I personally prefer the video I can watch at my leisure. You do wonderful work - I bought the Palomas as a beginners kit and have discovered the bulwark issue before even beginning - I appreciate seeing how others have solved the issues!
Thank you.
I"m just trying to get into wooden model building(or model building in general). I'm glad I saw this series before I bought, as someone recommended a Billings model. I would not have been pleased to open that box. I ended up with a Model Shipways Lowell Grand Banks Dory to start with, as I like the theory of their 3 ship introductory series. Hopefully I don't regret my decisions. Thank you for the tips and tricks that I've seen so far. Keep it up!
Hi Thanks for your comment, the Model Shipways Lowell Grand Banks Dory is a very nice kit I think you made the right choice. I don't think, well i hope not all Billing Boats kit are like the one I purchased,
I love this series and would love to see the live stream version. If that will not work due to time constraints, I will not be greedy and take what I can get. Looking good!
Thanks, its a nice break from the Santisima Trinidad
Hi Grant, it's very interesting to see the models in direct comparison. I can't wait to see what happens next.
Thanks Wolfgang
I've just finished the first planking of the Palamos and apart from the bulwarks I'm enjoying it. This is my first wooden ship build and I chose the Palamos because it was supposed to be for a beginner but in my opinion it isn't, though the instructions are pretty good. This model nearly went in the bin because of those f'ing bulwarks but I'm glad I didn't as I'm getting into it now. Luckily mine didn't split but like you I decided to fit them first then cover them, so that'll hide where I've been creative with the pins!
Hi Arthur, glad to hear that your enjoying the kit, I must admit i said more than a few choice words when fitting the bulwarks. Occre instructions are good, nice clear pictures, the only thing I would say about both the Occre and Artesania kits the instructions regarding planking are wrong, and teach the wrong methods.
@@g-kip Hi Grant. I'd heard other people say that the planking instructions were wrong, but are they wrong about the 2nd planking too? I guess the first planking isn't that important as it will be covered. Can you recommend a video for the correct way?
@@arthurjordison5392 Ive done a video that shows one method, i will also be doing a planking video next
Keep it up Grant, this comparing is realy interesting.
Hi Martin, thanks
Great work Grant. Really like these comparison videos. For a beginner the AL kit looks less likely to intimidate a new builder. Those bulwarks are certainly not going to be easy for a beginner to manage. Whether you chose to do a live steam or a pre recorded video I will watch, although due to time zone differences, I will probably have to watch the replay of the stream.
Hi Greg, Thanks, gives a break from the Santisima Trinidad, Hows things with you m8?
@g-kip I'm ok thanks 😊
@@GregWilson635 i get where your coming from m8, it does feel like another job at times, without the benefit of a decent wage lol, just take things easy, im not going anywhere i will still watch your videos
I,m enjoying your Channel. Currently, I am building the Occre Palamos. Like you, I found fitting the bulwarks a real problem.
Eventually. I Compared the plan with the burwarks supplied I found that they are too wide at the stern and too long .
I found that they needed to be shortened by @ 10mm and the height reduced from 42mm to @35 mm to get a reasonable fit . I found that to compensate for the reduced height ,i needed to introduce a taper @ 120 mmm
Enjoy
Hi Jimbo, thanks, I didnt think to compare it with the plan, great tip
@@g-kip Neither did I until I ran out of swear words
@@jimbo7788 haha i must admit i said a few choice words myself, is this your first build?
@@g-kip Nope .... I have managed to complete 8 wooden ship kits , 2 Occre trams and 4 1/350 ships since retiring
@@jimbo7788 nice collection, how did you find the trams, ive looked at them a couple of times but havent taken the leap yet, roll on retirement ive a few years left of work.
Late to the party, but definitely video!
