Hueydriver Posted April 26, 2021 Share #1 Posted April 26, 2021 Hi folks. I've been building period ships for some time now (Admiralty board model of HMS Halifax, several kits etc.) and have branched into half-hull models for the past bit. Always looking for new ideas on building and specifically the history behind the real vessels. This forum seems to be a wealth of same.

bruce d Posted May 1, 2021 Share #11 Posted May 1, 2021 Hello Kirk, welcome to MSW from the UK. Your models look good. I especially like the half-hulls: makes me want to dig out the drawings I made a year ago for a half-hull HMS Union. Looking forward to seeing a build log. Regards, Bruce mtaylor and Keith Black 2 Quote 🌻 STAY SAFE A model shipwright and an amateur historian are heads & tails of the same coin current builds: HMS Berwick 1775, 1/192 scratchbuild; a Slade 74 in the Navy Board style Mediator sloop, 1/48 - an 18th century transport scratchbuild French longboat - CAF - 1/48, on hold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
