Introduction

With my son nearing the completion of his Masters degree I decided to build a ship model for him.  Being a Canadian boy named Matthew, what better ship than The Matthew - the first documented European ship to land in North America, as a gift.  I have taken pictures of the whole journey but I didn't post them.  Time was short so I blasted through this build as fast as I could.  I did, however, create short videos for the model group I belong to: The Model Shipwrights of Niagara. I will post these short videos rather than a painstaking day-by-day log and will respond to any and all questions with additional pictures if necessary.  

 

I hope you enjoy.

 

Clear skies and sharp tools!

When you say 'resin', I assume you mean 3d-printed?

Yes!  I designed and printed the hull on my Elegoo Mars 5 Ultra.

 Welp, this journey gave me whiplash! :)   Nicely done, Gabe. This will be a cherished possession that I'm sure will be handed down by many generations.
