Model Ship Builder Projects
The following are a list of online projects available here at Model Ship Builder
The Matthew Project - The Matthew was the ship on which explorer John Cabot sailed in 1497. Though hotly debated, it is suggested by some that John Cabot landed on mainland North America before Christopher Columbus. This model is based on Replicas built in Bonavista, Newfoundland, Bristol, England and scant historical information. The model is built using the POB method.
The Schooner Bluenose Practicum - In this practicum the modeler is taken through the process of building a 1:48 scale Plank-on-Frame model of this famous schooner. The model is based on the plans of Mr. Philip Eisnor. This is a joint project being conducted between Model Ship Builder and Navy Board Models. The main project itself is being conducted at our Navy Board Models website. As each section of the Practicum is completed, we will be posting it here at our site.
The Battle Station - Originally an online build at our sister site Navy Board Models, the 1:32 scale Battle Station is a section build of a 17th century ship. It is now available to members from our download section. The project is in PDF format and includes the complete practicum and plans. This project will be of interest to novice builders wishing to try their hand at scratch building without having to take on a whole ship.
The HMY Fubbs - The purpose of this practicum is to provide the modeler with all the detailed information necessary to build an admiralty-style model of HMY Fubbs from scratch on a scale of ¼” = 1’ using a set of POF plans drawn by Portia Takakjian. This information will go beyond a building log, imparting most details in “how-to” fashion as well as discussing difficulties you may encounter on each step of the build.
(Coming Soon)
Bomb Vessel Cross Section - This project encompasses building a cross section of a bomb vessel. The cross section is based on the Anatomy of a Ship book by Peter Goodwin "The Bomb Vessel Granado 1742". This is a large scale modeling project built at the 1:24 scale.
