hello, You can count me in, I will be part of it but since I like small scale, (finished model take less space) so mine will be at 1/45, finished hull will only be 40.5 cm, plan have been ordered.

Waiting for book ,and plans, reading "Planking Techniques for model ship builders" by Donald Dressel, wondering if there is a local wood supplier in Ontario.

This will be my first scratch build since elementary school.. hopefully some needed skills are still obtained... I have ordered "An Introduction to planked on frame scale model ship" book and Le Rochefort 1787 plan set from Ancre. The shipment will be made on Dec 12, 2022 with ETA between 15 to...

Thanks to all those who are participating as well as well as those facilitating or just lurking. Most folks won’t go with 1/24th scale, but I need the larger size to work around some personal limirations. As usual the first challenge is determining the quantity and type of wood to order. I’m...

Ordered “The Package” (monographie and Sorolla’s book) from A.N.C.R.E today. The clock is ticking… wonder if I’ll get them in time for Santa to put under the tree…

I am the worst model builder going, so I don’t know if I will build. I will watch and learn! I have ordered the book from ANCRE. Can’t wait to see it. Tim Murphy

Thanks Donnie and Zoly for creating this group build and recruiting some more modelers for this project. I’ve been studying the plans and the book for quite some time now.

I ordered Plans on Saturday 11-26-2022. This would be my first legitimate scratch build from choosing the lumber to following plans from ANCRE. I ordered the basic Plan set of 1/36 and the Booklet that comes with it. Last year, I ordered the Adrian Sorola book and read through almost all of it...

Greetings Group, I started this one back in 2019 (mainly the axial timbers) and after a few year hiatus have started building frames as of the beginning of August - 20 so far (roughly 1/3rd of the total frames. I am using swiss pear almost exclusively. The frames are simply assembled at this...

Hello Everyone, After 8 months of research and feasibility planning, I've decided to scratch build Le Fleuron. After reading all the great build logs on SoS and benefiting from everyone else's knowledge, I have decided to share my own. For me this will be a marathon and not a sprint...

Hello everyone, My order from ANCRE arrived today. I placed the order on 06-04-2022 ( which was a Saturday) and it arrived today!!! That was nine days from France. I live in Florida. You can't do any better than that. It would take that long to order something from my own state. Thank you ANCRE...

Hello, everyone. Here I would like to introduce you to my second project, I am trying to build the La Palme, a sister ship of the L' Amarante. I hope that I get a lot of input from you to identify any errors and to fix them. Le Coureur will continue to be built whenever I need a change. Now...

The construction begins slowly with the axial frame and with pleasure. The whole ship will be in pearwood (Belgian school).
