I have a kit that is about 20 years old that I would like to build. First of all this is my first ship model, i have modeling experience but not ships and I am a little overwhelmed with the contents of the kit. There are blueprints, some very general instructions, wood hull and wood parts, and a large quantity of cast parts. Shaping the hull and the wood parts I can do. The bag od castings is where I need help. Some of them I can compare to the blue prints but others are a mystery to me. Can anyone HELP.....
 
Hi Bud

A very warm welcome from Down Under.

The best way to get help is to start a build log.

There are very may Model Ship builders to help you with your build, willing to help you.

A build log with some photos and you concerns will help you by other members being able to contribute to you build. The need to see what you see.

Cheers Geoff
 
Does the contents of the box have the instruction manual. Sometimes or most of the time, either a black and white print or a color print would be available and usually just pictures to help with the sequence. We need to see what you see - so start with the box contents so we can see what you have to help.

hi there my name is Lester Palifka. I was on the restoration team for the Charles W Morgan. I have an extensive data base on the ship as I have grown up in ct and have been going to the seaport all my life. I forst saw the Morgan when I was 9 years old in 1959 (yup im an old guy...) I was in the rigging loft working on all the rig for the ship. I also have manned the helm for a half hour under full sail. I can help you out with your build as I am a modler also. (just fininshed a whale boat) let me know and I can send you thousands of pics of the morgan from her earliest days to the present.... my email is lesterpalifka if you want to contact me. this is my latest project I am working on.IMG_3659.JPGIMG_3712.JPGIMG_3714.JPGIMG_E3557.JPG
