  1. Oh and also I purchased a ladies ceramic hair curler from Target for $19 for plank bending....Works absolutely fantastic!
  2. Rightio, I have made some very slow progress. But I am very happy that I am learning alot. I have never worked with Balsa before, but what a magic wood it is !!! Natures Styrofoam. So far I have broken so many things.....I didn't know wooden models are so fragile. Anywho I will press on
  3. G'day Rick, Thanks so much for the reply. I am actually following your post on your Longboat build and have taken many good notes. I am really loving my build BUT I am so used to the likes of TAMIYA plastic kit instruction that are very, very, detailed. So I am a little lost. But I will push forward. Cheers mate.
  4. Hi Telp, I am currently building the Endeavour Longboat also. Any tricks or tips you learnt along the build and would like to pass on would be appreciated. It looks like you did a great job. Your right about the instructions - TERRIBLE!
  5. Thanks Dave. I chose this Longboat as a practice run before I tackle the Endeavour proper. I am really enjoying it, more so than I estimated. Although I would hate to have to build it without the help of the Internet or other modellers.
  6. Ok, thanks for the help guys. The instructions are bloody terrible for a beginner!!
  7. G'day everyone, I have started my first wooden boat build, and I am absolutely loving it. But... I am lost on a lot of the directions supplied in the manual. So if I could ask the more experienced model builders for help , that would be great. I think I have glued the stern bulkhead incorrectly? Also, when first planking should, the plank sit flush with the keel? And also is this alignment correct on the first plank? I have a million questions but, I will leave it for now
