adivedog Posted August 9, 2014 #31 Posted August 9, 2014 Russ Great job on the skiff. I'd like to try one of them sometime. I see what you did on the oarlocks. Good idea Quote John Current build Swift by AL Completed build Dinghy by Midwest

drl620 Posted January 9, 2015 #33 Posted January 9, 2015 Sir, I am a recently retired shipyard worker and want to get into building some locally relevant ship models like the oyster skill, lugger, and most of all like the Biloxi Schooner. I can't seem to find any ship plans that I can scale down to use. Any ideas? thanks for your time, Doug Quote
russ Posted January 9, 2015 Author #34 Posted January 9, 2015 Doug: I just sent you a PM.

SawdustDave Posted January 9, 2015 #35 Posted January 9, 2015 Russ, I really enjoyed this build log. Well done. Looks like it would be fun for about anyone.

russ Posted January 9, 2015 Author #36 Posted January 9, 2015 Dave: Thanks. This is a really enjoyable, simple, short term build. This is a weekend project if you want. You can take as much or as little time with it as you please.

Siegfried Posted July 29, 2017 #38 Posted July 29, 2017 Hello Russ, wonderful build. It is a good example how interesting a little tiny vessel can be for modellers. Bravo. Daniel mtaylor and russ 2 Quote Cheers, Daniel In dockyard: HM Colonial Schooner for Port Jackson (scratch), HM Armed Vessel Bounty, HM Cutter Sherbourne Next builds: HMS Victor 1797 & Gannet 1814 Cruiser class sloops, ship and brig rigged (scratch)
russ Posted July 29, 2017 Author #39 Posted July 29, 2017 Daniel: Very true. These little boats can be built with just a few tools and some store bought basswood. Using spare time, they can be built in a week or two.
