Beginners guide to building a wooden model ship Part 1 

There is just something about having a british person explain these things that makes them feel more legit xD

Thanks for making these videos, Jim. My uncle was a clearance diver in the Royal Canadian Navy in the 60’s. When I was young, I’d watch him build ships like this after he retired. I’ve always wanted to give my hand a try.

Thank you for these videos. I'm brand new to this and you've made the whole ordeal way more approachable. I'm about to order my first kit!

Jim! Now you got me thinking "wood" haha. See you in Part 2. 👍

On too part 2. Looks like a neat kit.

Thank you for the video guide(s) on Building a Wooden Model Ship!

Fascinating. I don't have the patience for that, but I'd love to have a Dutch East India Company ship in my living room, when I'm old :D

Looks like the kit I got from China, however, mine came with brass canons, 2 brass anchors and brass chains for the anchors. I will be watching the rest of the build series for this ship. It’s been about 40 years since I built a wooden ship, so I’m a little rusty. I’m at the point of rigging the ship, so I’ll be interested in watching that video. Mine also came with the sail guide to cut the sails. Happy days and model on!

Outstanding video and presentation.

Hi Jim, Thank you for doing this series. I'm about to embark on the OcCre HMS Beagle and this series has been very inspiring and useful.

Nice!! ...Since the beginning of the pandemic I have been building the ships "The Black Pearl" and "Queen Anne's Revenge" based on plans, scenes and images, although it has been difficult because I cannot dedicate myself full time due to economic circumstances. This art is majestic and I would like to be able to dedicate my full time to it.

Thank you for sharing

Thank you sir !!❤

Thank you for showing me

Thank you Sir!

Nice intro Jim, looking forward to the build. 👍

ngl, this was so wholesome

thank you

thanks jim

إني أعشق هده الهواية الرائعة وسبق لي صنعت أربع سفن خشبية لكني أستغرقت أكثر من شهرين في الواحدا منهم و واجهت تحديات في المواد لأنني قمت بنحت كل جزء بمجرد خردوات نهيك عن صعوبة عرضها فنتمنى مساعدة للحصول على قوالب لتسهيل عملية التقطيع كل الحب ❤

Awesome video bro!

Thank you for sharing your model build. I apologize if it's not a secret how old are you?

Thanks for sharing, what magnifier glasses do you use and where can I get some?

Thanks mate great intro to model making. I want to start model ship building what kit would you recommend for a beginner?

I started with the Endeavour longboat. it got me used to bending and handling the strip wood. After 4 builds the biggest problem for me is......Where do you put them?

Hi Jim! Thanks so much for this wonderful series! For beginners like me! I’ve subscribed to your channel. I’m starting my first build soon and have a couple of questions. (1) Can you tell me where you got the hull support block you’re using? The only ones I e seen have c,amps only. I like the large block so I can move it around. (2) What are the Lego pieces for? Thanks again!!

This will be interesting, are the planking strips ply?

Can you recommend a kit for this kind of wooden sailing ship that costs up to $100.00 that has more detailed, readable instructions?

What sort of challenges does a modeler face in Thailand? Can you get ships in the shops? What about plastic and balsa planes? Sheet balsa? Supplies? KOB KHUN KHRAP

Hi Jim. Looks like it will be a nice fun build my friend :-) Where in Thailand are you? One of my favourite ports in the Navy was Pattaya. Just for the buzz of the place at night. Take care mate.

I tried to use the same type of clip, but gave up because the orange grips constantly fell out. Any suggestions on better types of clips would be great. I build a lot of Occre models, which come with pretty thorough instructions.

Any tips for removing blood stains from wood?

Is there a video preceding this one? Thank you.

Can someone please share a link where i can buy this?

you should take a look at the play list, the order of the videos is kinda funny... 😅

how do I make the sales, please

Can someone link me to that music?

Where can i buy this kit

"Bulldog" clips, not "Alligator"
