Davy Jones Posted January 3, 2014 #1 Posted January 3, 2014 I wonder if anyone can help me. i Have the Lexington Brig by Mamoli, And i'm sure everyone knows that the insructions and pictures they provite are vague to say the least. So i was wondering if anyone knows of any ship build logs that i could follow While trying to build my own. I have got part the way through the 1st layer of planking. But am totally stuck to the rest of it, Here is a pic of how far i've got. Thanks in advance. Davy. coxswain 1 Current Build Mamoli. Lexington American Brig. 1/100 Scale
mtaylor Posted January 5, 2014 #2 Posted January 5, 2014 Davy, I'm not sure what problem you're having. Anyway, go here: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/forum/14-building-framing-planking-and-plating-a-ships-hull-and-deck/ and look at the first three Pinned posts.

Davy Jones Posted June 6, 2020 Author #3 Posted June 6, 2020 Its been a long time. My Lexington model has sat in my closet since Febuary 2014 as the instructions for it were not as helpful as they should be, and RL problems and stuff getting in the way, so I basically gave up. But now with this Virus thing hapening I brought her out of mothballs and started learning, researching ie looking a lot of other modelers builds. But I could never find anyone who built the Lexington by Mamoli. untill i happened apon Zappto's build. Thankyou Zappto for posting great pictures of your build, They have helped me greatly. so i started again. This is where i am upto. About a weeks work. mtaylor, lmagna, coxswain and 2 others 5 Current Build Mamoli. Lexington American Brig. 1/100 Scale
mtaylor Posted June 7, 2020 #4 Posted June 7, 2020 Looking good. Why don't you open a build log on her?

Davy Jones Posted June 7, 2020 Author #5 Posted June 7, 2020 Thank's Bilge Rat. Not sure about a build log though, Seems like a lot of work looking at some of the other craftmens build logs on here. mtaylor 1 Current Build Mamoli. Lexington American Brig. 1/100 Scale

The first is you'll have others watching which can be helpful. Another is, anyone who builds the model after you has a reference.

Davy Jones Posted June 8, 2020 Author #8 Posted June 8, 2020 Good point, as this was the problem i was having with the Lexington, I could'nt find any build logs for it. I'll have to give it some serious thought. mtaylor 1 Current Build Mamoli. Lexington American Brig. 1/100 Scale
