Model Ship

That amazing, I’ve always marvelled at these and to have one one you made yourself is amazing. Great build & patience. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice. can i ask where you got the kit from?

-- Scott, Reno NV,

Beautifully done!! I have the same model (at least it looks the same) that I bought and started at least 25 years ago! Mine is still in the box after I have worked on and off on it, but probably not in the last 10 years. After seeing yours, I may pull mine out and work some more on it! You have a right to be proud. I know exactly how much work is involved…well done!!

Well Scott I am from Reno, NV too. I got the kit from a hobby store. This one was purchased at Hobbies of Reno. They were on Moana, but have since closed. I bought another one after this one at a different place in town, but they are closed too. The closest place is Hobbytown USA in Carson or on the internet. The kit was made by Model Shipways. They have a GREAT website.

A saucy little brigantine she be.
Well done Lenny, Will she be getting a suit of sails?

Thanks for sharing, boats are few and far between on LJ’s.

Nope, she is done. No sails. The ship I am working on now will have sails

Thanks neighbor! Maybe see you at the Woodworking Source sometime. If you dont know about them here they are. http://the-woodworking-source.com/

I have been looking at a canoe for a while now. Looks like it would be fun. http://www.garrettwade.com/historic-wood-prospector-canoe-model/p/16T02.01/

-- Scott, Reno NV,

Nine months?! I think just the strings and chains would take me that long. Looks like a nice winter project. Great job.

Great Job Lenny! Your ability to work the details will pay off big time in larger woodworking projects too.
Enjoy!
