Just watched the video. Would you have a list of beginning tools a person would need to start wood ship building kits. Also you talked about auction sites. Where would I find these sites? Enjoyed the video.

I just bought this pack! They should get here tonight.

80 $ have totally too expensive this small model serie, must be 30-40$ maximum, all wood cutting laser and have fast and cheap procres and newer not cost lot. ower meter models not need cost 200 or more, realistic need cost maximum less than 100 $.

You Americans are very good at talking talking take far to long to get to the point Very boring

I have not done any building with wood. What are my chances of finishing this with a reasonable quality? Or is there ant kit I should try first? I dont want to do plastic.

That all Americans do is talk talk talk very annoying just get in with the boat

I like the Midwest kits for beginners.

From personal experience building America from Mamoli at 1/66 scale, calling the instructions vague is an understatement. While the original Italian is translated, it appears to be done poorly, and the parts lists are not translated at all. To build this one, a person will need an Italian/English dictionary, particularly covering ship terms if one wants to understand all the parts and their functions. As to the metal castings, expect to spend considerable time cleaning up flash. Source some additional wood as the kit came to me short on some lumber. Sails will need to be fabricated from scratch and while fabric is supplied, it's out of scale in it's weave and IMO they should be made with a much finer material. Thread supplied is all tan, so standing rigging will need to be dyed to resemble tarred rigging used in the day. All in all, this kit is NOT for a beginner, or the faint of heart, or a person lacking a great deal of patience. I will not be purchasing from this company again.

What is the cast of that model

Beautiful

never even considered a kit... I kinda love huntng for wood (today I'm making a stem and knee from wood taken out of a broken palet that was standing outside a local shop... ( I went in and asked first before taking it :) )

Don’t buy it. It’s junk

great vid Have built models in the 2 to 3 foot range from plans I got from the Smith But, the kits they suggest using super glue We don't get along.

I just finished the model as far as the oars. Boy, was it difficult to chamfer the handles out, then shape the oars, LOL! Only had to scratch build two seats, so that’s good. It’s too cold now and too late to paint and put the rope on. Transom holes are too small for it anyway, so I’ll need to drill them out. Looking forward to the pram and the smack!

Muito obrigado! Sou plastimodelista e estou migrando para os navios de madeira! Ganhei da esposa o me deu uma seção do Santisima Trinidad da OCRE!

Gidday from New Zealand. Just found this video, enjoyed it immensely. I have the America model, still in it's box. So far, all I have done is sand the hull. Put it back in it's box and there it remains. Might be timely to get it out again. Cheers and Merry Christmas to you and family.

A very generous wensite.. indeed. Thanks for those info of ship model.

I am new to wooden sailing ship model building. Am very familiar with plastic model building having built dozens of Walthers kits for my HO Train layout and a detailed Aircraft Carrier and F14 fighter. I have sanding blocks and flex sanders, pin vices mini drill bits, mini files, hobby knives, ca glues, wood glues etc. I bought a Scientific Brand kit of the Bluenose racing/fishing schooner many years ago which has a solid hull. My question is what is the best tool to drill the perpindicular holes for the masts. Seems like a basic question but it is a show stopper for me. Thanks

I'm super new, literally buying my first kit in a few days. I used to do plastic models years ago, but started putting together metal models. I know they are night and day compared to wooden ship kits. If I get one of those green cutting mats, is that the same as the white board with all the markings, or is this something completely different?

I got a chance to buy the Black Prince and Halifax for 130usd.

Love your channel

Thinking about buying a dumas products boat kit

This looks like a more sophisticated version of the “Midwest” model of the same name. Am I correct?

Sorry, but can it swim in the park lake?)

Encourage you to do more of these...whether "how tos" or tool reviews. Saw (slight pun) one of your videos a month or so ago and it got me back to the bench...

Some 20-25 years ago I bought Harvey /1847 by Artesania Latina and yes- realized my skills were subpar even with my youth plastic modeling and RC airplane/glider kits. Bought the New York Pilot Boat by Model Shipways and again got a bit frustrated - partially due to the fact that we were in apartment and space was tight. I just found those boxes and these kits. Going to have to give this a try again. Thanks.

Just cut my scuppers after searching long and hard for what they were and where they go. Finally spotted them on the plans and what a pain to drill and cut but done.

looking for help explaining what is meant by "cutting a small gain" on the inside face of the garboard planks. Are there any on-line instructions for this step? Bruce D.

Hi Jim from another Jim who is into model ship building.

Enjoy your videos re. model building. You do a great job getting a person interested in the hobby. Thank you

Hi, I have a question that I hope you can answer. Do know anyone that may have built the Mamoli CSS Alabama? Or do you know how to contact some from Mamoli or the new company? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. David

Nice explanation

I think I might get this one. It looks like a blast to build and small!

I built the Mini Mamolli Britannia years ago and it only took me 30-hours to complete. I had previously built plank on frame models as well as the Tamiya 1:350 USS NEW JERSEY with additional brass details such as handrails, ladders and radar features. These Mini Mamolli models aren't just for beginners, they are for anyone who would like to have a nice model in a short time. It was a fun build and I highly recommend the Mini Mamolli kits. I have the America kit waiting patiently on the shelf to be built.

I'm going to buy all three with an eye toward building the Mayflower some day 🤔

þrðmð§m 🤦

This is so cool. I tried to build one of these in the 1970's, and if I had had this video back then, it would have answered a lot of questions. I feel like I want to try it again. I actually got most of the way through it, but I had to use a lot of filler on the bow and I hated myself for it, so I gave it away almost finished. I can see myself holding those planks together at the bow, while simultaneously gluing my other hand to the dog, then releasing the plank only to watch it unglue provocatively^8-)

Does model shipways label any of their other models with a skill level so I can have an idea of what I'm getting myself into when purchasing a model?

I had picked up a few different wooden ship kits over the last year and a half. I have a couple of the bigger, more complicated ones and a couple of these smaller kits, including the Mamoli America. You're absolutely right about the instructions being vague. I've managed to get through about half the build in a month or so but the instructions really leave something to be desired. Hopefully get it knocked it in another month or so.

Bought mine at a garage sale 10 years ago for $15. Just started mine tonight!

I bought mine around the same time as fast freddy below. Now in 2022 I plan to build it. I believe that I did not get all the pieces, like #12 blocks in the aft of the boat. That has set me back nearly 35 years. Now that I am retired, thought I'd give it a shot, so here we go...I do believe I got an early version, for not all the pieces are cut out like the sample in the video. My rudder parts are all attached and I will have to take a saw to them, hope not a saber saw!!!

Здравствуйте! А как купить данную модель? Где? И доставка в Россию.

Did you ever finish? Shit just watched all 14 videos lol.

These are a great idea! Have been wanting to learn for some time. This gives some structure for learning basic ship building. Have completed the Dory and was pleased with the result. Feeling confident about starting the Pram. Thanks!

Thank you for the unboxing video. I am currently building the sailing pram, and have the lobster smack ordered I am new to model boat building, but find it very relaxing.

Great and sensible video. And nice guitar strap collection😎

Model Expo's president Marc Mosco left a great comment about this over on The Model Shipwright website, so I'm reposting it here for everyone to see. You can check it out on the website here: www.themodelshipwright.com/2021/06/07/big-changes-at-model-expo/ Hi, this is Marc. About the solid hull kits. Our next catalog will contain 4 solid hull kits …. Phantom, Sultana, Dapper Tom and Kate Cory. The others are poor sellers with exception of Harriet Lane, which is being re-issued in larger scale and plank-on-bulkhead, designed by David Antscherl. I would agree with you that solid hull kits have a better chance of being finished but there are reasons why we are walking away from them in the near future. 1) The hulls are carved by furniture makers in Highpoint, SC. In the past 30 years we are now working with the last furniture carver (table legs and such) in that town. He is 80 years old and does not have much of a business future ahead of him as High Point has gone from being America’s premier furniture manufacturing center to a ghost town. All of their factories have moved to China. 2) The cost of solid hull kits has surpassed the POB kits. Carved hulls still have to be whittled fore and aft by hand as they are delivered with stems that held the wood in pantograph carving machines. We have a Philippine who is good at this but soon he is returning to retire in the Philippines. 3) The Europeans have convinced 95% of model builders that POB is more authentic since all of their kits with exception of the junky, little ones designed for youngsters are all POB. On another note … Model Expo is having the best year ever. In part due to Covid and the stay-at-homes but also because we are doing very well in Europe … even Italy! Our biggest challenge now is producing enough to meet demand. Thank you for your videos. I look forward to the Learning Series of Dory, Pram and Smack. Best regards, Marc Mosko

CG 41305, 41363, 41491 looking forward to watching you build it.

any advice on the instructions number 6, setting up bottom/ stem/ transom? i am so confused on how to attach these two sections. i don't understand bevel concept. any help would be appreciated. cheers from florida.,, mike
