Title: 18th Century Albion....
Post by: Gajjark on July 22, 2013, 11:17:11 AM
Hai Pals,

Here is the scratch built classic ship Albion. It was a merchant ship used by french merchants. Small Coasting boat, this merchant ship was used along the Swedish, Finnish and Danish coasts for patrolling, especially during the 1700 wars.

It's a balsa construction. Yet to make all the rigging. Running lines and fix line. Will probably do next weekend.

Looking for expert comment.

Regards,

Krunal

Great build  :thumbsup: {:)} {:)}

Does it not need a deeper keel with that high mast?

No, as it's a static model. But It has a weight in the keel to float with balance. This is an actual make.

Thanks..

Krunal Bhai - Scratch built or Kit built? If it is the former -  :hatsoff: :bow: {:)}

If it is built from a kit or an available plan, even then -  :hatsoff: :bow: {:)}

Dada it's really a scratch built. Down loaded the plan and made it. Yet to do rigging of running line and fix line. Next project will be gun ship.
