StichWitchJane Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 I am thinking of building a miniature boat, do you know where I could find plans? ::big pyrate puppy eyes:: Help please! , Jane Hey, ho, to the bottle I go, To heal my heart and drown my woe, Rain may fall, and wind may blow, But there still be... Many miles to go! Sweet is the sound of the pouring rain, And the stream that flows from hill to plain. Better than rain or rippling brook, Is a mug of beer inside this Took! HEY! This wench never says no to a free grog... StichWitchJane, the pyrate with an education ph34r the l33t pyr4t3! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scupper Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 What scale you be building? Scupper "That's the navy for you. Rum in the scuppers today.

Insecurity, snipes and disrespect I will not tolerate in the least." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calico Jack Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 Well, for miniature models, scale and level of detail are pretty important in the decision. They can range from high end [such as those at http://www.tallshipmodels.com/soldgallery.htm ] to pretty simple used for wargames [such as that at http://www.wargamesfoundry.com/library/pir...eship/index.asp ]. It really depends very much on what you are looking for. - Calico Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He builds models of Admiralty Quality yet length on deck less than 2"! His work is remarkable. Since reading this forum I am going to see if I can find his models on line. I saw several works at the Museum Gallery at Mystic Seaport Museum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
