Will be now looking for what to build after the Sherbourne
-
I had tried the Dory and that is part of why I got stuck , plus some of those directions where not very clear to me with some of the first steps. Yes some of those pieces are way to flimsy.
-
Thank you I emailed them and they told me that. Impressed that they answered me in under 5 minutes.
-
I emailed them and asked, they said they have a shipment on the way soon from England and should have some next week with any luck. I also found this on youtube, He has made a bunch of videos on the Sherbourne. I did notice in his video some of the wood sheets are rather thin, I would not want to accidentally break parts. Guess just have to be really careful.

are there any decent boat keel building jigs? I see billings jig but do not see any place to buy it.
-
Looks like a nice model, If I get that I will have to order from the UK. Seems ageofsail has that model as out of stock.
-
Think I might go with titanic by occre has a line of videos to help it will keep me busy for a good amount

About 2 years ago I had tried the Dory but totally messed up in the start of the kit and it ended up in the trash. I should try again and this time I did find the youtube video on step by step on the dory.

Hi all Would like to give this a try, I had made a attempt a few years ago but did not get very far. Had looked at Occre Bounty boat and found a couple videos they made on building it. Figured a good video could be a very helpful thing but there video has no audio what so ever or subtitles or anything like that. Any sugjestions for a beginner. On there site if you search for beginner it was showing me the Santa Maria, Looks like a nice kit but it is over 200 dollars. Would like something that will teach me and the directions are half way decent and not to to expensive. What are the basic tools I will need?

Thank you, Just looked on Model shipways the only one that I can not seem to find is the Niagra in a search for the kit. Maybe the stopped making it? -
I am a new jack and looking for a future big project. What tools are needed for this build? How hard is this ship to build? How difficult to make the parts not supplied with the laser cut parts you can buy? How much are the installment sets? Andrew

Any idea what these installments cost? No idea since his store is offline at the moment but would be nice to know about what they cost. Also I see people using some kind of jig to hold up their work as they start to build. What jig is that and where to find? Andrew -

Hi Allan thank you for this info Little hesitant on his models since they do require some scratch building. Do they come with the drawnings of the parts I would need to make that are not included? Or information out there on how to make the parts not included? -

Also anyone heard of tapatalk? Is it possible to use it with these forums? Have not found these forums on the app but in a search almost looks like a few people have used it. -

After the Dory and the two other beginner kits what is a good kit to look at? Would love to at some point build one of the tall ships but not sure what one. Possibly one can get in sections so do not have to lay out several hundred dollars at once to buy the kit. Not sure how many have kits that you can buy like that. Andrew -

Thank you for the message and I replied. Thinking about one of the ships that Columbus sailed with or any ww2 ships in wood kits? Andrew -
Located in Virginia about half way between DC and Richmond. Looking to get into Wooden ship building but have never attempted a model build like this before. Good kits to look at that wont break the bank. Also nothing to small as I have big fingers and the eye sight is not what it used to be, Nothing to big as only have so much room lol. Also What tools and good places to find them? Andrew
