Revenge 1577 by Asat - Amati - 1/64
ASAT replied to ASAT's topic in - Kit build logs for subjects built from 1501 - 1750
Been itching to start a POF model but decided to finish a couple projects that I have already started, so I’m continuing with the pear planking on my Revenge. I thought the 5mm planking provided in the kit was out of scale (too wide) so I’ve been using 4mm wide planks - takes a lot more planks but looks better to me. Golf and RC Glider flying season are still a ways off so hopefully I’ll make some good progress before then.- 65 replies

Bristol 1775 - from Warship to Prison Hulk
ASAT replied to westwood's topic in Nautical/Naval History
Are you aware that Chris Watton of Vanguard Models is currently developing a 1/64 scale kit of the Bristol? Not sure if you are wanting to scratch build but his efforts always produce the finest examples of the subjects he designs in kit form. I’m anxiously awaiting this one! -
Wow, that reminds me of the vintage (1992) Mantua SOS kit I also have waiting in the wings….looking great - I’ll move further comments and talk of build logs into your Soleil log so we don’t clutter up Kevin’s build log….

That’s great U, are you planning on doing a build log? If you do, I will definitely follow it and maybe even start one with you, that way we could collaborate on the frustrating parts! 🤔😀

So did you get the kit? I bought it a year or so ago, have been intimidated to start due to the level of difficulty and the mods/ excellent skills required to overcome the kit’s weaknesses. I started on the keel and jig assy. but had bad parts on the jig and after receiving them I haven’t started again. The keel and deadwood assembly fit is awesome, getting all the seams lined up and mating symmetrically is a challenge, nice material and great laser cutting so far….

Jim said he would be closed till mid September for a vacation/shop inventory and business or something…. Should be open now, I ordered a few saw blades from them Wednesday and received order confirmation the same day…. Don’t know if that was computer generated- have not received a Shipped notification yet though so IDK…. But the notice on the website says they were planning on re opening mid September.

Wow Yves, what a cool model and I really liked that video! Your craftsmanship shows in both of your modeling endeavors, my Father in law had a sweet Marklin layout, he emigrated from Germany in 1961, was quite the mechanic and pilot, really lived the American dream! I will continue to check in on your project! Awesome!

Amati/Victory Models HMS Vanguard, examples of natural wood finish?
ASAT replied to Esap's topic in Wood ship model kits
Not the Vanguard but the Caldercraft Agamemnon done in pear, maple and beech by Roger Antrobus at http://www.modelshipgallery.com/gallery/misc/sail/aga-64-ra/ra-index.html -
What do I want for Christmas
ASAT replied to Worldway's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Is it loud? I would like a quieter one.... -
Kevin, do you still have to mill the slots and notches for the beams and carlines in the kit provided framing beams? Is an accurate mill setup (tooling) required for this build?

Byrnes Table Saw making a 1mm by 1mm strip
ASAT replied to CharlieZardoz's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
That looks great Z... knew you could do it! Just remember on harder woods you create more heat so a little more offset at the back of the fence helps..... -
What a great solution to a lot of work and wood thrown away learning how to do it right! I think I may have to follow in your footsteps, I was wondering how I could replicate those spur beams and keep all those carlings (carlines?) in alignment.....have you asked Tom if you can get replacement decks? Or is it pretty much one of the sub kits? Lou
