Revenge 1577 1/64 Victory Models/Amati

[Stargazer]

Been itching to start a POF model but decided to finish a couple projects that I have already started, continuing with the pear planking on my Revenge. I thought the 5mm planking provided in the kit was out of scale (too wide) so I’ve been using 4mm wide planks - takes a lot more planks but looks better to me.

Hi Lou - long time no hear. The pear wood looks exquisite, and you did an excellent job of planking the hull. She is really shaping up to be a piece of eye candy.

Where does one buy pearwood planking? I'd like to also use it on an HMS Revenge build and perhaps others. Your model looks awesome, Stargazer!

Thanks Heinrich, it has been a while, I need to re-visit my Bluenose as well, so many interests and some health issues interfering as well, I appreciate you remembering me! Kurt, I bought some really nice Pearwood from Keim Lumber in Ohio and also some very excellent Pear billets from: https://modellbau-holz.jimdo.com/ which I processed with my band saw and Byrnes Table saw and made my own planks.

I love the Revenge... she has curved, style and flair. She is built to fly with the wind...
