ok thanks, what is the cartouche, Mike

Look great I just finished that very same model, it was my first, your is much better keep up the good work

Hi, is there a way to search build logs for a certain model, I found some several logs for a Lowell Grand Banks Dory  but lost them and can't find them they were built in the early 1800s on thanks Mike

hi sorry I forgot I even posted here, I got the boat patched and it don't look bad but the rest is awful  the inside is worse, I missed a lot of glue. Its crap even if it is my first time building in 2 years and my first wood in 50

Hi, as said PVA can be wiped up CA stains wood, I am a wood turn and i read that if you shellac an area let it dry CA won't stain the shellacked area, it works, use zizzner seal coat the bllseye has wax in it, that don't matter if the area is not going to be painted or stained

Hi, I am doing my first model in 20 years and first wood in over 50. I have a grand backs dory. I got the frame glued up and the garbord plank put on. Problem the firt one got sanded to deep and there is a big gap between thegarbord and the broad planks. This can be filled with scrap from the sheet. What kind of wood filler can I use to feather out the patch. do you have any other ideas that would work. Any advice is greatly appreciate thanks

i am not new but coming back, I started here a couple years ago when I was in the hospital. My wife got me a model Lowells dory and i just got it started and am hoping to do more I love the craft so far Mike

great build

if you don't want to use oil use beeswax  or candle wax. I also have a question. what is avs

with all the miss formed parts I think I would have contacted model ship ways and tol them you were retuning the kit and want one of better quality you have done an amazing job

I,m clumsy and drop things

thanks for your information, now i am finding ships boats and pinnace but i assume i would have the same problems as the long boats. i may end up doing a small ship

both, if a ships crew would do it it would would be realistic on a model I am going by theory that you work with what you have and a ship at sea can't go to the parts store

I have another dumb question about scale. I weather my model so when done they look like working ships. on an  18th   sailing ship question is if they need a part say a pully would they use a larger one

but with the draft the men got to go home

I  don't see how Bligh could have obtained other materials, he had what he he had. From my understanding the first island he stopped at the natives we hostile and killed a man. He never stopped again

ok thanks

I I have a dumb question, what happened t the bounty launch after Bligh was rescued

i never said i was trying to buy the model, i only wanted information. thank mike

Hi I looked at a new long boat model from Falcloet, it a company from Russsia. Do any body have any knowlede of them thanks

thank00 you roger you have answered my questions.  Yes  one o f t  life boats was for the titanic.If ordering  on linf materialse how can choose quality of materials

yes there is a model long boat titled HMS Bouty jolly boat. The life boat I refer to are for liners not ships o

no Gregory but that is one I would consider, another is the HMS jolly boat, HMS long boat. ship ways ha 3. Also there are several life boats

I found out a long boat I wanted to do is advanced. how do I tell if a model is advanced

Hi I found a long boat project in the logs tat i considered very advanced, that is what I am planning next. I am looking at long boat,, life and other open utility boats
