The ship Palmyra was built at the Robert Steele Company on the River Clyde, Scotland.

What research have you conducted so far? Would not want to pass along knowledge you already have and thus wade through your emails.

Earl Grey (1835 Ship): A British merchant sailing ship built in Newcastle upon Tyne that famously completed four convict transport voyages to Australia.

From what I am seeing, Earl Grey was a typical sailing ship resembling the Cutty Sark and other such .

Compare the photo with other clipper ships, if your desire is to build a bookshelf model, then built a model of a clipper & add the name plate desired ship name.

Looking at the Earl Grey Mizzen Mast, just remove the yard arms from the Cutty Sark. Also 1 less yard arm from the Main mast.
The Thermopylae in its later years reduced the sail square yardage. It removed the Mizen yard arms too.

Look at the life boat located on the Earl Grey and the Cutty Sark or the Thermopylae cutter.

Here in these photos we can clearly see the reduced canvas being carried by the Thermopylae on the Mizen .

Mmmm, well, off-grid hydro, hey. Food you say, huh? OK, yup, "move along, nothing to see here..."

Ender 3. Cool, we all have to start somewhere. Love to get your thoughts on options.

Tending towards more resin based printers than fibre rolls, but I'm not sure the quality output I'm after falls within my budget just yet.

However, I'm also eyeing off a basic FPV drone as a base for a few agricultural projects I have in mind.

But, right now I want to build an old sailing ship or two.

The question is where do you start if Tamiya(?) don't do a kit already?

🤣😉

Akay worked in Perth 20 years
Don't ask about myself and motor bikes a bad mix
Off the grid a few years back all our food came via an 'Off the Grid Hydroponics System'
At the moment I have an Ender 3 bottom of the range, one day will update Col

I guess someone should ask where's your buccaneers... under you bucking hat Col

@jumpugly

Haha... thanks Sir🫡.

I was wondering how long the first Arrrrr would take.

Aye Mate! Welcome aboard to the best damn website there be!!! ARR!!!!

Reservoir, Melbourne.

I built and repaired mainly electronic stuff by trade(worked and lived in Perth for 7 years), the odd scale motorbike and robots, computers and cyber security stuff by research and need. Off grid solar setups, etc. etc. Just tinker here and there now.

Planning on buying a 3D printer in the new year. Can't wait

How about you?

Murray two questions what part of the large island is your home and the type of craft you build Col

@ColRay

Hey there, thanks for dropping by.

Very interesting.

I have just done the genealogy journey on my paternal side and it was such an eye opener and well worth the effort.

I'm not sure how well setup the WA convict records are for the public, but my great-great-great grandparents were both convicts and she went to the Cascades Women's Prison and he to Port Arthur, 7 years in both cases. Tasmania have fantastic historical convict records and infrastructure to research through.

In addition, one of the earliest industries in Tassie was ship building from the native and abundant Huon Pine resources and, of course, huge number of un/under employed ship-builders who ended-up there. Similar to Sth West WA's Jarrah and Karri resources no doubt.

I'm happy to help suggest a few sites and government resources if you want to follow it up. The entire journey cost me nothing but time, if you know where to start.

Cheers and thanks for the welcome.

Murray

G'day Murray a warm welcome from the south of WA
I also have a convict in the woodwork Uncle George who was one of the fourteen men transported to Australia after the Pentrich Revolution of 1817.
That if the online records can be trusted . my view is 50/50 Col

@Avoca
Welcome from me too, Murray.

@EdW Cheers Ed.
