Hi All, I decided to put HMB Endeavor on-hold for now as I was not feeling "The Love" so much with this. I have long been keen to get into the Flying Cloud, it's been in the cupboard fort a few years and it's t6ime to get into something completely new. So, out with the box and reviewing plans/instructions. Pretty early on, it was evident that the Italian Parts List was in need of translation. I have been working on a Spread Sheet this for a couple of days now and am at the stage where I can, very soon, make a start. (I have a few hundred other items to add to this....) To get things in order immediately, I have employed the services of Custom Hobby Decals, Australia, to render decal for the Stern Decoration/Trail Board Name in place of the kit supplied white metal castings. (I am hoping that the final render for these will be ready in a day or two.) I have also located some excellent reference material as well as some other bits and pieces. sobco.com/ship_model/fc/Flying_Cloud_plans_bradner.html The kit is double POB, reasonably standard stuff. I'll be looking to Cooper the Hull rather than using the kit supplied "Greenish" wooden plates. This will be the first time that I will have attempted a Mamoli kit and I am looking forward to a Clipper to keep the Cutty Sark company. Cheers....HOF Photos and Spread Sheet if anyone has an interest: Flying Cloud Parts List.xlsx
