thats really nice.. great job:)
notched wood work and wooden nails – real long ones. Then tons of horse hair tarred up real good and jammed between the planks sorta kept the water out!~keels were often made from two or three pieces and would be notched by specialists called mechanics found first at wooden shipyards – then as home builders et al.
Even a kit is a build from scratch affair as you have to complete most parts that are cut or cast – seldom see perfect parts. Then many parts are out of scale and need replacements built. Check out Model Expo – Google them.
How did they connect the planks in 1797, and how did they join the keel?
hi im 14 years old and i wanna build 1 what do u think would be a good start off ship for me
was there ever a part II to this video? Am trying my first ship model – would like to see how the planks relate to the stem, keel and aft of the boat.
cool,we dont have these kind of kits here in estonia we only have plastic,i hope i can build a wooden model ship once too.
Mostly bass wood for the insides and exotic woods on the outside if the ship is not to be painted. If to be painted the outside woods don’t matter that much – use Limewoods, Bass woods and Mahogany.
No, you have to have extra wood on hand for those foul ups. Steve.
thanks, by the way she looks pretty
In this case I was commissioned to build a ‘kit’ model the wood parts and metal parts were provided. Most of the wood is either walnut or limewood. The metal parts are either cast metal or photo etched brass. Thanks for looking. Steve.
Hello, usually these kits provide only enough to build once. However, I keep a large supply of extra strips handy – many by ‘kit bashing’ old kits I buy – just for the parts. All best, Steve.
Do these models come with extra hull planking wood? Incase you mess up somewhere?
This kit was chosen by the client commissioning me. It is a British made kit, and cost about $200.00 delivered to a US address. The frame of the ship (as in most modern kits) has been laser cut from plywood. All other woods, such as hull plankings strips are more or less raw woods. All woods, even laser cut, require considerable ’shaping’ to make them fit right and have the model properly shaped like a ship. However, the laser cut keel, frame and bulkheads guarantee correct alignment of the hull
Hi, thanks for the email. This model is being built from a kit, which provided all the wood parts. Most wood is laser cut plywood, covered with walnut and bass wood planks. All best, Steve.
what material u use? plz reply
How much cutting and cleaning is done of the mwaterial suplied in the kit, I mean is it a raw box of wood, or is it CNC stock, if so I magion you guys have seen some major changes in shipwright work since the CNC machines have become popular. Lat how much does a kit like this cost and where do you get them
Niccee!
