I was thinking they may be useful in POF building to shape inside and outside the hull.I did not figure out where in my modelling work I could us them.
No, they can be purchased individually. Veritas are excellent products and I have several of their tools, chisels and planes. I just don’t know if these would be suitable to ship modeling.The quality of veritas planes are good - no question.
Main question will be, if you need for shaping the planks the complete set of four different shapes?
Thanks Ken.Veritas makes quality tools. Typically very specific tools for specific jobs. The models you show I would not think would be beneficial for molders as they take both hands to operate and look pretty big.
I have a set of Veritas planes from Lee Valley. You can search "Veritas Miniature Tools" on the site and see their offerings. I use 3.

I also have both Veritas line scribes which I use ALL the time and so very helpful scoring a line along a straight or curved edge at a consistent distance. I also have their chisel sharpening jig tool, which I love. You will never be unhappy with Veritas' quality, just do your home work to see what the tool was specifically made for or you may buy a high quality tool which you can't use for the job you want to do. Don't guess.
The double convex version might be useful inside a framed hull. As long as you can sharpen the curved blade accurately. It's hard to see the advantage of the other three.Just saw these posted in another group. Has anyone used these and if so are they worth the prices?

Generally - too big for most modelling use. Lee Valley does carry a line of miniature woodworking planes.Just saw these posted in another group. Has anyone used these and if so are they worth the prices?

probably a little too unwieldy for model ship use. but you never know until you actually get a chance to use them. maybe look at violin planes. there are a lot of different sizes in violin planes available. I personally use the Veritas mini planes for several applications. they're very handy.Just saw these posted in another group. Has anyone used these and if so are they worth the prices?
