    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.

    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

    That is so very true.

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

    Current price is 125 dollars.... Otherwise here is an option when it comes to model punch tools.

    John, I just finished reading your build log and you have done really good recovery of the build. I understand the feeling of having a model or two just waiting to be continued, looking good and I like your work set up with the windows. Here is one suggestion regarding the stand and the brass rod. I did use brass rod and brass tube for my longboat. The rod was inserted in drilled holes in the boat and the tube on the stand. Take a look at my finished boat in the gallery below. All the best to you.
