mayflower

I bought this kit at a thrift store. It had the upper planking done (darker wood) and I have been plugging away at it for a few months. Getting close to closing it in. It has been a learning experience for a first attempt at a wooden ship. Oh, and an inventory of the box indicates that nothing...

After building the Model Shipways Grand Banks Dory and the Norwegian Sailing Pram ( there is another build log for these ) I decided that I should tackle a project that required less effort in building the hull and more effort in building the rigging, for which I have much less experience. I had...

I just joined SOS so as far as the Mayflower goes I have her almost complete, you can see the full build so far here:- https://www.youtube.com/c/TheModelShipwrightPaulLester A couple of points to note if anyone is thinking of building this one, there are some errors on the plans, like some part...

OK, now that I have some time I'll start a build log. As mentioned in my intro I picked up Corel Line's pre-cut hull Mayflower model. Probably just my speed as don't think I'm yet ready for planking a hull. We'll see how this one goes before I think about what may be next. So the pics...

I have always been curious about the kits I would see in hobby stores, but with miniature painting and archery and a wife, great danes, and home to care for, I resisted the urge until now, as I approach my 60's. I chanced upon an acquaintance who owned the kit but never attempted it, and bought...

The Mayflower was an English ship that famously transported the first English Puritans, known today as the Pilgrims, from Plymouth, England to the New World in 1620. There were 102** passengers, and the crew is estimated to have been about 30, but the exact number is unknown. This voyage has...

Group, I've been working on a Chinese kit I purchased on eBay that is true POF of the Mayflower. It uses sister framing rather than the single futtock framing shown in the drawings in the book Mayflower II, but is still a fun build and results in a very nice looking model. The kit does not...
