Some leftovers from a previous project, probably Sherbourne, which I finished over twenty years ago. That's the only time I can recall replacing the blocks in a kit. I got them from Lloyd Warner. At the time, that was the only source I could find for 2 mm blocks. AJohnson, catopower, thibaultron and 3 others 6 Quote Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

Christiaan Hendrickszoon Posted September 12 Share #123 Posted September 12 It looks fantastic! I just ordered one to build myself, so i'm going to use your report as a reference. It will be my first paper model, so im curious to see if i can build an acceptable version of it. ccoyle, thibaultron, catopower and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christiaan, you can look at the test building here: You can also watch a tutorial on FB. It shows the construction of another model, but it contains a lot of advice related to the construction of a sailboat hull from cardboard. Although you won't find basic advice there (how to cut cardboard with scissors or a scalpel), you will certainly see how to "use" paper, how to shape, how to retouch, etc. (Axel Thorsen 1810 - step by step) Greetings Tomek Edited September 13 by 0Seahorse ccoyle, Keith Black, Dave_E and 3 others 4 2 Quote Greetings Tomek -------------------------- Wydawnictwo "Seahorse" "Seahorse" on YouTube "Seahorse" on Facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christiaan Hendrickszoon Posted September 13 Share #126 Posted September 13 (edited) Thanks for your help! I'm going to look closely at how it should be build and the tricks on how to use paper. It's going to be more challenging than the two wooden ships i've build so far. Paper seems a little less forgiving. Bare with me 🙂 Edited September 13 by Christiaan Hendrickszoon Canute, Keith Black, thibaultron and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccoyle Posted September 15 Author Share #127 Posted September 15 I got around to turning and staining the masts -- all two of them. A dowel for the jackstaff is included in the spar set, but the finished staff would be so thin that I'm planning to just replace it with painted styrene rod.

ccoyle Posted September 15 Author Share #129 Posted September 15 Masting and rigging is underway. Glued boltrope to foresail and laced it to foremast before gluing foremast into hull. I had a lot of trouble doing the sail hems neatly, which is why it has kind of a curled bacon look to it. 😬 I plan to do Phoenix bare-poled.

Quality-wise, she didn't quite make it into "must be cased" territory (and that's a comment on my workmanship and satisfaction with the end result, not a comment on Tomek's design). Plus, because she is so darned tall, she would need a custom case ($$ cha-ching $$).
