In a bit of perfect timing, I received my Alert kit today, on my birthday no less!
My initial impression is ”Damn, this is NICE!!” On reading the instructions, “Damn! These sorta suck!” I’ve had the AoS title for years, and that puppy is gonna get some use.
We moved a couple of months ago, and...
Well it'll be a little bit before I'm ready to go full bore on this project, Have some things I need to finish first. but wanted to go ahead and get a build thread started. In the interest of full disclosure I also want to see what some of the more experienced guys come up with. I hate to button...
Hello all. In 2019, I bought the damaged and unfinished Alert hull via Allegro on the Internet. Cutter very nicely made sewn in difficult technique until he begged to finish it. Since May 2020, I have been trying to renovate and finish the construction of the Cuter Alert from 1777 based on the...

Well I am setting up my build log for this kit, so I can start posting when my kit makes it in at some point down the line.
Can't wait to order and receive one, and hope I don't have too many vessels in the shipyard to be able to bring this one in when it gets in port.
So my Alert kit arrived and I’m getting ready to figure this thing out, and since it’s my first ever ship, I’m sure I’ll be needing help.
First thing off, I’m going to be building the kit as the Continental Navy cutter Revenge, which won’t necessitate any major structural changes to the hull or...
The model kit of the Alert is depicted after her refit with twelve six-pounder guns and a full complement of twelve half-pounder swivel guns, giving an ordnance total of twenty-four guns. We have many pages about the history of Alert here at SOS, I will rather concentrate on the kits itself...
