catopower Posted March 20, 2020 Share #2 Posted March 20, 2020 Good choice. Looking forward to seeing you get started on it! I started the Phantom as my very first wooden ship model. I was building plastic ship model at the time. But, I enjoyed working in wood so much, I never went back to the plastic kit. That was close to 30 years ago (wow). Good luck with your build! popeye the sailor 1 Quote Clare Hess He's a -> "HE" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrandpaPhil Posted June 15, 2020 Share #11 Posted June 15, 2020 I haven’t built this kit, but I did build the Model Shipways Sultana, which is a solid hull. I recall there being templates. I would recommend lining them up and trying to fit them before deciding on what needs done. Also, remember that wood filler works wonders (I have used a lot of filler in my models) if the gouges penetrate below what needs removed during final shaping. popeye the sailor 1 Quote Building: 1:64 HMS Revenge (Victory Models plans) 1:64 Cat Esther (17th Century Dutch Merchant Ships) On the building slip: 1:72 French Ironclad Magenta (original shipyard plans) On hold: 1:98 Mantua HMS Victory (kit bash), 1:96 Shipyard HMS Mercury Favorite finished builds: 1:60 Sampang Good Fortune (Amati plans), 1:200 Orel Ironclad Solferino, 1:72 Schooner Hannah (Hahn plans), 1:72 Privateer Prince de Neufchatel (Chapelle plans), Model Shipways Sultana, Heller La Reale, Encore USS Olympia Goal: Become better than I was yesterday "The hardest part is deciding to try." - me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragzz Posted June 15, 2020 Author Share #12 Posted June 15, 2020 I have the templates so I will go through that first but and if I have to use wood filler well that's what I'll use thank you very much for the reply Grandpa GrandpaPhil and popeye the sailor 2 Quote this is my dry docks side build hms victory/corel http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/4698-hms-victroy-by-dragzz-corel-scale-198/ side build waiting on parts /king of the mississippi/ al kit http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/3490-king-of-the-mississippi-by-dragzz-al-scale180/?hl=%20king%20%20the%20%20mississipp current build mare nostrum al kit http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/8125-mare-nostrum-by-artesania-latina-scale-135-by-dragzz-small/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragzz Posted June 17, 2020 Author Share #13 Posted June 17, 2020 It seems that I have found my problem I got a hold model ship ways they say that they've added wood to the Keel into the stern extra wood during the manufacture process so I have to adjust and make ensure that the hull is the same length and width with the templates that I have I'll have to take some off some areas at the front and in about an eighth of an inch at the back will bring it down the size and the width so when I'm done everything should look fine see how it looks when iam done in Popeye the scale is 1/8 popeye the sailor 1 Quote this is my dry docks side build hms victory/corel http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/4698-hms-victroy-by-dragzz-corel-scale-198/ side build waiting on parts /king of the mississippi/ al kit http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/3490-king-of-the-mississippi-by-dragzz-al-scale180/?hl=%20king%20%20the%20%20mississipp current build mare nostrum al kit http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/8125-mare-nostrum-by-artesania-latina-scale-135-by-dragzz-small/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popeye the sailor Posted June 18, 2020 Share #14 Posted June 18, 2020 sand it down to see if it decreases the damage........then plank over the hull. by doing so, you can go a little beyond the excess material limits. actually. if you wanted ti try something out of the box, cut off the bulwark material, and scratch build the bulwarks after. judging from the damage on the starboard side and the transom, it might be another viable choice you can make.
