Junior Course | Alt. Junior Course | Senior Course

The Alternate Junior Course is based on the Panart kit (MA738), HMS Victory. However, this course will also work with the Mantua kit. This course departs from standard, out of the box construction and introduces the modeler to kitbashing. Extensive modifications are made to the design of the kit. A new set of plans drawn by John McKay in his book Anatomy of the 100 Gun Ship, Victory are used to modify the kit making the model more accurate. Extensive scratchbuilding techniques are covered .

Because this course introduces the modeler to many scratchbuilding techniques, certain power tools are required such as a miniature table saw. This course is recommended for modelers with experience in building model ships. A substitute wood package is also used and can be purchased from HobbyMill Corp.

The course comes on 2 CD's and contains 24 chapters in all. The course covers hull construction only. A separate generic Rigging practicum is also available. Five optional photo CD's are also available for the course. To purchase this coures, click on the appropriate button. To read a sample chapter, click here.
