themadchemist Posted April 7, 2013 Share #92 Posted April 7, 2013 I was looking at a surprise build log last night. She'd be an interesting build I'd think. http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/575-hms-surprise-by-derik-artesania/ I was surprised to see AL had made this one also a single plank build, so with the single plank, addition of guns and more complex rigging, plus its just plain bigger, all this would increase the challenge. If I remember correctly the Swift for you was like for me, a model to cut my teeth on. Other then gun rigging, the surpise is just a larger process of the Swift, and a cool ship ta boot.

rebekb Posted April 7, 2013 Share #93 Posted April 7, 2013 Looks very nice! I haven't done a POB as yet (working on some solid hull minis), but these"first POB" logs are an inspiration and will be a good reference for when I finally get there Rebecca Quote * * * * * * * * First-time builder Current build: Mini-Mamoli Mississippi Sternwheeler On the shelf: MM: Charles Morgan, La Goleta MW: Ches.
