Nonsuch 30 by palmerit - Model Shipways - 1:24

[palmerit]

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.

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 🙂

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.

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.
