What a work of art! Very impressive. What scroll saw do you use? We have many of the same mini machines…. Tony -
Fantastic build! I am buying PE and such for mine, nice to see a good example of how to build it.
-
Watching some videos. I get what I am attempting to build, now I am quickly realizing one needs 5 very small hands.....
-
Best book out there! It seems to be my go to.....
-
I have been at this for about a month. Getting to the point beyond my experience, rigging.
-
Here we go!
-
Plans are not much! Build log coming. Should one use bees wax when rigging?
-
Modified a bit. Some of the kit plan did not seem realistic and some did not fit properly.
-
Thanks all for feedback!
-
This is basically a training kit. If I wanted truly accurate I would scratch build or get more accurate kit. (Assuming there is such a thing) This kit was on sale and had additional discount applied. Wood ships and boats are such fun to build! Very challenging. Never rigged anything before, I have built several small boats and have current build of brig going. Model Shipways seems to actually be a tad better, especially if one paints ship.
-
This looks pretty much like the kit.
-
This is actually a nice looking little boat, I have been almost fanatical about quality. Still missed a bit on planking, but it looks fine! Only I will notice flaws.
-
Thanks. I assumed it was totally inaccurate. Small boat! Real boats use I-bolts?
-
On the hull?
-
Seems to be close to what is called a naval sloop or Bermuda Sloop. I am getting way this would work in real life. Blocks attached to little brass “I bolts” seems wrong! This is worse than model trains!

I think it is just a inaccurate kit. I will post more details later. Thanks, I reached same conclusion or question. How to reach upper mast to secure sail. Also I do not know all the proper terms! More reading in order 😉
-
Is this close to how a real boat would be rigged? Looks like mainsail would be furled to mast......?.??
