[@ech0tang0]

I am sure this series will make me take the plunge into ship modeling.

Great introductory video. I've been looking forward to this series. I know its aimed at beginners but I find ,it doesn't matter how much experience you have, you can always learn something new.

[@joepucillo1338]

Hi Jason, I’m really looking forward to this build series. Always interested in something new. I appreciate the time you spend for the beginner in this hobby.

[@soppdrake]

Vanguard give the modeller the opportunity of downloading the instructions, which I have done and will be very handy while I am following your build 😊

[@ModelkitStuff]

Are you going to be building along?

[@soppdrake]

'Fraid not! 😢

Jason, I purchased my HM Sherbourne this morning from Age of Sail here in the U.S. The adjustable pin pusher was more difficult to find. I was able to get it from the U.K. Amazon site with shipping for $30.00 U.S. Most of the other tools you recommend I already have. I’m looking forward to this adventure. I’ll probably start in the spring. You should have a good number of videos on the build by then. Have a good week.

Micro-Mark in the US always used to suck them they may be called push hammers in the US

Jason, A well detailed and unbiased view of the tools required in order to begin your first build……really enjoyed it and most useful…….looking forward to the next instalment….👍

Hi Jason, Great video! I'll be looking forward to seeing part 2. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day.

[@garylane5677]

Christmas money spent and Sherborne on order Looking forward to following this series

[@ukdave57]

Great start to what I'm sure is going to be a very informative and interesting build series.

[@arthurrytis6010]

I know this will encourage many people my self included to give it a try. More power to your elbow. Great video.

[@soppdrake]

Jason! What a fantastic idea! The kit looks wonderful - I will be checking the build as the vids drop. Never built a ship model so you have really got me interested. Maybe one day I'll get the kit and knuckle down. 😊

[@andrewjones1649]

Great video, Jason. I've done a bit, but I've learned two new things already. This might be your best series yet.

[@goforitpainting]

Cool tools. 🛠

[@soppdrake]

Your camera-blower is the bomb!

[@markIburgess]

Going to watch this this evening after work with a beer 😉 I have this kit as a first model and completed the first planking. I had to have a second attempt at this as after 4 planks one side was going a bit odd, so I stripped it off, got some more strips and started again. This time I had more success. In between the two attempts though I got the Polaris by Occre and following the videos by Home Harbour am well on my way with that.. Currently up to making the masts. I will follow this build with interest.

I have a Wooden model in m'y stash for about 30 years. Started it all wrong but feel like i van reopen that ans give it a try with your help. Thanks a lot ans keep Up the good work. Going that eau we should expect 20k. 😂

[@PhilipJames_B]

I've taken the plunge to build along with you... Sherborne, pin pusher and clamps ordered... I have all the other tools available from other modelling

[@richardgriess1920]

Hi Jason it’s Richard (AXLE) Griess across the pond. I guess I’m going to have to put some modeling projects on hold and squeeze the SHERBORNE in. So, I’m new kid when comes to building a wooden model ship (built boat load of rc planes and gliders in my day). I will have to wait for payday midmonth to order the kit ( it’s hell having to pull this sea chain around, hahaha) But I’m game, the models likes it is well manufactured. Looks like a great series.

[@ModelkitStuff]

I am sure you will enjoy it

[@neiltristram638]

A great start to the takeover. And a few new tools to buy 😂

[@AlbertD711]

Excellent video Jason. I plan to buy this kit and follow along as soon as my budget allows. Thank you.

[@ModelkitStuff]

Awesome, thank you!

[@WayneBall-ve7bz]

Hi Jason, first of all congratulations on the 10k milestone. I came back to modeling in the pandemic and mostly done plastic 1/72 with some 1/35 armour. Then a few weeks ago you (on the best model show in my mind) announced this project build. I've never built a wooden model (a bit remiss since I'm ex Navy) but I got my hands on the sherbourne (3 times more than I've ever paid for a kit) and watching this project part 1 of the build I'm really looking forward to getting under way. Keep up the good work & may it soon be 15k.

[@ModelkitStuff]

I am sure you will enjoy it

[@paulleigh7792]

Excellent series as usual. Have bought the HMS Sherbourne and expecting delivery on Monday 7 Oct.. I think I am right that you have purchased the Proxxon DB 250 mini lathe. If so, is it possible you could demonstrate turning a mast and yard on the Sherbourne. I have one and need a tutorial on how to do it and the tools required. If anyone else can help with advice also, I would be most grateful. If aware of a channel already featuring my request, this would be a great help. I am a complete beginner and hope Jason’s build is aimed at the likes of me. Ben from Midwest Models is also on with the HMS Sherbourne build though I guess all will be aware of this? Best wishes to all.

[@ModelkitStuff]

I use my lathe on the Endevour mast so keep your eyes out for those videos

[@aberration3869]

Not to argue with you Jason but perhaps the earliest models were actually models of the human body. They have examples going back 10,000 years!

[@PennysPitstop]

Your choice of words sometimes make me laugh Jason, good job I know what you mean. 1:10 The aim is to get someone who has never build a wooden model ship and get them to do one LOL
