Tava14226 Posted May 15, 2020 Share #1 Posted May 15, 2020 hi everyone. wanted to introduce myself. I have experience in woodworking (humidors, checker boards, Etc). For my first build I am looking at Artesania Latina 19015 1/50 HMS ENDEAVOUR'S Longboat. My question is, what tools do I require? is there a pre-boxed starter tool kit that I can purchase? with planking screws, plank bender, files, Etc? thanks in advance for any info you can provide!

mtaylor Posted May 15, 2020 Share #2 Posted May 15, 2020 James, Welcome to MSW. As far as tools go, have a look here: http://modelshipworldforum.com/ship-model-materials-and-tools.php The first 3 posts should help get you started. Also, go to the kit area and this topic is pinned to the top. Download the kits list and have a look at what others have done. When you're ready, open a build log and above all else... have some fun. druxey, allanyed and JeffT 3 Quote Mark "The shipwright is slow, but the wood is patient." - me Current Build: Past Builds: La Belle Poule 1765 - French Frigate from ANCRE plans - ON HOLD Triton Cross-Section NRG Hallf Hull Planking Kit HMS Sphinx 1775 - Vanguard Models - 1:64 Non-Ship Model: On hold, maybe forever: CH-53 Sikorsky - 1:48 - Revell - Completed Licorne - 1755 from Hahn Plans (Scratch) Version 2.0 (Abandoned) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duanelaker Posted May 15, 2020 Share #5 Posted May 15, 2020 Welcome from a fellow New Yorker! I think the tool kits are over priced for what you get, so be careful! mtaylor 1 Quote David Builds in Progress: Phantom Pilot Boat - MS Completed Builds: Bounty Jolly Boat - AL Chesapeake Bay Crabbing Skiff - MW Grand Banks Dory - Bluejacket The Dinghy - MW Grand Banks Dory - MW 32 Pound Carronade - MS Skiff - MW Peterboro Canoe - MW On Hold: 18th-Century Merchantman Half-Hull - NRG Ponte Berlin - Corel Taurus Steam Towboat - MS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I'm aware of but then I did my kit close to 15-16 years ago.
