Ships of all kinds think that they have a place too and have a lover....... and
a new style

I finally found an appropriate Wood to make the La Belle 1684 from and that is some recycled Hemlock.
I’ve planed the pieces to the appropriate thicknesses of 1/2” and 3/8” and today I’ve applied the pattern templates to the pieces. You will notice I have a white and also clear contact paper on top of the Hemlock. That is only due to availability at the store and not function.
I quite prefer this paper for larger pieces as the removal process is so very easy to peel off.
Next step is too drill any holes and review each piece before cutting out the Hull pieces, bear with me on progress as Winter is upon me and hobby time is limited.
The Chinese Junk is on my to do list for sure, I’ve done the Viking Ship and its one of my most admired builds.
Hi Rafad
You have any ideas for new boat plans feel free to post here. That is what the forums is about to give me a idea what plans people are looking for or any body else have any ideas feel free to post here.
The Chinese Junk boat is one of my favorite plan sets. Looking forward to seeing the model made . And the Jet Ski.
I think the Viking ships are the most beautiful, the most agile and the most difficult to implement
I am thinking about doing some full scale plans like the photo you have posted. That was the idea when i started doing the plan sets maybe i will do some in the near future. The problem is with the full scale models so much work in involved and to get the parts scaled down and to look perfect as it should be probably take a few months to get right. But i do think that the models look fantastic what people have made from the plan sets and very easy build here some photos what people have made from the plan sets.
Some nice looking Vessals for sure
Some thing to think about, ww1 Dreadnoughts, they are cool old battle ships!
I have looked at the Dreadnoughts ship before here is picture of the ship i was looking at maybe i will make in to a plan set i do like this ship..
Hi Lloyds
Allow to me ask is it possible make plan set this ship?
Yes i do like that ship very much maybe after the new year i will make the plan set for La belle.
Thank you very much .... I will be the first buyers
Beautiful Ship and quite interesting video to watch, I plan on starting on the Chinese Junk this spring season as it will involve some of my tools to be used outside of my small wood shop.
