Kris,
thats incredible work. I assume you can do this in different scales ?

Do you mean the 38 gun fourth rate?Ahoy!
Different scales........... Brian I agree. I think, hulls up to 100 cm of the length should not be a problem.
We are currently working on the solid wooden hull of the HMS TIGER (TYGER) 1647 model in scale 1/72. Hull length is almost 60 cm.
It will be enough to itself to stick the veneer around it (the thickness 0,6 mm) and the hull will be ready.
All decorations for the HMS TIGER model are also designed.
Saving time is not a personal criteria for this hobby at the forefront of my voyage. There are some small detailing aspects though that techniques can eliminate mulligans. One current time consuming task is in the unwinding of stranded wire and extracting the 30 ga wires to be twisted into small cables using my old hand drill, one crank at a time, to better feel the tension and watch the lay of these lines. Carved hull and then POB were my entry boats and I enjoyed the POB planking much more than the carved/sanded hull pilot boat. I don't think that any of the approaches to our builds are right or wrong, just personal preferences. Rich (PT-2)AHOY and HAPPY NEW YEAR
We know how much time is needed to build a wooden hull of a sailing ship. How much patience and skill are needed. Not all modelers have enough time for their hobbies.
We have a solution for that. Santa Claus brought us a new 4-axis CNC milling machine. Whereby we can make a wooden hull in pieces. There will be enough to glue the pieces of solid wood together and to stick with the veneer. The thickness of the shell of the hull from 2.5 mm (0.1 inch) to ..... YOU WILL SAVE TIME.
NEW YEAR – NEW TECHNOLOGIES - NEW POSSIBILITIES - NEW SOLUTION FOR IMPATIENT MODELERS
