to go for (I would prefer a naval brig or cutter ) I would be grateful for any input Thanks
