My Name is Chuck Passaro from the US. From New Jersey actually.
I am not new to the forum but have been a lurker for quite some time. Many of you might recognize me from MSW or from Syren Ship Model Company. I am working on two projects at the moment and would like to start a build log of sorts for them.
The first is a 1/2" scale longboat which is just finishing up. I am about to start rigging the model. Just a little bit left to do on the hull. It is based on the two Medway Longboat contemporary models in the NMM. After seeing the issues with the ME version of my earlier design after they tried to enlarge it, I felt compelled to create another more historically accurate model. It is framed just like the contemporary models with floors and toptimbers and very closely matches the contemporary models. I am juyst not sure where to put the build log and how to start one.
Once this model is completed I will be working exclusively on my 32 gun frigate Winchelsea project. I would very much like to start a log of that too if there is any interest. You guys have a great site here and I look forward to sharing my work as I progress. I am finalizing work on the Winchelsea sculptures as I wrap up the longboat project. Here is a sneak peak at them They are CNC milled from Boxwood. This is a new technology for me and I am fun working with someone who is developing them for me and for my kits once it is launched.
Thanks in advance for the help and for allowing me to join the group.
Hi Chuck, you are a wizzard with wood. Very amazing! To start a build log go to the entry page. On the very left you find -Forenübersicht- Press You come to -Willkommen- Scroll down and down till you come to -Schiffsprojekte-
The first line there says -Neues Schiffsprojekt erstellen- If you want to tell about the history of the modell go to - Neues Rechercheprojekt starten- in red writing If you want to start your build log go to - Neuen Baubericht starten- in red writing Now the next step is -Neues Thema erstellen- Where it says -Betreff- you put in the title. Start with the year of origin, then the name/type, next maybe the scale,.. Where it says -Text- you may start writing.
I noticed that you already put in pictures. Well, good going! Ask me if you get lost. I was a boyscout in my younger days. Wonderful carvings! Jörg

I already renamed it and pushed it into the build-log section. We will creat it own project file asap and transfer it in there, meanwhile just continue in this thread :-)
All the best and congratulation for this wonderful model you are presenting, it is a pleasure to see it here, Daniel
Hello Chuck, your outstanding work in the MSW has been inspiring me for a long time. All the more i am looking forward finding you here again as a protagonist of ship model building. I very much appreciate your coming contributions!
I think it is an honour for the whole Forum to have you here and spend the time to post here your build log of this piece of art, which is your built of the Longboat.
I'm happily looking forward to it!
All the best, Herbert

I and the English are not the best friends, sorry. But I wanted to say thank you for your great rigging blocks! They are the best thing that could happen to my HMS Mercury. I wish you all the best for your current project and will visit it regularly.
