mtaylor Posted June 26, 2019 #2 Posted June 26, 2019 Welcome to MSW. MSW has a wealth of resources here, including build logs. Goto the Kit area and there's a topic https://modelshipworld.com/topic/17023-quick-find-indexes-to-build-logs-for-kits/ that has a list of all the builds. It will help you. Also, give some thought to opening a log as it'll be the best way to get help when you need it and also make some friends here.

Jim Lad Posted June 27, 2019 #4 Posted June 27, 2019 Hello, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'. John mtaylor and RBohlman 2
spars Posted June 27, 2019 #5 Posted June 27, 2019 I, too, am starting a New Bedford whaleboat, my second try. First was more than a disaster. I found some really good video footage on youtube about whaling and whaleboats, however I am not computer literate so I have no idea how to attach them. You can try New Bedford whaling as a start.

RBohlman Posted June 27, 2019 Author #6 Posted June 27, 2019 (edited) You might want to check out The White Whale, the New Bedford Whaling Museum for some great source books & materials. https://store.whalingmuseum.org/collections/museum-publications Here is a book that has a lot of Whaleboat information ~ I purchased a copy and love it! Hope this helps ~ Rich Edited June 27, 2019 by RBohlman Add more information BETAQDAVE and mtaylor 2 CURRENT BUILD: HMS Winchelsea, 1764 ~ 1:48 scale COMPLETED BUILDS: New Bedford Whaleboat ~ 1:16 scale Ships in Bottles Models Card Stock Nautical Models ~Donor & Member of Nautical Research Guild~

Bill Tuttle Posted June 28, 2019 #9 Posted June 28, 2019 Welcome Rich, Another great book that I used to construct small boats for a whaling ship is To Build a Whaleboat: Historical Notes and a Modelmaker's Guide Hardcover by Erik Ronnberg. I think this is available on Amazon for less than $15.00, This is an excellent book by an excellent modelmaker. Good Luck! mtaylor and RBohlman 2 Bill Current Build: Kate Cory Scratch Built Previous Builds: Benjamin W. Latham Scratch Built H A Parks Skipjack Scratch Built Charles W.
