Brenticus Posted March 4, 2015 Share #1 Posted March 4, 2015 Does anyone know if there is a model kit of the Kalmar Nyckel? She's a lovely pinnace that I will be sailing on later this year, and I would love to make a model kit of her. Google has not found anything. I am not optimistic.

Keith_W Posted March 4, 2015 Share #2 Posted March 4, 2015 A bit of Googling did find some plans: http://home.comcast.net/~iver.franzen/Kalnyck.html So you could scratcbuild one if you wanted to. Or you could get someone like rshousha (MSW sponsor) to loft the frames and laser-cut some plywood bulkheads for you. But no kit. If Google doesn't know about it ... then it probably doesn't exist Quote Regards, Keith 2007 (completed): HMS Bounty - Artesania Latina 2013 (completed): Viking Ship Drakkar - Amati 2014 (completed): HMS Bounty Launch - Model Shipways Current: HMS Royal William - Euromodel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenticus Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share #3 Posted March 5, 2015 I was afraid that was the case. One day, I must scratch build one, then. I'm going to be crewing her later this year, and I thought it would be really cool to have a model of the pinnace. However, my skill is far below a level where scratch building would be advisable at all, so I believe I will take your information, pocket it, and hold onto it until a time when I am skilled enough to use it. Thanks so much for sharing what you were able to find Quote Cheers, Brenticus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Jack, you have debauched my sloth!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Completed Logs: HMS Patrician, frigate, 32 guns (converted Lindberg Jolly Roger 1:150) Completed Build Gallery: HMS Patrician Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
