Brigantine Phoenix 1787 by Sergey - Master Korabel - Scale 1:72

[Sergey]

Good day

 

Here is simple build OOB of 12 gun brigantine of admiral F.Ushakov from the kit of Russian maker Master Korabel

Pre-cut planking - now there is something you don't see every day in a kit like this.  Looks like it is coming together quite nicely.

[Littlebob]

That is a nice kit, I to have never seen pre cut planks, it does appear to go together pretty nice.

[Sergey]

All kits of this maker have pre-cut planking.

I forgot, I wish you good fun Sergey!

I like the pre cut planks!  It would be cool if one of the companies in the US did this or at least provided plans for the planks.

 

Looks good!

[Sergey]

Plywood (high quality) is used till this stage (hull internal structure, deck base, first layer of planking):

 

 

Further no any plywood.

SpyGlass, you can buy this kit from here or here. The first seller is quite flexible and responsive for online purchases.

[Sergey]

quicker? Ha. You simply cut parts off the base, drop them into empty box, shake and oops - ready hull on the exit.

 

p.s. pay attention to another nice kit from this maker. One day i will drop here short overview of building process.

p.p.s. I do not do any advertisement and have no any connection with the maker. Just share personal experience of newbie shipbuilder.

That's a very interesting kit and a good start. Nice work Sergey.

Prikrosno, Sergey! I searched for some older russian kits on the link you provided (I´m a bit obsessed with medieval ships from all around the world) but to no avail. Your building is coming very nicely done. Keep it up and bring us new pictures. Paka!

[Sergey]

Thanks, guys and girls.

 

Some progress - pumps:

Sergey,

   Nicely done! What you've done so far looks really good. I have the same kit but I haven't started building it yet. Thanks for all the great pictures. I hope you don't mind if I use your log as a resource when I start my build.

Hi Sergey,

 

Fantastic looking kit!

 

Can you tell us more about the types of wood used for the hull and deck, etc? It looks like good quality.

 

I did a quick search on the web and found this site that offer the kit for sale: http://hobbyterra.com/index.php?cPath=89&page=1

 

They accept Paypal and offer free shipping. 

 

Wouldn't mind one of these for Christmas!

Sergey - any more progress on the Phoenix?

[Tim Curtis]

I just purchased this kit Sergey.

 

Any updates?

[Sergey]

good day, people

 

I had abandoned the thread, as well as shipbuild itself. It was not easy time for me, a lot of my ongoing projects were stopped, except motorcycles (well, it is another story and different passion).

So now i am recovering my modelling hobby activity, and this ship is on plans to continue and to finish. The sooner the better, too many other tasty things are resting on the shelf.

However, i am now faraway from my workdesk, having bigger projects to work on  (scale 1:1) - not building but maintaining.

I do hope that on my return i will continue this thread.
