Lowell Grand Banks Dory by Phez - Model Shipways - 1:24

[Phez]

Hi everyone. This will serve as my build log for the second model I am attempting to build, the Lowell Grand Banks Dory. It’s been almost a year since my last build and I was exited to get started. My job and moving to a new house kept me plenty busy since that project, but I finally managed to get a nice work area together to give it another shot. Since there was a little layoff since i completed that model, and based on recommendations here and elsewhere, I decided to purchase the shipwright combo so I had something easy to start with and step-up projects to follow it with. 

 

The first few steps were uneventful and I’ve really enjoyed the historical explanations and photos used in the manual.  That said, the Midwest stuff certainly had many more detailed drawings. The photos used in this product are also very good, but for an amateur, I really liked the detailed drawings. Oh well, so far so good.
