Just wanted to share some actual ship building I really love seeing how its done for real ships. These folks make it look easy with modern tools, but still it's a complicated process. Imagine how it would have been in the 1400s to do the same tasks. Just amazing

I received this kit from my Boss who wanted it built ASAP. This will set me back a bit on other builds, but I'm happy to build it for him. Before I ended up hospitalized I managed to get some of it done so I figured I would share the progress here. First this kit isn't accurate as it's missing...

Just Finished up reading this Book and its a fantastic read lots of terminology and techniques explained. the Book is Based on a Single Ship but the Information is fantastic and should apply to nearly all POF building. Below is some writing from the books description. This highly detailed...

I was recommended a book by Dave Teel And Uwe here on the forum called the Modeling the USF Constellation I found some great information in that Book to help me with a POF scratch build of that ship. I have always been drawn to that Vessel for some reason I've been onboard so many times I've...

Anyone know anything about it? I wish it were a kit I'd love to build it. I want this ship as a decoration for my shop

I had time today to get the rope server done. I wanted to use it for not only serving shrouds and such, but also for stropping Blocks. I used to do all this by hand sometimes with the aid of a fly tying vice and a tiers Bobbin. This build should help me do those tasks more efficiently. I chose...

Today there was another Shooting in the work place here in Maryland this time at a Rite Aid Dist. center. I am pretty lucky as I was scheduled to go into that Rite Aid this morning to work on equipment, but my dispatcher had me run a couple emergency calls instead. I don't have all the details...
