Hi Banyan
Just been reading your build log on the "Endeavour", and am finding it very interesting. I have been building my H.M. Bark Endeavour now for the past 2 months and have progressed as far as the first layer of strakes.
I was given a 1:48 kit of the Endeavour to assemble, but at first was a bit nervous to tackle such a complicated model as a first build. So far the exellent instructions and pictures guide one through the process and is making it a great deal easier for a beginner.
Note of your and others comments in your build log and correspondence, will surely help when I get to those details.
Happy modeling
