My Lumberyard Halifax started 6 years ago

[Albert D]

I'm getting back to the hobby after 6 years away due to family issues. I'm now able to get back to it. These photos show where I left off. It's the Halifax from Lumberyard Ship Models. It's going to take some time for me to get back to it. I need to figure out where I was and re-learn how to do some things. I also have a Model Shipways New Bedford Whale Boat to finish. I will do that first and probably document it on the forum if there is interest. The Halifax is all scratch building from here on out and I'm not ready for that right now. It was the most difficult model I have ever attempted.

I agree with Jeff, she looks very nice. Are you continuing to build her?

Thank you. Yes, I plan to finish her. It's way too much work to let go.

Would you consider opening a build log? It doesn't have to be from the beginning if it is too much work, you can start from the current stage. How does this sound to you? Is it feasible? Dave @Dave Stevens (Lumberyard), the owner of the Lumber Yard where you bought this kit from, is our member and can give you advice or help if needed.

Yes, I would be happy to do a build log. I have photos from the start showing all the wood laid out on my bench and can post everything. It will be a couple of weeks or so until I can get situated. I still consider myself a beginner and could use some guidance. I got most of my wood working experience building an acoustic guitar with the help of a friend who builds them professionally.

 

[Jimsky]

Yep...we do have some talented folks. That's a fact!

Thank you. I'm still learning to play the guitar.

 

[Corsair]

Thank you. I'm still learning to play the guitar.

If you continue to play, you never stop learning.

If you continue to play, you never stop learning.

The guy who helped me build it told me the guitar is easy to play but difficult to play well.
