  1. How should the grit progression go when sanding the first planking? Then the second planking?
  2. Yeah, I posted before I realized that the Constellation model is the 1856 version and not the Frigate.
  3. 😆 He’s English, I understand. My wife is British too
  4. Surprised there aren’t more models of US Revolutionary warships, like the Bohnomme Richard, America, Even though that was given to France 😆. There were a bunch of 28 to 32 gun frigates of the CNS, like the Raleigh, Hancock, Virginia, Or the US Navy’s first 6 Frigates, United States (1797), Constellation (1797), Constitution (1797), Congress (1799), Chesapeake (1799), and President (1800). I know the Constitution and Constellation have models. Also the US Navy built a few ships of the line, like the independence Class Independence, Columbus, Franklin, Washington, the Chippewa Class Pennsylvania, and the Delaware Class Delaware, Ohio, North Carolina Be cool to have a few more US Ships represented.
  5. Does anyone make a tool rest for turning wood by hand on a Sherline lathe? i.e. with Chisels and not the cross slide
  6. I was looking at this one COREL HMS VICTORY CROSS SECTION 1:98. It seems to have a little bit of everything including some rigging work. Or maybe one of these MAMOLI USS CONSTITUTION CROSS SECTION 1:93 OCCRE SANTISIMA TRINIDAD CROSS SECTION 1:90 SCALE MODEL SHIP KIT
  7. Are cross sections a good way to gain experience and gain building skills?
  8. Why are there no kits of the Royal Sovereign, it was a main player at Trafalgar?
  9. OCT 31 1762 HMS Panther and HMS Argo, take Galleon Saintissima Trinidada off the Phillipines. 1860 Thomas Cochrane Dies
  10. Man, this guy has gone off the reservation. I’ve never seen anything quite like it. 🤩 WOW
  11. 77 years ago, 3 Day Battle of Leyte Gulf started October 23, 1944 The Battle of Leyte Gulf, considered the largest naval battle of World War II, begins with the U.S. submarines attacking two elements of the Japanese armada moving towards Leyte. In the Palawan Passage, USS Darter and USS Dace sink heavy cruisers Maya and Atago. Takao is also hit, but survives. Off Manila Bay, USS Bream's torpedoes damage the heavy cruiser Aoba.
  12. Imagine the HMS Victory giving you a full broadside at 25-35 meters, bad things are gonna happen😆
  13. 👋 hello, what did you fly in the Navy?
  14. Nice people here, you’ll like it
  15. Grew up in Dallas, Oregon
  16. Well after multiple mistakes, like using my gunnel piece for the floor cleats instead of the 1/8 x 3/64, so now I had to order some 1/16 x 1/16 stock😣 So I shaped my risers and one gunnel piece Used some wood filler to fill transom area, and False Stem area Ive ordered another MS Dory, I’m going to do it again after this one. Don’t feel comfortable moving on until I get this one right
  17. I’m redoing my planks on the bow and transom. Didn’t like how the turned out the first go around
  18. Started shaping the Broad Strake. I also have a question, is there a false stem in the kit? Or is that something I make out of the strips of wood?
  19. from a fellow Coloradan
  20. Anyone know what become of this guy? This was a hell of a build, like reading a novel and not finding out the end?
  21. Well here we go, my first attempts at ship building. Got the bottom put together and glued to the frame. Start planking tomorrow
  22. I use to live in Galax, VA, rode dirt bikes a lot around Taylorsville
