palmerit Posted January 4 #1 Posted January 4 (edited) This model is from David Antscherl. Among so many other things, he designed the Model Shipways Shipwright Series kits (Dory, Pram, Smack). This Nonsuch 30 is a more modern sailboat as "Another in a series of progressive model tutorials". I bought it last year during a deep Model Expo sail for 1/2 price as a model to follow up on the Shipwright boats I completed last year. I'm going to try to finish a couple of the other models I'm working on in parallel, but I am opening this one up early because sometimes I just want to do some sanding and gluing. This is a fairly new model kit compared to other Model Shipways kits, having come out in 2022.

Ronald-V Posted January 4 #2 Posted January 4 There was a review here on MSW and I really liked this boat when I saw it for the first time. Will be nice to see you build it! Have fun 🙂 Admiral Rick and palmerit 2 Build log HMS Sphinx 1:64 Vanguard Models Instagram page "ronaldcreations"
palmerit Posted January 5 Author #3 Posted January 5 Starting on the frame. This kit is oddly made in half hulls that are later glued together. The Nonsuch is a fiberglass hull, which the instructions say is why the hull can be assembled this way - lots of filler and sanding will later be done for a smooth hull. yvesvidal, Admiral Rick and Bryan Woods 3 Current Builds: San Francisco Bay Scow Schooner (Midwest Products), Gunboat Philadelphia (Model Shipways), Zulu 'Lady Isabella' (Vanguard Models), Maine Peapod (Midwest Products), Sakonnet Daysailer (Midwest Products), Nonsuch 30 (Model Shipways) In the Queue: Oseberg (Ships of Pavel Nikiten), Endurance (Occre), Syren US Brig 1803 (Model Shipways), Duchess of Kingston (Vanguard Models) Completed Builds: Lowell Grand Banks Dory (Model Shipways), 18th-Century Merchantman Half-Hull Planking Kit (NRG), Norwegian Pram (Model Shipways), Endurance (Lego), Muscongus Bay Lobster Smack (Model Shipways), Grand Banks Dory (Midwest Products), Sherbourne 1763 (Vanguard Models), Ranger 1864 (Vanguard Models), Chesapeake Bay Crabbing Skiff (Midwest Products),
Admiral Rick Posted January 5 #4 Posted January 5 Onboard following the build. I have looked at this kit numerous times. I enjoy working on more than one boat ie ships at the same time. Keeps me from getting bored. Best Rick palmerit 1
