Latest small project
My latest project, my grandson chance started it (we bought it for him to build), he fiddled a bit and quit so it set unassembled on the book shelve in the box in the way. So I pulled it out and built it, looks good😁, but I have plans for Black Pirate Sails made from cloth soon to top it off. ☠️
8 additional images. Click to enlarge.

Welcome to the site. I’ve never built a sailing ship – all that rigging and assorted “fiddly-bits”. What’s that line from Clint Eastwood…” a man’s gotta know his limitations..” 🙁

It was a simple snap-tight kit, but I am not happy without the detail work, and of course with liquid cement. I wanted more details, but it was only a simple kit, so didn’t go too overboard (pun💀), I painted many areas with toothpicks, still it came with templates for cutout paper sails (not), I already have black cloth sails already cut out, just need to diagram a pirate image, starch the cloth stiff, add some thread for rigging and finish.😏

Looks nice. From the photos, ist difficult to calculate: how big or small is it?

Small, about 10-11inches long

Sailing ships are fun to look at in all their forms. Good job!

Great work, and any chance of encouraging modeling with the little folk is a humanitarian deed of heroic worth. Getting the younglings away from electronic screens is worthy of an iModeler medal.
And who doesn’t love pirates?
