18th-Century Merchantman Half Hull Planking Kit by JacquesCousteau - NRG - 1:48


Recommended Posts

 I'd refer to the Bob Ross aspects of "happy accidents' on the outcome of the plank colors.  I agree, brings out the planking job very nicely.

Robert Chenoweth

 

Current Build: Maine Peapod; Midwest Models; 1/14 scale.

 

In the research department:

Nothing at this time.

 

Completed models (Links to galleries): 

Monitor and Merrimack; Metal Earth; 1:370 and 1:390 respectively.  (Link to Build Log.)

Shrimp Boat; Lindbergh; 1/60 scale (as commission for my brother - a tribute to a friend of his)

North Carolina Shad Boat; half hull lift; scratch built.  Scale: (I forgot).  Done at a class at the NC Maritime Museum.

Dinghy; Midwest Models; 1/12 scale

(Does LEGO Ship in a Bottle count?)

Thanks! Despite some issues with fairing and figuring out the stern/counter, I've found this to be a very fun and worthwhile kit that's definitely taught me a lot. I'd highly recommend starting a build log, and I'd be happy to try to answer any questions.

That is my plan. I am finishing my Dory, and will start the Norwegian Pram and the half hull
