Ed, I admire your mindset in that you repost the complete log of the building of Naiad. Since I've followed you since the early beginning of this log in the old MSW I kind of know how much you've put into this. Hats off!

I read that Fredrik Henrik af Chapman had his model chamber set up with full time model builders some where 1770-1780. In Sweden he was the "founder" of the navy's model collection. A few models did however exist before that, but he organized it and made it a job to be an employed model builder. On one of the models the plate states it was built by a 2nd lieutenant and a sail maker in 1793. I have not researched any further.

Hi Sinan! Looks like you're off to a good start there. 1:72 vs 1:48, you don't make it too easy on yourself with that scale on the other hand, some details can be left off. At 1:48 I guess one wants to put in as much details as possible but at 1:72, some things can be "forgotten".
-
Looks like you're slowly on the go there Joss. Thanks for posting your progress. Inspirational. And take your time with the plans. I think its worth it in the end (or beginning, depends on preference, planning or building...)
-
Oh, that was a sleek little boat. Will there be oarlocks and oars too?
-
I could really use that left-hand workbench (being a leftie myself) but I am soo used working right-handed so I dont mind anymore. Still astounded by your build Mark. Its just, wow

Ar u calling me names? Mr "I can build a boat that's named as candy"...Sir??? :D

Pictures John, eyh? Well, here are a couple. How about that for being a teaser... Oh, sorry, must have missed the object slightly... Oops, that was a bit out of focus, but at least it is a good close-up of a cloth peg Sorry guys..

Patience man, patience! What's another day or two, when I've put up this for +20 YEARS Want to get it right, y'no...

I really hope so, Robert, I really do. :mellow:

So, work continues slowly with the dingy. Current state is that the garboards are on. And the next strake under way. But no pictures of that. Here is at least a picture of the backbone and the rudder. So you get something for checking up this post
-
Haha! You know what? Your scratched capstan looks much better than the supplied one! Good to see work done without a mill also..often you think you need a mill to get things right. You have proven otherwise

Apart from the ship I like your rustic looking kitchen table About the ship, coming along nicely there Per. -

Thanks Alfons! I have a couple (or three) up my sleeve... The fun thing is, I was made an offer last night, but I have no more information at the moment, so stay tuned

Glad to see this build log back also! -
Splendid stand Daniel! One might think that you are the brain behind the new Cutty Sark display....

Full scratch popeye I don't trust the supplied wood after 20 years on shelf...

It takes a special kind of mind to redo so much stuff of the kit...and I like it. A "Hip hip, hooray" for you Daniel!
