yamsterman got a reaction from Mfelinger in sloop of war by yamsterman - FINISHED - 1:48 - from Model Boats plan c. 1996
found some more pictures of current build.should bring things up to date. almost ready to start rigging.will be using chuck passaros blocks and rope.
already used some of chucks cannon barrels on scratch built carriages.absolutely superb qaulity turnings.
will also be using chucks lantern kit as a final stern embellishment.
postman brought my latest kit this morning,direct from model expo in florida . rn pinnace based on chucks prototype. should be an interesting build.
also have just subscribed to deagostini for their hms surprise kit.this will form the basis of a heavily modified kit build.some of the components are crude to say the least. i was intending to build this as the refitted ship circa 1798? hence the purchase of the original draft from the nmm.wont be starting this for another 12 months or so, lots of planning to do first.

this will be my first scratchbuilt project.based on a set of plans first published around an article in modelboats cica 1996 by a chap called peter danks. (myrmidon man?)
apparently this vessel was originally built for service on the great lakes of north america during the america war of independance.
built around ply wood bulkheads on a similar system to some of the billing kits ie in two halves.
wales planked using 3mm x 4mm beech.
all other planking in lime wood.
various fittings will be in a mixture of other timbers including boxwood,ramin.
