New to site and need a little help finding building instructions for The Roger T Tany Balitmore clipper.

[dc12]

Hello, i recently acquired a 1-54 scale Wooden ship it is the Roger B Tany  Revenue Cutter Taney a Balitmore Clipper and there were no directions in the box so i was searching on Google for it in the hope of finding some plans or whatever this site came up and a fella that go's buy the name of 10 finders was building one and put up a lot of pics here while he was building it I think he was building this ship back in 2014 and I was wondering if he is still around or if anyone knows him ?  I would appreciate any help if you know him or anyone building the 1-54 scale Wooden ship it is the Roger B Tany  Revenue Cutter Taney a Balitmore Clipper. I like the site and will be sticking around building some models and watching what you guys are building. The model manufacture was a Spanish company that is out of business 

Thanks Dale

Welcome.

I'm not the droid you're looking for, but I build wooden ships occasionally.

I found three mentions of names of Roger B. Taney kit-makers that might be Spanish...Modelismo, Dikar, and Amati.

This is the Modelismo kit. 

There appears to be very little info on either kit on the web, but there is another manufacturer of a wooden kit of the Taney, Model Shipways, and there is one currently on eBay for $55. The plans might be helpful to complete your model, after which you could sell the Shipways kit on. The asking price for the Model Shipways kit of this boat is usually much higher.

There is also a Pyro plastic model of the Taney (fairly expensive) which could be helpful in completing your rigging, at the very least...again, selling the plastic kit on after completing your wooden model.

I found a cheap plastic model of the Canadian fishing/racing schooner Bluenose to be extremely helpful during the restoration and re-rigging of a 1/48 scale museum model of her I inherited many years ago.

One more idea...the forum below can be very useful, and someone on it just might have the instructions you need.

Here's a video of a full build of a complex wooden ship model that may also prove to be helpful.

Glad you are here to show us your work.  Have you checked out the NRG Nautical Research Guild forum?  They have all kinds of information on model ship building.
