It doesn�t require the skills of a craftsman to produce a reasonably accurate miniature of any myboat269 boatplans course one could spend years on one model and produce an absolute masterpiece, but I think most modellers scratchbuild models because they have an interest in the particular ship, there may not be. Feb 20, �� Hello All, Here is my latest ship model that I built from scratch, it is a scale 1/96, Gun British Warship. The model is 27" long x 12" wide, and 25" high mid-ship. And has 5 different deck levels, plank-on-frame construction. Total work hours on the model, 1,, and about 10, pieces.

Once you are happy with the hull, sand it and apply a couple of coats of dark grey on the sides and a suitable colour for the deck.

Hawse pipes, anchor cable Building A Wooden Ship Model Zip Code running plates, bollards, fairleads and various deck hatches can be represented via grey shapes outlined in black pen.

Cut the fuse wire to size for the booms and glue to the side of the hull, taking particular care with angles and spacing. Glue the cotton for the net to the top of the hull. Paint over any glue spots. Use the pencil lead shaving dust to create deck wear and to tone down the deck cours and blend things in. Superstrucure The fore and aft superstructure is made from a combination of wood, plastic card and paper.

Obviously owing to the scale, it can be fiddly work but not too difficult. Paint the decks brick red to simulate corticene covering and paint the superstructure vertical surfaces dark grey.

Use a pen for the scuttles and hatches. Funnels The funnels are made from solid wood with appropriate paint and pen markings.

Armament The barbettes are fashioned from plastic card and the 4 turrets are made from solid wood. You will need to spend a fair bit of time in getting the first one to look right, but after this you can use it as a template for the other 3 thus making the work easier.

Base You must have a base upon which to mount the model. The elaborateness of this is up to you. I simply used a piece of masonite that has been painted blue. I reckon simulated sea with waves and white foam looks OK too provided you know your limitations as an artist!

Gee, I thought you were about the same age as me, maybe just one or two years older at best. I didnt mean any disrespect, I just thought from his photo he is about my age. Sorry if Dave or anyone took thatthe wrong way.

Hobbit99 said:. Joined Feb 8, Messages Points Well I started in plastic at the age of twelve. Been acquiring the tools, like band saw, table saw. Scratch building will do when I fully retire from my present job. Another two years before that time arrives , unless some health issue comes up. I will be purchasing a mini table saw in the near futur, just not yet decided , byrnes or micomart. I enjoy the research and planning for a scratch-built model as much as building the model itself.

I build from kits or scratch - doesn't matter to me That's sixty !!.. Dave's putting on airs. He probably just played with a toy boat in !! Alright Dave, give it up.!! You're not really 70 y.

My dad had a big HO model railroad layout so all during my childhood i was exposed to scratch building models of all sorts. Last edited: Aug 7, Joined Jan 9, Messages 3, Points Jim J. Joined Aug 16, Messages Points I guess my experiences are not that dissimilar from everybody else. The first model s I built were plastic car kits my uncle gave me when I was recovering from a broken arm back in or so. Boy does that date me. Any way, it started me down the road to ruin and I have built so many models over the years I can't even begin to count.

Everything from kits in plastic, wood and resin, to scratch building everything from flying model airplanes and rockets, HO scale model RR structures, etc.

From the age of 9 to early teens i built plastic kits from cars, to the visible V8 engine to the visible man to boats, planes.

I don't know if it can be considered scratch building when you have so many kits you start to combine them into your own creations. You know, when I first started building model ships there was no internet, no SOS, no youtube videos - nothing.

When I bought my first wooden kit it was a time when you saved up your hard earned dollars, went to your local hobby store, plunked down your money and walked out with your prized posssession. What have you gotten yourself into? Quick - run to the library and see if they have any books on the sublect!

Ok then lets go to the local bookstore and see what they have. Oh well, I guess I'm on my own.
