Kit Build Logs 1750-1800

Just a thought...Are there enough logs on this model to justify a 'Group Project' thread?

Nothing at this time.

I'm not sure where to put this. I'm a beginner, so don't flame me if I get it wrong. This is a complete build. I started with tlevine's half-hull project and created the opposite half of the frame to make a complete hull. Last summer I posted photos somewhere on this website. So now the ship--I suppose it could be labelled a scratch build--is finished. Since the hull project seemed 1750-1800ish in form, I used the Halifax and Sultana to generally guide me in my first project. I learned a huge amount going at it with hammer and tongs without benefit of plans. So here she is, and thanks much to the Half-Hull Project to get me started.

The half-hull kits are still available.  Use the link on the MSW home page - The black line of topics immediately under the Model Ship World name - click on NRG Home Page - 4th to the right - and check out the NRG store to find the kit and ordering information.

The kit has not increased in price since it was introduced.  Shipping,which we have absolutely no control over is another situation entirely.

Take care,

Kurt

I have spent the time reading through this trail from the start to finish and must commend Toni for not only the tutorial but also helping starters with their questions. Certainly has explained why I didn't get the finish I was hoping for with my current build of AL's HMS Bounty's Jolly Boat. Thanks to all contributors whose questions helped me understand the techniques and terms. So I have decided to buy the Model Shipways Shipwright 3 Kit Combo which I can purchase locally and avoid the international shipping costs (click and collect so no delivery cost) to improve my skill level. When I start where would I post the build log? 

And finally tips that I learned from a master painter that may be of use to somebody. When painting more than one coat you can keep the brush from drying out by wrapping in cling wrap (he did this at the end of each day and only cleaned the brush when finished with that colour). When cleaning the brush he rinsed it vigorously in a bucket of water and then left in a sugar soap solution before giving it a final wash out. The bristles on his brushes were still soft and pliant after much use. I leave my brushes in the solution overnight before final clean and dry and keeping good so far.
