Construction of scratch built 1/200 Prince Madog 1968

Your entire Research Vessels collection is interesting - and thumbs up for expanding it by using different means: mainstream kits, 3D prints, paper models, and now scratch-building... Respects! 👍

Tim
Thanks Alex. The options are fairly limited with mainstream plastic kits. It's proving very slow progress with scratch building. But the hull is almost done, which is a major part of the build. I've learnt a lot so far anyway! Doing water line models would be much easier, but I like to see the hull form and propulsion.

I am in too! Great scratch skills 👍

Tim
Thanks. The hull is not ideal. It's made from Balsa wood which proved hard to get sharp and straight edges with. If I had the skills I would 3D design and print,but I don't. I would probably use bass wood next time as it would keep the edges better.

Way to go! Grabbing a seat!

Nicely done! Interesting way of scratch build, which could also be used for aircraft.

Mr James
Impressive.! And well documented to help us, lesser human modellers, marvel at your skills 🙂

I've got to finish this model soon. It's been nearly 4 years since I started according to this. Think I'll not scratch build a whole model for another twenty years me thinks.
