CapnCarss Posted February 5, 2022 #1 Posted February 5, 2022 Hi Chaps. This is my first wooden ship model. I have done a few plastic ships, but the wood was calling me, so here goes! I'm pretty far along on the hull now, but any comments, critique, suggestions of questions are well welcome! Will post more pics as the build progresses! DanielD, BenD, Cathead and 4 others 6 1

Etcher Posted February 6, 2022 #4 Posted February 6, 2022 This is a kit I’m interested in building. The only thing that puts me off is the odd shaped hull. During builds it always looks like it’s wrong! CapnCarss 1 Darren Current Builds: Berlin Tram by OcCre Lady Eleanor by Vanguard

During builds it always looks like it’s wrong! I know what you mean. She's s bit "pot bellied" and at times I thought I had the hull formers in the wrong order! She comes good though! Ryland Craze 1

This is my first wooden ship so trying to keep it straight OOB for the meantime while I find my feet! Having said that, I'm here to learn. Ryland Craze and Knocklouder 2
CapnCarss Posted February 15, 2022 Author #7 Posted February 15, 2022 A bit more progress on the Terror... Most of the main deck houses done. Pinrails done. Deadeyes and chains done. Masts coming along... Really enjoying this kit! As always, please post questions, constructive criticism, suggestions etc... R. P.s. apologies for the messy work area!

CapnCarss Posted February 17, 2022 Author #8 Posted February 17, 2022 More bits and bobs... Deck structure and bow details... clearway, Ian_Grant, ccoyle and 1 other 4
CapnCarss Posted February 18, 2022 Author #9 Posted February 18, 2022 (edited) A few more bits done. Bowsprit rigging and a few shrouds on the foremast... Progress is slow but steady... Edited February 18, 2022 by CapnCarss Spelling Ian_Grant, Knocklouder, clearway and 1 other 4
CapnCarss Posted March 11, 2022 Author #10 Posted March 11, 2022 More progress... Added the remaining deck furniture and the shrouds have started. I'm tying the ratlines by hand. They just look so much better that way. The foremast yards have been done as well but are not shown... Slowly but surely she's coming along... Cathead, Geowolf, Ian_Grant and 2 others 5

Feathermerchant Posted December 5, 2022 #19 Posted December 5, 2022 Beautiful model. Where are you located? My reason for asking is, the President Rutherford Hayes Presidential Library at Fremont, Ohio is looking for a model of either the HMS Resolute or HMS Terror for an exhibit that will run from March 2023 to June 2024. Kevin Moore, is the curator with the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Library & Museums in Fremont, Ohio. They are currently working on an exhibit on the history of arctic exploration in the 19th century. President Hayes received the Resolute Desk from Queen Victoria, which has been used by nearly every president since Hayes. The Resolute Desk was constructed from the timbers of the HMS Resolute, the ship that was dispatched to search for the lost Franklin Expedition. Their upcoming exhibit will use that connection as an opportunity to explore the broader maritime history of the arctic. If you are open to sharing your model with the Hayes Presidential Library for a year, let me know and I will have the curator contact you. Thanks...........................bill
