WOOD Ship Model MAKING 102, The Beginner's Guide, Model Shipways Norwegian Sailing Pram

- So many would-be modelers want to begin by building a huge 100-gun ship of the line. Most of those very expensive kits get started but never finished. The job is much too complex and the poor builder hasn’t acquired the skills needed.
For this second, intermediate kit, some previous knowledge is necessary in order to be successful. If you have already built the Model Expo Lowell dory kit, you are well prepared. If you haven’t, I strongly recommend you do so first, as you will learn valuable techniques, tips and methods that will come in very useful for this model. I’d hate for you to give up in frustration because you lack some basics first.

-- About Pram Boat --
A pram is a small utility dinghy with a transom bow rather than a pointed bow. This type of pram provides a more efficient use of space than does a traditional skiff of the same size. The Mirror and Optimist sailboats are examples of this form. Modern prams are often 8 to 10 feet long and built of plywood, fiberglass, plastic or aluminum. They are usually oar powered. The Norwegian pram is commonly made of solid timber with much fore and aft rocker with a U-shaped cross section.

Thanks for the video! I’ve watched it over and over as I’m working on mine.
Glad it helped! Happy new year!
Waiting for 103.
Perfect timing! About to begin mine. I appreciate your videos, they’re a huge help.
Glad to help!
I've built Model Railroading craftsman kits of structures and scratchbuilt a few. Also done some paper modeling of ships. As a skill builder some of the card models might be a good skill building strating point. Especially if the builder gets either a digtal edition or scans the pages of a printed kit. That way if the beginner screws up (and he or she will) they can just print new sheets and start again. The main point for a beginner is not to bite off more than you can chew. Skill over reach can lead to frustration. And wood kits are pricey enough that some basic skills need to be mastered early.
One note about paper or card models. There are modelers of larger ships that will use a card model of a vessel as a starting point to scratch build a model of that vessel. Also card models can be scaled up easily at any print shop. Or even at home by judicious cut and paste of scanned or digital copies.
I really enjoyed this video, as I did the dory. (I did finish the dory; very happy with it)! Have been debating about the Pram as have some other Midwest & BlueJacket kits I feel ready for as well. Watching your techniques, esp with the close-ups has been very helpful! Thank you for such great videos!
Thank you, Jackie. Glad to help. Good luck building!
I love your builds - the display of your skills is invaluable as a reference for when I work on my own wooden ship projects. But may I make a suggestion? I would get rid of the music. Perhaps it's just my preference, but my favorite artists and model builders use ambient sound and no music - ASMR. Thanks and keep up the great work.
You will hear my little ones screaming in the background if I remove the music. 😂 I will certainly try ASMR later when I have a better place to film. Thank you 😊
Great video. It’s helping me a lot so I’ll finish mine soon. When is #103 going to be published?
Thank you, John. The 103 is on my calendar but I’m afraid it will be pushed to earlier next year. Busy with other builds now. :P But definitely coming! Enjoy your build!
What did you use to wrap the oars for the leather?
Craft origami paper
What is the color blue you used for the outside hull?
I used “winter blue” acrylic paint. It looks great in other colors too. Enjoy your build!
