    Another small step, the last one before the first planking. The hardest part was maintaining proper symmetry. Cheers!

    Small update after the weekend. The false deck required a careful approach, but I managed to fit everything correctly in the end. Have a great week!

    I've pre-bevelled the bulkheads and glued the first parts in place. I’ll share some photos once this stage is complete. Thanks for all the encouraging comments! Actually this VM model reminds me a lot of the new generation of paper model sailing ships (like Seahorse, Shipyard or WAK ones), except it's made of wood and MDF. Caldercraft is more like classic wooden kits. I am following your build log. Good luck with the rigging! Thanks, your HM Cutter Alert is very inspiring. I also painted some WH40k figures Thanks! I can see there are a lot of helpful people on this forum. I'm really glad to be a part of it!

    Yes, I actually bought the Armed Virginia Sloop from them. Really nice and highly detailed kits. Still, I personally prefer wooden sailing ships over card models. There’s also Shipyard from Poland – they make both card and wooden kits. I’ve seen a few build logs of their models here on the forum.

    Hello, These are the first steps of my HM Cutter Sherbourne build. The kit looks fantastic in the box: lots of detail and high-quality parts. So far, the hull skeleton went together perfectly – everything fits like a glove. This is my first wooden sailing ship model. I don't have a lot of time for modelling these times, but but I’ll try to post regular updates—even small ones. I expect the hull planking and the rigging will be the trickest steps for me. Wish me luck – and feel free to share any tips or advice! I’ll definitely appreciate it. 😊

    Thanks, I will post my first log in few hours, i have recently started HM Cutter Sherbourne from Vanguard Models. Witam! Looking at your Mig-15, your skill at paper modelling is very good. I am not very experienced paper modeller, but I am huge fan of it (unfortunately it takes a lot of time to finish a paper model and many mistakes are not reversible). Also as many guys from Poland my modelling adventure started from paper modelling (famous Polish 'Maly Modelarz').

    Greetings modellers. I am quite experienced in plastic and paper modelling, but a rookie in wooden models. As a huge fan of history, wars at sea and pirates fiction it was a matter of time when I will start to build sail ships. Unfortunately my main issue was workplace, but finally there are some kits that actually don't require a lot of woodworking so I can build them at my flat. I invite you to follow and comment my build log. Kamil
