Wow! What a wonderful artefact to find while walking along the beach looking for seashells!

A ready source of boxwood for such figures is old folding woodworking rulers. I know some people think this is sacrilege (and perhaps it is) but if you go to the local fleamarket and find the guy selling old tools and other junk, he will often have some pretty beaten-up ones that are beyond their use-by date. They were made from excellent quality boxwood, too!

Lots of great advice above, so many good choices. RED JACKET was a very handsome ship, there is a good article on a model of her in Model Shipwright magazine somewhere. COMET is also a great suggestion, I haven't seen a model of her (although I'm sure there is one). Another beauty is WILD PIGEON, plans are in Chapelle's book.

Sander thickness The Hog
Tony Hunt replied to AlainB's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
I have a Vanda-Lay Hog sander too, it works fine. I bought a cheap Chinese-made hobby table saw at the local hardware chain, threw away the saw (it was terrible), and used the motor to power the sander. It's worked perfectly for many years. -

Aha, thankyou. It is planked on the mold, and then it just lifts off. Not really any tumblehome on the hull. Ingenious!

I'm fascinated by your patented plastic mold, it looks really effective. But how do you remove the framed hull from the mold so that you can plank it? Can it just be lifted off, or is there some tumblehome?

It's really starting to look shippy, isn't it? Nice save on the mizzen top.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
