Thanks Sailor Michael that is exactly what i have been looking for. I did find one they use today. and got many pictures of it. I also found frame drawings for the same boat and started making it. The model will be made cheaply with planks of basswood and a lot of glue, but it will look great...

i seen this model on a japanese site. They were selling it for a lot of money. I then found it on a site that someone scanned all the pages of the book and posted it as a free model on the internet. Isn't that called pirateing? :cry: :joust1: John

back in the design stage hello everyone announce1 Just to let everyone know I am back to designing the rest of the galleon. I've designed the belaypin racks for tieing of the lines, the anchors, the cleats and the pulley blocks. and the ratlines. I,m working on the masts at present...

Hey sjsquirrel, I guess you are doing more then just burying your nuts for the winter. :thumb: that plan is nice but the link on the top right side brought me to an even better set of plans with files attached. Thanks again for that link. John

empty sorry i found out later please remove this totally.

still looking yep, after looking at the diagrams carefully you are right about the vietnamese boat. I was there and because i was in the mountains i never saw their boats in the delta region. as for the korean boat the sails should look more like that of the vietnam model. The Howpaper...

confused people re-worded by popular conjecture. This thread happens to be posted in the ship & watercraft model section because it is posted in this area I assumed that the readers here would aknowledge the fact that a Junk is a sailing vessel. If the readers don't understand the...

Hi All,sign1 I have a special request. I am looking for a real good Chinese Junk model. Does anyone know of a free model or free model plans? I havn't seen any around but I hoping for someone to have hid one in an archive somewhere. All links will be appreciated. Thank You...

I didn't have a frame and could of wacked myself for not putting one in and the reason i say that is because most ship decks have a convex shape to allow water to drain to outside edges of deck. my model does not show this cause I forgot to add formers:cry: when I continue setting up the...

lapse of time in ship building I know everyone interested is waiting for something new to come out of this project but at this time i have a pressing problem I am trying to finish before summer is over. I decided to build a real rowboat out on my deck. It's called a 12 ft Jon Boat and although...

scale 1:96 metric Revell came out with model many years ago after me making the plastic model for 20 years they sold rights to Germany. the model then went out into lala land and i couldn't find it again. Several years ago the German company decided to start it again and it lasted for about 2...

This is a model that I am presently designing. It is my first large undertaking. Bear with me if you interested. the images you will see at this time are in a prototype stage, which means the final parts for the model will be clearer and more precise. The link to my images is here...

what ever happened to the one that was built out of paper drinking straws? I built that one long ago.

If I need things like hinge pins for models I take plain paper and roll it as thin as I can then pour super glue down core to stiffen works for me.
