    Amazing kit from AL, wish I had the money to build such a model. It would be a master piece to show of at home and model meetings. How many hours are estimated for this build? Please visit Therapy for Shipaholics...... 😆

    The 500 year old Baltic sea wreck was published in 2019, finds found her to be a merchant ship. Origin of the ship still unknown.

    Very much a copy of Syren's ropewalk tool. I have been using Chuck's and am highly happy with the results.

    Loss of life is worse than loss of properties as they are replaceable. Glad to hear you and family are okay. A good friend lives in Florida and lost his home, but he is fine.

    Vytautas, my warmest welcome to MSW! My heritage is from the Swedish and a long time ago I had a relationship with a woman from Klaipeda. The Baltic sea is amazing,,,,,,

    Erik and all, don't despair. A similar tool can be found through UMM-USA. Here is the link for them, as for quality I have no idea. Look for GMT 01, 02, 05, 06, 07. About mid page.

    My sincere sympathies to you and family. It is always hard to lose a family member.

    Ron, just adding my 2 cents as well. I would suggest staying away from AL at the moment. Instead go for Syren Ship models or Vanguard. Both the instructions but plans are easy to follow.

    As for Proxxon, here is the link. PROXXON UK

    Mark, you are right no.3 is just the piece in the puzzle lengthwise. I printed it out and it is a perfect match.

    To me it looks like that some of the frames aren't in the correct location. It has happened me that the plans vs. the bulkheads aren't labeled correctly. I would double check that first. Good luck.

    Terve Antti, I would recommend you build Constellation as per AL plans and instructions. Trying to go aside the provided information could/would just give you headaches. On a side note, I built the Harvey from AL, but frustration led to a Viking funeral. I wasn't too happy with the plans and instructions. I saved remaining material for other projects. Good luck with your build, I am looking forward seeing your build log. Onnea mallin rakentamiseen. Siitä huolimatta on tyydyttävää työskennellä käsilläsi.

    Very nice printing Mike, I also have one of the Corvettes under printing.... mine is not 1/700 scale. Mine is larger and will be R/C

    Highlander, warm welcome to MSW. The Bounty launch is a good start project. And since you are a "Highlander" meaning you are "immortal" you have time to build all the kits you would like to.

    Greg, that milk must be very sour by now....😆

    Tervetuloa Olli, Välkommen Welcome!

    How small do we really need them? I am really surprised by the outcome of resin printing. I know resin printing can do really nice detailing. But this is amazing.

    Hi Chris,

     

    I am very much looking into getting the Sherbourne.

    The manual is already downloaded which I am reading to get me familiar with the model.

    But as you write in the introduction, she was a 6 x 3pound with 8 half pound swivel guns.

    In the instructions it doesn't mention where the proper locations would be.

    Do you have bulwarks patterns for the 6-gun setup?

     

    Thank you in advance.

      Hello Nirvana,

       

      Regarding swivel guns, they would be placed where needed at any particular time. Regarding the 3-Pounders, same applies, but I would place them in the last three gun ports.

      Chris, 

       

      Thank you for your information.

       

      I tried to find some history regarding her. But no such luck.

       

      Best regards

      Per

    That is so very true.

    I want to build one of the ships so badly, but my current stockpile is my issue.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal.
