Comments:
This was my first attempt at plank on frame model ship building and I thoroughly
enjoyed it. I am quite pleased with the results despite the fact that during
the course of building I made numerous 'small' mistakes. (Isn't it funny
how, at the time the mistakes 'loom large' and yet when the model is finished
you hardly notice them!).
As a beginner, it took me quite a while to understand some of the more complicated
(to me anyway!) detail on the plans, so if it's of help to anybody out there,
the advice to read all the plans and instructions thoroughly, several times
before starting the work was really appreciated. My biggest concerns were
planking the hull and the rigging. I'm happy to say that both went fairly
smoothly in the end but I greatly appreciate the help I received from John
Wright at JoTiKa with planking and rigging tips.
The work took about a year in the end, so that represents about £1
a week's worth of absorbing entertainment, so thanks to JoTika, I reckon
that's pretty good value for money!
I am preparing for the next project now and looking at the pictures of HMS
Snake submitted by Karl Hamilton-Cox, I think I've made my mind up!
I don't have any 'under construction' pictures but these completed photos
may be of interest.
