For beginners and experts alike. A true plank-frame armed captain's longboat in 1:24 scale measuring approximately 24" from bowsprit to tip of boom. 

Every wood detail in the original longboat has been captured in 9 sheets of laser-cut  basswood (no plywood) and over 60 basswood strips and dowels. 
 
Thirty-six cast Britannia metal (lead-free pewter) detail parts capture every iron fitting as well as the cannon and swivel guns. 

Brass split rings, rods, eyebolts, nails, parrels and Belaying Pins are machined and polished. Thirty-four yards and five diameters of jewelry, no-stretch and easy to knot nylon rigging replicates the original. 

Twenty-two walnut blocks and deadeyes compliment the rigging lines. All the decorations you see along the bulwarks and transom of the longboat are neither decals nor painted; they are photo-etched brass and are included.

The 3 sheets of 34 x 44" plans are true to model size. 

The 48 page instruction booklet with over 130 color photos leave nothing to the imagination. It is the most comprehensive, step-by-step instruction manual ever created for a wood ship model. 

Note: there is a paint set available to duplicate the paints and stains used in the prototype armed length in the photos you see here.  It is MS1460MS. The set contains 10 bottles of paints and stains.
