Casey

I found this in MEGA Hobby Web site , hope it helps

I’ll place my order this coming Thursday then. It looks like a very well made and easy to use machine.

I was trying to buy this unit from the web site and there is no order here icon/button that i can find on the entire web site. As I browse this forum i get the impression that Chuck our administrator is the owner of the company. If that is true is there a way I can order this unit. If he is not I apologize for my misunderstanding, Any help would be appreciated. thanks

Thank you very much Dr PR this is great I really appreciate the information and all those links.

Hi all my name is Jerome Casey, I am recently a retired Emergency 911 Paramedic of 40 years in Delaware County PA. I have always worked with wood as side jobs to including building homes , additions and restoring old furniture. a skill taught to me by my father. When I was a kid i always loved building models, plastic back then and mostly cars and planes. Shortly after I had my first couple of kids the wife and I were in the model/hobby store and I saw this wooden ship model of the EMMA Sidmouth 1815 and loved the the idea and the challenge. I started to build the hull, taking my time and doing a lot of research and reading and was very please with the outcome to that point. I now had three kids and 3 jobs so the ship had to take a back seat. I packaged it up and stored it telling the wife that it would be my retirement hobby and i would finish it at that time. She laughed thinking i was not serious and threatening to throw it away from the garage every time we cleaned the garage out. Well the jokes on her I retired and now have a work table set up in the basement and have been working on it ever since. I will add some photos of how far along I am at this time and i will be finishing it hoping in the next 3 to 4 months. I also have learned a lot about technique and processes in this first build and believe that my next one will benefit from this learning experience. Anyway thanks to all that replied to my first topic. Any suggestions for any level of improvement would be very much welcome. Jerome

Hi all I am new to model ship-building and have a couple of questions. I am building the Constructo EMMA Sidmouth 1815. I started this ship over 20 years ago and once the hull was complete I had to pack it up and store it away as Life (Kids , Work) all got in the way. Well Kids are grown, I'm now retired, so I set up a table/work station in the basement and pulled the ship back out. I am very please on the progress. It is really starting to look very nice but I am at a road block. I do not know all the names of the ship parts yet but imagine I will be learning them as time goes on. There is a cannon in the amidship of the deck that sits on a pedestal and rotates 360 degrees. Can someone please tell what is this cannon is called so i can look it up to help me with the building of it as the instructions from constructo are pretty lame to say the least. Also I have tried looking up this ship on google and as far as I can tell there is no documentation of this ship other than from constructo as a model kit. I have read where not all models are real ships of the past and may be nothing more than a representation of ships of that era. If this ship was a real ship can someone help me in pointing in the right direction to find out more about it. Thanks you for any all help.
