Bill Hime Posted November 3, 2013 Share #1 Posted November 3, 2013 This is the opening day of C.W. Hime Shipyard! As previously discussed, the Admiral completely re-arranged our living room to put the shipyard front and center. I know the dust issues, having been a cabinetmaker and modelrailroader. I'm confident we can handle it with dust control methods and some more involved sanding taken place in the garage. Most importantly, I'm ecstatic to share this journey and part of my heart with my wife, Sateash and all the new friends we develop here at MSW 2.0! So as promised, I'm going to attempt to load the before and after pics of the living room become shipyard: Quote Passion is Patience...and I am a carpenter in any scale.

Sateash Hime Posted November 3, 2013 Share #2 Posted November 3, 2013 Wow! That is such a huge change! I love the before and after pics! Eventhough I have been able to have the luxury of watching it all develop before my very eyes, I didn't realize how dramatic of a difference it made to enhance our living room! You are an amazing man and I am blessed to have you as my husband I can't wait to have those shelves loaded with shipbuilding tools and work through the progress together. I love you Bill Hime!!!

Bill Hime Posted November 3, 2013 Author Share #4 Posted November 3, 2013 Kits not here yet. But many things to research and creating a list of things I want to incorporate in this build.

Sjors Posted November 3, 2013 Share #5 Posted November 3, 2013 If I understand it correctly, you order the kits? And now you have to go for a search of tools you needed? When you go to a modelshop be sure you have enough money with you The first time I went to that shop, it cost me almost a fortune. There is so much that you want but not always need When you get started I'll be at the first row to see. And before anyone else beats me on this....I love pictures !!!!!!!!!! One question...do you have space for a popcorn machine? We like to watch but also love's popcorn !

gjdale Posted November 3, 2013 Share #6 Posted November 3, 2013 Hi Bill, After reading your lovely wife's introduction yesterday, I just had to drop in and say hi to you both on your new build log. Looks like you've got the space sorted. Now all we need is the model kit! I'll look forward to following you on this build. I'll sit down front next to Sjors and make sure he behaves himself. Just make sure you post plenty of pictures to keep Sjors happy!

Looks as if we have another team on board to rival the Anja/Sjors duo The workspace looks great. I like the good lighting --- very important. And you can handle the dust with your experience!

Bill Hime Posted November 3, 2013 Author Share #10 Posted November 3, 2013 Good morning everyone! Welcome to the C.W. Hime Shipyard Sjors, No the kits are not ordered yet, but very very soon! We invested a bit of cash in the materials to but together the shipyard this week. And yes, Sateash setup a nice corner for the popcorn machine! I have quite a few hobby tools I'm going to dig out today and start organizing and make a list of things I know I'm going to need yet specific to shipbuilding gjdale, Thank you for the warm welcome! There will definitely be a lot of pics and details of every step. I think that is the only way to get good input in this first and very challenging build. Augie, Thank you, the work space sure is more than I expected to have to start with, no excuses there, lol! I sure do have a lot to live up to following your footsteps and the detailing of your build log. Thank you for being a huge inspiration to me! Mobbsie, Thank you, and bring on the banter! I love the comradely that I've seen displayed here at MSW I also said I was doing a side build. I've elected to do the "Pride of Baltimore 2", by Model Shipways, 1:64 scale. A very sleek and beautiful ship with a neat history as well. Any thoughts on this choice are more than welcome. I will start a build log for the "PofB2" when I actually receive the kit. So here's my immediate question, where is the best place to order these kits from? Does it make a difference being in the U.S.? What kind of time should I expect to wait for them to arrive? Also, best place to order lumber, i.e.. boxwood, limewood, ebony, etc...? Once again, thank you to everyone! Sateash and I are so excited to take this journey with all of you!

Trussben Posted November 3, 2013 Share #11 Posted November 3, 2013 Hi Bill, I look forward to seeing you start the Confed, my build is on hiatus at the moment but should be restarting in a month or so, I'm at about the halfway point on my Confederacy, also check out Rustys and ChrisL scratch builds of her. As for ordering the models, model expo sells the kits in USA and has discounts now and then that can be up 60% off. If you are looking for really good quality wood check out jeff@hobbmill, awesome stuff. Ben Bill Hime 1 Quote Current builds: HMS Pegasus TFFM. HMS Winchelsea.

augie Posted November 3, 2013 Share #12 Posted November 3, 2013 For MS kits, I think Model Expo is the way to go. Shipping rates are reasonable, and they've always given me excellent service on missing or damaged parts. Shipping is about a week from the time you order until delivery....provided the item is not back ordered. As far as wood, I've only used Jeff @ HobbyMill and I can't imagine anyone doing it better. Haven't built Pride of Baltimore but she's a beautiful schooner at a nice scale. You'll learn a lot from her.

Bill Hime Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share #13 Posted November 4, 2013 So we spent the day getting together all my modeling tools.

capnharv2 Posted November 4, 2013 Share #14 Posted November 4, 2013 Hi Bill, Sorry to be late arriving. Welcome to MSW. I think you'll find Pride of Baltimore 2 to be a satisfying model. I built it about 10 years ago, and enjoyed it so much I got another one. It's also a good one to get your feet wet on. I thought about getting the Confederacy, but I enough projects waiting to be built. Besides, for every kit I have and build, it puts a scratchbuilt model that much farther out. Nice collection of tools there. I also like the ship on the big screen! Thanks, Harvey Bill Hime 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
augie Posted November 4, 2013 Share #15 Posted November 4, 2013 Looks like you have it covered. Just need a 2 man crosscut saw and you're all set. You'll pick up specialty tools as you need them. Don't forget glues and lot's of sandpaper for sanding blocks/sticks. THINK SMALL !

Sjors Posted November 4, 2013 Share #16 Posted November 4, 2013 Wow Bill, Are you sure you want to make a model and not a real ship ?????????? The tools that I see , I think they build the Titanic with that It's just what Augie is saying....think small !!!!!! I think that the most important tools that you can use is a set of small file's, little clamps,Exacto knife ( scalpel or a set that you can buy complete with different knifes ) small hammer ( no sledge hammer.) wood glue sandpaper and a lot of enthousiasme !!!!!!! Then it comes all together. You told me that Sateash has make room for the popcorn machine. Ok, here it is I hope she will found a nice place for it.

Bill Hime Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share #18 Posted November 4, 2013 Harvey, Thank you for the warm welcome and the input on the Pride of Baltimore. It looks like this kit will arriving first and I can't wait! Augie, Sateash and I were just looking at a collection of 2-man saws at a local museum. I think I know just which one we need ! Glues, clamps, and sanding is first on my list. Oh and a micro sander. I'm very good with my hands but I want the control of that tool. I have a dremel, but I don't see much use for it but perhaps in a drill press attachment. Sjors, I got so excited, I forgot what scale I was working in ! Yep popcorn machine is here. Now we just need the kit! I will start a separate build log for the Pride of Baltimore when she arrives!

ASAT Posted November 4, 2013 Share #19 Posted November 4, 2013 Hi Bill, welcome aboard!! get yourself down to Harbor Freight and get some needle files, a bunch of small clamps, the really small drill index they offer, and a set of the mini pliers.... it has a pair of nice needle nose, dikes, curved and long-nose pliers etc, and if you want to splurge they have a pretty good combo sander - disc and belt - it's no Byrnes machine but it will do ya for a while.... if you haven't checked out Byrnesmodelmachines.com you need to, if you are gonna get serious about this hobby you will be a customer of his sooner or later for the price to buy ready to use upgraded wood for a behemoth like Confederacy you could probably get his saw and thickness sander (well maybe) and they will last you for the rest of your modeling career - all you need to do is buy the wood.... but that is only if you want to mill and replace the wood that comes with your kits.... or heaven forbid, join the dark side... which judging from your prior posts about passion and excellence .... you will....just say'in. Looking forward to joining you in your journey.... Blessings to you and your bride.....
