PvG Aussie Posted December 10 #1 Posted December 10 After finishing the USS Enterprise CV6 a month ago and not knowing what to do next, I decided to build something my admiral found on the internet. A metal, approx 1/100 scale, pirate ship. The box tells me it will only take twelve hours, so I will take my time and record the build for member's sake. According to Wikipedia, Queen Anne's Revenge was an early-18th-century ship, most famously used as a flagship by Edward Teach, better known by his nickname Blackbeard. The date and place of the ship's construction are uncertain,[3] and there is no record of its actions prior to 1710 when it was operating as a French privateer as La Concorde.[4][5] Surviving features of the ship's construction strongly suggest it was built by French shipwrights, based on differences in fastening patterns in the late 17th and early 18th centuries.[6][7] After several years of French service, both as a naval frigate and as a merchant vessel – much of that time as a slave ship- she was captured by Blackbeard in 1717. Blackbeard used the ship for less than a year,[8] but captured numerous prizes using her as his flagship. The kit arrived in a flat (10mm) 230X125mm box. It contains 439 pieces supplied in 8 sheets of PE. It has 86 very detailed stages of construction, clearly set out on paper. It requires no glue, paint or solder. The size of many of the pieces suggests it will be a challenge for anyone not having a magnifying glass light and a steady hand.

PvG Aussie Posted December 11 Author #3 Posted December 11 AFTER 3 HOURS Lots of tiny bits. The deck is 97mm/3.819" long. Pieces include a staircase, barrels, buckets, vents, boats, some 'other' things and more 'other' things. Tedious but quite rewarding.

PvG Aussie Posted December 12 Author #4 Posted December 12 AFTER ANOTHER 3 HOURS (Total 6 hours) Progress is made. What amazes me is the detail of this model. I've added what I think is going to be the quarterdeck, cannons, stairs, a larger boat with lashings, and more 'other' things. Thanks for your encouragement and 'likes'.

Hi Patrick, the scale is NOT indicated on the box or instructions so I think the model will be around 130mm and the original ship was 31.4m. Problem solved! Scale equals 1:241 say 1:250. 😁 GrandpaPhil and Baker 2 Quote PvG Aussie (Peter) Started modelling Jan 2022. Joined MSW March 2024. Quote: Rome wasn't built in a day!
