Dsmith20639 Posted December 7, 2020 Author #31 Posted December 7, 2020 yes, but it appears to be rather feeble. I was going to try using my woodworking profile duplication tool to copy the profile of the hull at two points about 25% from each end and then use that to make my own stand. I'll try the kit version first to see how steady it is. Thanks for the kind comments. My next project will be something simpler for a change of pace. popeye the sailor and robdurant 2 Quote Current build: Armed Virginia Sloop Previous Builds: , Amati Fifie, Glad Tidings,Bluenose II, Chesapeake Bay Skipjack, Fair American, Danmark, Constitution Cross Section, Bluenose

Dsmith20639 Posted December 13, 2020 Author #35 Posted December 13, 2020 I was just part way through building the brig Fair American when I got engrossed with finishing the Danmark, so I will take up that where I left off which was planking the hull. I'll probably start a new build log for that now that I have some experience with keeping a build log on this forum. I was reluctant in the beginning due to a lack of experience and being intimidated by the quality of some of the builds on this site. robdurant and popeye the sailor 2 Quote Current build: Armed Virginia Sloop Previous Builds: , Amati Fifie, Glad Tidings,Bluenose II, Chesapeake Bay Skipjack, Fair American, Danmark, Constitution Cross Section, Bluenose

Silver49 Posted May 19, 2021 #37 Posted May 19, 2021 Hi I have come across a model of the Danmark that is in need of a lot of TLC. I was wondering if you wold have a copy of the build manual that i could purchase from you. I can send you a picture of the model it is about 40 inches long and i would like to restore it back popeye the sailor 1 Quote
Dsmith20639 Posted May 19, 2021 Author #38 Posted May 19, 2021 Sorry, because of space constraints and to try and minimize clutter I periodically throw out old plans and manuals after a ship has been built. If I still had them they would have been yours at no cost, but unfortunately they were discarded a couple of months ago. Hopefully the photos from my build log will be of some help. There were multiple versions of the kit produced over the years. The one I built was from a kit that was over 30 years old. Later kits had life boats instead of ship boats like mine, etc. I will be happy to try and answer any questions you may have. The build manual I had with the kit was not much help as I remember. I relied mainly on the plans. I do have some pdf files especially rigging details and construction diagrams for a later version of the kit that I can email to you if you can provide me with your email address. popeye the sailor 1 Quote Current build: Armed Virginia Sloop Previous Builds: , Amati Fifie, Glad Tidings,Bluenose II, Chesapeake Bay Skipjack, Fair American, Danmark, Constitution Cross Section, Bluenose
Dsmith20639 Posted May 19, 2021 Author #39 Posted May 19, 2021 I tried to send you some info. Let me know if you got it and I will send you more. If you click on the D in a circle it will bring up a page where you can send me a personal message. Just found out how to do that. Safer than posting address. I think that's what its for. popeye the sailor 1 Quote Current build: Armed Virginia Sloop Previous Builds: , Amati Fifie, Glad Tidings,Bluenose II, Chesapeake Bay Skipjack, Fair American, Danmark, Constitution Cross Section, Bluenose
