Daniel Dusek is trying to rework all their kits and from what I've seen on the build logs, he's doing a great job of it.

Interests and life do change over time so have fun with the piano. Like Carl, it's a pity we can't hear it. I do love the display you did.

There are about three builds of this boat. Not sure if looking at the logs will answer your question though. https://modelshipworld.com/topic/1998-sea-of-galilee-boat-by-barehook-scale-116-pof https://modelshipworld.com/topic/2302-the-sea-of-galilee-boat-by-capn-rat-fink-mario-finished-124-shell-method/ https://modelshipworld.com/topic/9951-sea-of-galilee-boat-by-wintergreen-sort-of

That is probably the reason.

Love the pictures. Beautiful trip you're having. I'm thinking that little engine might be yard engine for moving cars around.

Patrick, Maybe it's that you learned some tricks with Genesis and now don't have to have the learning curve? Sapphire looks pretty complex to me.

Thanks for the comments and likes. As brief update, the small one is being started over again as there's some issues (probably I'm the issue) with the thinness of the woods for the jig and smaller curves for the frames. I'm reworking and rethinking this as I plank the larger one. And then there's life getting in the way in good way. Ran into an old friend where I used to work and we're seeing each other.

Ron, Give some thought to tossing out that blade as you don't know how sharp it is. With Thurston being closed, you can get them from these folks: https://www.malcosaw.com/ If you don't a copy, here's this which is great for figuring tooth count vs. wood thickness: Byrnes Saw Operation.pdf

Wonderful work and the video is great.

Salty Dog, try annealing the brass before bending it. I would think that annealing would soften the brass and make it easier to roll. But by all means test on some scrap first.

Embroidery thread is rather loosely wound and fuzzy, Most sewing shops do have threads in heavier sizes than sewing machine size. Thin twine might work if it's mostly free of "frizzles". I know there's a word for that other than "frizzles" but it escapes me.

I had to go peek at my copy... there's rigging but no belaying which surprised me. If you have a copy, have a look at Lee's Masting and Rigging of English Ships of War 1625-1860. Since the rigging is in Lavery's, you should be able to trace the rigging to the belay point in Lee's.

Can you identify this feature? 19th century 1st Rates

Andy, I doubt those would have been in the bow. They were pretty big and heavy. But, you could be right. -
Looking for Serving Thread Vendors?
mtaylor replied to RBohlman's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
You might try one of the craft chain stores. I've bought some from JoAnnes but it was 35wt. It did come in other sizes, but in smaller spools and not the colors I wanted. -
questions for Artesania Marie-Jeanne Fishing Boat
mtaylor replied to legend's topic in Wood ship model kits
Mike, There's an index at the top of Kit Build Log area that lists 3 builds for this ship. I'm attaching a copy of the kit index for you. It looks like 2 are in work and one is finished. I hope that looking over the logs will answer some of the questions and more. Wooden Ships.pdf -
Steve, From the inventory, it would appear that your group has what would have been considered a "battery" back then. Having been to re-enactments when lived back east of here, it seemed like the artillery always was the biggest crowd pleaser.

If you're really not happy with the "rope", take a trip to sewing supply shop. Be sure to take a piece with you for color and size. I find they usually have all the thread in various sizes one could want and at a reasonable price.

Well see how mad he is if he does such things as "oil leaks".

Advise on a particular model-1st build
mtaylor replied to Christa's topic in New member Introductions
Hi Crista, Welcome to MSW. If you'll go here to the database, you'll find two areas that might help. One is "The Plans and Research" and the other is the "Materials and Tools" http://modelshipworldforum.com/ship-modeling-articles-and-downloads.php The articles should give you some idea of what to expect along with what you'll need. Also, there's the quick find index for kit bulds here: http://modelshipworldforum.com/ship-modeling-articles-and-downloads.php Pick the Wooden Ships one and it will download a PDF to your computer. Open and scroll down it and you'll find "Endevour J Class" builds. Those should give you a pretty good idea of how it goes together and any pitfalls along the way. When you're ready, open a build log as it's a great way to get help. Oh... and have fun. -
