Doris is one of MSW's talented artists and she has done some video tutorials on sculpting with clay. Those could potentially help you too...http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/854-royal-caroline-by-doris-card-1749-140/?p=18230 I've done OK with sculpting my details using clay, and I'm sure with more practice I'll do even better. -
Make sure to put up a build log, we'd all love to see what you've done with the Mare. Running out of wood is really common with kits.

MIke, I liked that boat, but I think that even with the shipping the Model Expo longboat would be more fun to do....You can give Model Expo a call and see if they have alternate slower (less expensive) shipping for overseas...(They have high shipping costs stateside too, part of what you are paying for is their amazing service) however I will say that the Jolly Boat is a neat little build. Good luck, and make sure you put in a build log when you start!

beautiful model, beautiful dog!!
-
Your sea-faring history is neat and when adding to the model's history this is going to be a great build to watch!
-
Absolutely amazing. That was, I think, the first time I saw a ship in the neck other than for fitting.
-
hahahaha I hear you . It is tiny. I messed up and had to break my bonds and re-do a few parts. I'll have updates tomorrow. I also realized I missed a bunch of railings. I guess that part would have been useful to include in instructions. Really it is just a diagram that shows where bits go.
-
Sorry to hear of the devistation but you did a great job catching it and recovering.
-
And that is precisely why my canons are glued down!
-
Rebecca, you'd probably be more interested in the other type of metal ship like harvey sent a photo of - these don't require glue (remembering your sensitivity to CA glue) try black pearl metal ship in ebay and you'll see what I'm talking about - these are SUPER fun.

Uhoh looks like I've been a bad influence again! hehehehehehe Thanks for looking in guys, and I hope your builds of this lil gal go well we'll have the smallest fleet in the world! I made a little more progress before heading to work today. I put a facia plate on the back of the 3rd and 4th layer. Then I put on the next layer with it's top. It has railings so I had to bend those upward Then the next layer (with more railings) Because of the limited amount of detail due to this tiny scale this is moving along fairly quickly. As far as the giant penny, I truly do feel like I am somewhere in alice in wonderland.

Just going off the diagram name and what my plans called out for the HL.... -
I love the cute green ship! Have you started your build log for the rattlesnake or are you still working on getting that up?
-
Dave it was nice meeting you - your ship is just as beautiful in the photos as it is in real life.

Actually when I was searching for a less expensive kit of it I came across your blog version and bookmarked it Thanks!
-
Beautiful work on the bedroom details! Keep it up.
-
Sorry to hear about all the misfortune, but I'm glad you are able to persevere. Keep up the nice work.
-
I had to go back quite a few pages to see the great pictures everyone was talking about - you really are doing a nice job!
-
looking really great - can't wait for the next installment. I do like the sign you made.
-
silly silly man no they aren't reallllly that bad - I felt a lot of satisfaction doing mine.
-
everything is beautiful - though you may be what you consider a beginner I think you are a fine craftsman. Your changes and upgrades are fantastic.

Looking good Wayne.
