Guest Posted July 30, 2022 #1 Posted July 30, 2022 I'm starting a little project again to keep my hands busy while I'm on vacation. This time it's a boat based on Captain John Smith's Shallop (1608) from the Ukrainian manufacturer and my friend Pavel Nikitin. He designed this kit during the first month of the war and already sent the first batches to warehouses in Germany and Bulgaria. In order to ensure the operation of the store and not get into such trouble with orders, as happened with his store in Kyiv, which had just opened on the eve of the war... I will be building exclusively with hand tools in a shipyard that fits on a coffee table... On my YouTube channel, in the description under the video, you can find a promo-code for a discount on all products in Pavel Nikitin's store and on this specific KIT. Quote

Dsmith20639 Posted July 30, 2022 #7 Posted July 30, 2022 I was able to fill in all the fields and completed an order after filling in all the fields , but it never asked for payment. I then got a confirmation email for the order. Will I receive another email or phone call for payment? Who knows? Web site needs some work if he wants to make sales. Ship model and construction is interesting. thibaultron 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

Ship model and construction is interesting. Yes, at the moment everything is in manual mode. Temporarily, it is not possible to set up the correct operation of payments in the online store. I don't know all these technical details but you can ask Pavel. You will receive a letter from Pavel or his employees... Quote

robert952 Posted July 30, 2022 #11 Posted July 30, 2022 Thank you for the video. A good way to show the method for fairing the frames. Your videos show a lot of technique on building models. Question: Do you dilute the PVA? If so, how much? I am looking forward to this build. thibaultron 1 Quote ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Robert Chenoweth Current Build: Maine Peapod; Midwest Models; 1/14 scale.

Because due to some inconvenience - the cost of delivery is calculated manually in each case. Therefore, there is no possibility to pay for the order on the website. You will first receive a letter of receipt of the order, and a second letter with the full price together with the delivery... Quote

Hi Dave, You bring up an interesting point regarding scratch building ships' boats. I have W. E. May's book, The Boats of Men of War, Lavery has good information on boats in The Arming and Fitting, and there are great contemporary plans from RMG for British boats, but there is no book with plans on actually building model ships' boats. I have been discussing a project like this with Michael at SeaWatch and if it comes to pass, it would likely be more of a monograph with plans and scantlings on an array of boat types, sizes and eras as well as some "how-to" text and photos. Whatcha think of the idea?

Tim Murphy Posted August 26, 2022 #19 Posted August 26, 2022 I got the kit the other day. Very nice! I started the build the other day and I would say that Olha’s YouTube video is very helpful. It is a very nice kit. You have three build frames to construct the model. One for the ribbing of the kit. Another for the set up to plank the model and another that is the base but will allow you to rig the ship. The frames are made of MDF and they serve the purpose. The wood to build the boat seems to be cherry. Very nice. The line suppled is much better than most kits. I don’t think I will need to swap out this line for Chuck’s line. We will see. Those members of the NRG, and who attended the 2010 Conference at Annapolis may have seen the Shallop down at the harbor. The Sultana Project built a “copy” of the Shallop. I took a bunch of photos. Try going to this web site, www.smith trail.net/captain-john-smith/the-shallop.aspx This article has some very good info on how they built their Shallop. Hope this is of use.

Tim Murphy Posted August 27, 2022 #25 Posted August 27, 2022 One point on this build. A Shallop was built , it was built in England or Holland (eg. the Plymouth Pilgrims). The boat was to long to be carried on board Susan B. Constant or the Mayflower. The boat was built in two pieces. A forward section and aft section. So we need to put a wall amidships on the model to delineate the two half’s. Just a point to consider. Tim Murphy thibaultron 1 Quote
