DaveSchmidt Posted November 15, 2020 Share #1 Posted November 15, 2020 This will be my first build log and my first build not from a kit so take it easy on me. I've built several ship models from kits (both plastic and wood) and I've never been satisfied with kits. After chucking down my cash I get a kit with trash for wood and metal carvings that are barely passable or an outdated plastic kit. After reading through lots of your logs and seeing how helpful Chuck is I decided to jump in. So here we go. Got my bulkheads all cut and my slip built. Everything is just dry fit while I wait on my chapter 1 laser cut parts. Yea I know bulkhead #1 is missing, I have to re-print it and cut it again, had a little mistake on the scroll saw.

Chuck Posted November 16, 2020 Share #3 Posted November 16, 2020 Nice start! You go slow and steady....but remember to have fun. The biggest issue will be resisting the urge to speed along....just keep it slow and steady.

DaveSchmidt Posted November 18, 2020 Author Share #5 Posted November 18, 2020 Received a package today from Chuck and got a few things assembled. Parts fit very well, I'm impressed with the accuracy of the laser cut parts and I"m even more impressed with the quality of the wood! Fantastic stuff!!

DaveSchmidt Posted June 5, 2021 Author Share #7 Posted June 5, 2021 I had to step away from the build for a few months. Life just got busy and I had a million things to do. Im setting up a new work area now and I'll be back on the project in the next few weeks. Ive missed building and having to look at the model knowing I just didnt have the time has been a real killer. I'll be posting progress again soon. Dave Stuntflyer, Nirvana, FrankWouts and 3 others 6 Dave Schmidt Previous builds - Artesania latina Endeavour. Panart HMS Victory. Corel Vasa.

DaveSchmidt Posted June 11, 2021 Author Share #11 Posted June 11, 2021 I think I have a nice smooth run on the strakes. Also got the transom faired the best I can. Chuck, does the fairing on the transom look ok to you? If everything looks OK I'll plank the counter and start the whales.

DaveSchmidt Posted July 4, 2021 Author Share #13 Posted July 4, 2021 I've made a little progress since I've been able to work on her some.

Chuck Posted November 16, 2021 Share #21 Posted November 16, 2021 Those scarph joints were quite long...yours is nice and tight, but not nearly long enough. It should probably be three times as long. But really nice work so keep going.

DaveSchmidt Posted November 16, 2021 Author Share #22 Posted November 16, 2021 Chuck you have a sharp eye. I see it after comparing it to the deck plan. I don't know if I wanna change it now as I have all but the last margin planks glued on the model. As you said in the instructions, there's a good chance they won't be visible. Chock another one up to lack of experience. The problem with experience is you get it after you need it. Lol Razer and FrankWouts 2 Dave Schmidt Previous builds - Artesania latina Endeavour.

Chuck Posted November 16, 2021 Share #23 Posted November 16, 2021 I agree then....but do remember this when you do them for the qdeck and fcastle. Those will absolutely be visible.

DaveSchmidt Posted November 18, 2021 Author Share #25 Posted November 18, 2021 Chuck I was thinking about what you said about my joints being too short and I agree after looking at deck plan blueprint but I used the margin plank patterns as a guide for my joints. I snapped a pic of my joint next to the pattern. I see where the confusion happened. FrankWouts 1 Dave Schmidt Previous builds - Artesania latina Endeavour. Panart HMS Victory. Corel Vasa.
