Seguin by Phil B - BlueJacket Shipcrafters

[Phil B]

I started building my model of the Seguin a few nights ago. I read through Rods entire build that he posted a number of years ago. It gave me the courage to get this project started as I have had the kit for quite a few years. I remember seeing a built-up version of the Seguin in a hobby shop many, many years ago with my father and always thought that it was a grand vessel. So here I am taking a stab at it. I know some have failed but I do have some experience in building model ship kits and scratch building. So armed with Rods excellent build log I feel pretty confident that I can do it. Here is a picture after a few nights works. Wish me luck!

That's a fine looking tug, Phil. Should build into a nice model.

Good luck with your build.  

Take your time with that stern post assembly - it is more complicated than it seems, it might be worthwhile to tape together the parts that make it up until you are sure you have it right before glueing it together. If you look at my build log bear in mind that my sternpost had to be heavily modified to accept a stern tube for an RC setup, yours will not need those modifications but it is still a bit of  a 3-D puzzle
