Yep Dobbs the name is Sultana, I just forgot to put the a at the end, I am a lot better at building models than typing. Yes I have seen pictures of that reproduction before it's pretty well done.
Thanks Jim, I really had a good time building this kit and loved doing all the rigging.
A few pictures of the Sultan, size about 19 inches long solid hull kit, to many scratch built parts to list, I didn't put sails on this one because I wanted to show all the rigging. All comments...
Vol if you are talking to me I just cut a small square of very thin sheet plastic for the base, for the gun I use round rod and sand one side flat cut it into small pieces and glue it to the flat...
Thanks Rob, the working time was about 4 months, I think you could cut that time by at least a month if you build the kit all stock which I almost never do. I should post a few pictures of my Sultan...
This is a Latina Kit Hugh plank on bulkhead but I changed so many parts it's kinda half a scratch build.
I really love the shots of the large scale model ships Rob, below are a few pics of the last ship I finished the Virginia don't remember the scale but it's about 20 inches long, all comments welcome....
Thanks for all the comments guys, That's an easy answer Jonas I made a mistake and didn't want to tear the masts apart redo them.

Thanks Jim, the gun ports will be the biggest problem as my hands are not that steady any more so know way I can cut them in by hand, I think I will use small squares of black masking tape for the...
I started scratch building the Vermont and got the basic hull done, not to bad so far. I had to use a lot of filler putty as you can see from the pictures because when I started the build I didn't...
Nice repaint Rob, the red above the gun ports looks like they have lids, I didn't know they weren't there till you told us.
I hope to post soon on the Vermont. I have seen this picture before, it's a great pic, but some thing is not rite that ship appears to have a 100 guns.
Thanks David for your comment.
Thanks Chris, yeh I have a feeling if I want more American ships I will have to do a lot more scratch building. Yes Hugh same stuff, both Plastruct and Evergreen make it.
Thanks Rob for your comment, it was a fun build. Sorry Hugh I don't have any in progress pics. I can give you a basic idea how I did it.
1. I used sheet styrene with the basic shape stacked and...
Thanks For the comment Jim, I built her for the reason you said, to have battles with smaller ships.
HI guys been a long time since I was on the forum time to change that. Below are a couple of pictures of my scratch built cutter Diligence, both the ship and base are scratch builds, the ships card...
Thanks Richard for that quick response, I played 2 cards that may explain why the British ship was not even half way through the damage log and I was dead, I guess by playing 2 cards it would be...
