What Carl suggested would work. I've always used a blowtorch on low. If you don't want to heat the wire, try some enamel paint remover.

Now that is dedication to the craft, sir. I'm impressed. You might want to think about painting that whole surface before putting the wood on, maybe black also? If there's any caps in the wood pile, you'll see the white and not be a happy camper.

Welcome to MSW, Jonathas. I hope you'll start a build log as it's good way to meet people and also get help.

Thanks Bob... I'll give it a try. But I won't eat it either.

I don't copper (yet, anyway) but from what I've seen, superglue is among the glues used for this. However, there are many who say the glue doesn't last.

I too have limited space so my only comment is combine where you can. I don't have drill press but end up using the mill for most things. It does have a "handle" for manual operation so that works for the drill press.

John, Type text. Upload photos. Put cursor where you want the photos. Hit the "+" and photo should go where you want it.

That amount of detail is super incredible for a kit and especially for one that size. Amazing, Chris.

It looks like the others to me. It's good.

There were some reasons for tumblehome (the French especially) with one of the main ones (besides stability in heavy seas) was to make boarding difficult. The Great Lakes had different issues, with small yards often very temporary. A lack of shipwrights and the quick building of these ships on both sides. You may be right on your interpretation, though as drawing in many cases were "after the fact".

Being able to 1:48 would be great but for room to display them. A lot of us do 1:64 as it's a good compromise.

You might try annealing the brass. That should soften it. It will work harden as you bend it so the annealing will probably need to be repeated.
