group build

Bonjour grand début pour moi , l’aventure commence doucement

Finally getting started on the Le Rochefort. I've cut the keel, stem and stern. My primary wood is cherry.

Hello everyone, I started already some time ago my planning to build the Le Rochefort from ANCRE. Some days ago I was informed during a local modeler meeting that this group build was started in the SOS forum and I would be very happy to join this group build. I studied the already existing...

Hey Let me introduce myself, I'm Splinter and I started modeling 2 years‘s ago. I silently follow various artists regarding this form of model building. I am someone who keeps reports concise because knowledge is very limited, besides I am not a professional photographer In the meantime I had...

Hello! We have been talking privately with Zoly since the summer. In the end, taking his advice (as I am a beginner in this category) I decided to build a simple boat. This was Le Rochefort. I first ordered Ardian's book, then a monograph, along with the plans. You can imagine that I was happy...

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

More to come

Hello everyone, first of all a thank you to the admins who opened this group building, also a thank you to Toni aka @Tonip who has put a lot of effort and commitment into getting this thing rolling and of course to all the others who have shown a keen interest in a group building Le Rochefort...

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. Adrian’s book is a true step by step log of his build. If this is your first POF build like me (the Blandford section was my...

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...

This will be my build log of the half hull model by Ken. I started with the bulkheads; they are made from Baltic Burch plywood. They were rough cut with the bandsaw and sanded with a belt sander and a small drum in my drill press. This is a few photos of the progress so far.

Still not every member knows our interesting group builds of kits where we also share the experiences in very interesting Building logs. In moment we have three kits running in our group builds - so if you are interested, please visit also these building logs on regular basis schooner...
