Are solid hull kits respected?

Solid hull kits are not easy. They are far from finished. You have to make templates, figure our where the templates go, mark the hull, and then carve the hull to fit the plans. No shortcuts involved if you do it right.

 

I would love to get a perfectly finished solid hull to plank over.

Hi.

My story of a solid hull.

Me at the time was at the tender age of 10.. Doing my normal thing in the morning befor school I would look around our local coves for any driftwood that might have come in during the night.

In doing this one day I found a hull of a ship made out of solid wood.

I picked it up as it was the only thing that got washed in that night.

One of the locals was a model ship builder and spotted me walking through the village with it and called me over.

This turned out to be a very good carving that he insisted that I should continue building it.

With his help this model was completed and is now on display in the local pob.

Solid hulls are not easy and are used by masters for model ship building.

 

The hull was just over 27 inches long and had all the decks shaped ready.

This was my start into this hobby.

 

Regards Antony.
