model shipways

The start of another build, a very different one as compared to my last four. I'm hoping the skill set learned with this endeavor will help with future builds. For today just a picture of the box, tomorrow I'll inventory the contents and post pictures of those. My intent with this "KIT"...

Is anyone building the USS Constitution by Model Expo? I have done a search, but to my surprise, I have yet to find anyone building this version. Donald

I started building the Model Shipways Syren last year. I knew, because of other commitments, it would be very slow progress for me. Since joining SOS I have read through many logs, threads and posts. The knowledge of members, incredible model builds and workmanship on this site make it kind of...

Hello, After finishing my Grand Banks Dory I decided to try the 18th Century Longboat. I already have questions. The instructions mention attaching the false keel to the keel and stem after creating the bearding line. However they do not mention if you need to glue the two stem pieces together...

KIT: USS CONFEDERACY (1778) Manufacturer: Model Shipways (USA) Scale: 1:64 (889mm/35") Single plank-on-bulkhead hull. My husband gave me a big blue box for Christmas 2020 - it is his tradition to give me a kit with a ship that was built in the area where we now live. Yes, this frigate was...

I started construction in December 2020. So I will do a brief summary of the previous episodes. Here is the box I received from Miami : I skip the description of the content of the box. Almost all the pieces are in basswood. Almost all of the pieces are in basswood. This wood is not the best...

20210313 Started work on the Norwegian Sailing Pram today. Both transoms are finished along with the keel board and 2 bottom planks. The pram has no frames that the planks are attached to; just the transoms and each other (internal bracing comes later on in the build). Assembly is upside down...

Ok Guys, here is the review of the Connie Cross Section. Sorry about some of the pictures are a bit fuzzy, I was shooting in at a hurry because I had to return the shoot box. I hope you have room in the house, this is a 32" high espectacular model.

Most of you guys know this fact but let me just start with a brief history according to MS. The Morgan was originally built fully-rigged, but right after the Civil War she was modified to become a double top sail bark. Her wailing days came to an end 1921 with the decline whale oil prices. She...

Hello to everyone. Today’s review will be from Model Shipways “Syren US Brig”. Super rainy day here in Miami but I managed to get to the store and prep. my little shoot box/table.

Hello guys: Here is my first review of many to come from Model Shipways distributed by Model Expo. I’m sorry I don’t have a high end camera and all of the pictures are taken from IPhone, so I hope at least you can have a peek at what’s inside of all of these great models.

I started the build on 26 December, I'm really enjoying it. I didn't do an inventory of the parts in the box, I figure if something is missing, I'll order it. I did get the Model Shipways jig, which helped prep me for beginning the build. As simple as the jig is...you have to fill in the...

Welcome fellow builders, to my first build log. This is my first very first wooden model and build log, so I suspect updates to happen frequently, but with little progress in between. I want to do this beautiful kit justice by building it to perfection (in my eyes). Maybe a bit more than I can...

Starting my 1st kit, The Lowell Grand Banksd Dory from Model Shipways.

20201209 Started work on the Lowell Grand Banks Dory. This is billed as a starter kit but no matter; I decided to try my hand on an open boat that is bigger in scale than the two sailing ships I've finished over the past several months. I like the look of this boat; think it might look good in...

I am building a model of the Benjamin W. Latham. Is is going along nicely. I am hung up on one area. The Transom. Trying to find the proper angle, the way the Plank sheer finishes to the Transom. Please help. Thank you. Gramps 79.

Greetings-- I've been working on a model of (sort of) the Pride of Baltimore II and realized I hadn't posted a log here. Here's a link to my Model Ship World log; https://modelshipworld.com/topic/25094-pride-of-baltimore-ii-by-brewerpaul-model-shipways-164/ I welcome any and all comments from...

I am guessing that my original build log is lost, so I am going to try to add it back here. I am still going to need a lot of help from you folks on this.

Hi all, I was given an already started model of the Syren from Model Shipways. A very nice gift but I needed to do a lot of repairs and adjustments. I will be documenting my efforts on YouTube as well.

Process of building the model of the pinky schooner GLAD TIDINGS (1937) by the American kit manufacturer Model Shipways. The big blue box I received as a gift for my first Christmas in the USA. My husband gave me another kit of a schooner (as he dreams of his own large schooner) and now *his*...
