    Chidokan got a reaction from Canute in To help kit developers and kit builders alike-What would you like to see developed for the hobby.   
    two things for me....
    I live within driving distance of whitby and hartlepool, and we have local famous boats like Endeavour (done already) and the Redcar and Whitby lifeboats, along with Trincomalee. I wonder if the linked shops would do well selling replica kits, especially the lifeboat? I did think that the RNLI could make money from this if they did a series of early lifeboats, same at Trincomalee museum? Would you buy one? One of these days I will get around to modelling the Zetland, kit available or not...

    Chidokan got a reaction from mtaylor in Korean Turtle Ship by AntonyUK - FINISHED - Scale 1/32   
    from my friend in Korea....
    Anyways, this is one good website I found:
    http://xn--v69ass944a3gcpygusa09vqud1t9b.kr/3story/story_01_2.html
     
    Also, you have found more useful pictures when using Korean to search on google. Please try this:
    https://www.google.com.sg/search?q=%EA%B1%B0%EB%B6%81%EC%84%A0&espv=2&biw=1152&bih=592&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&sqi=2&ved=0ahUKEwiq-NahqNfRAhVMM48KHQG2BHcQ_AUIBigB#tbm=isch&q=%EA%B1%B0%EB%B6%81%EC%84%A0+%EB%8F%84%EB%A9%B4
     
    If this does not work, try copying and pasting this into the search bar:
    거북선 도면
    It translates as “Geobukseon drawing”, Geobukseon is basically the turtleship.
     
    from the links, looks like this ship is the equivalent of the mary rose! If you use google chrome, it will translate into english (badly, but you get the drift!)

    This has internal shots... I like the hats hanging up! Hope it inspires you to get back to the workbench!

    thanks for engine info, can let you know shortly.... I was thinking of doing 3D models of the engines I make in 1/72, as there is a couple of boats in that scale.... I repowered an old MTB a couple of years back and airfix make the kit, so would like to make it for my desk at work.

    are you making the engine? Reason I ask is that I have worked at Cummins in the marine section for over 30 years and am wondering which one it is!

    Chidokan got a reaction from AntonyUK in Korean Turtle Ship by AntonyUK - FINISHED - Scale 1/32   
    just walking past a desk at work today and spotted a turtle ship in a case (will send a pic later) that looks like the kit you got...
     
    A chat revealed STX, a Korean shipbuilding customer, helped build either a replica or rebuild ( we didnt know which). It may well be the one in pics on internet. I have a couple of contacts there, so will see if I can get some pics of the build.... however unless you intend to copy the modern one exactly, I dont think you need to fit a Cummins K19 engine, which is what they have done to avoid using the oars! (reminds me of the 'Endeavour' copy at Whitby )

    I would like to see 'crew members' so as to help give a clue as to scale.. I find some on wargames figures websites,  but the general kit scales do not often match these... be nice to have sailors looking like they are altering rigging etc.
