The store where I bought this one was 'JoJo Modellbau', but there where stickers from Krick on the box also. So I think this shop bought it from Krick indeed. (price difference was significant) It looks that they replaced the manual with the English one from your site, so quite happy with that service of them. -
Dankjewel! Ik denk dat ik er zeker veel plezier van ga hebben. (Thanks! I think I will enjoy this the build a lot) Also wanted to add....thank you Chris for labeling everything! Every bag with little parts, thread and wood panel is labeled with numbers which makes everything very easy to find and indentify. A little detail which makes a lot of difference in enjoyment.

Yes feeling like a little kid on his birthday again...received today a nice large box with the mail! 🎊 I won't take any unboxing pictures, because James did a fine job of that in the prototype log: But I took a first glance in the box and was amazed with it's contents. First the plans and manual are really great, and lots of them! The amount of work in them must be phenomanal. All the wood looks real good also. What really stood out to me was the amount of lasered and pre-cut wood! And the little bunch of loose planks compaired to other kits i've seen. This kit is really something else in development and inovation. Great job of Chris and ofcourse James also with building and photographing the prototype. First step now is to take inventory...if everything is in the box and then we can begin!

Hello to you all, It's been a while since I've been here online. I was dealing with some personal stuff and didn't feel to work on this lovely hobby of ours. But lately I wanted to have something to work on again. I was building the HMS Pegasus from Amati, and I am about halfway I think. But the motivation to work further on that project is a bit low. The great kits that Chris Watton is producing now in his own company are so much further in design and realism that it's difficult to unsee the flaws in the earlier designed kits with the less quality materials and poor instructions. Ofcourse there is a lot to learn about building these kits and you can easily update them with other materials, but at the moment I just like to build something that is just beautiful and great out of the box without the need of altering to much. And Chris his new stuff is just perfect for this in my opinion. Luckily I had the funds now to purchase such a gem from Vanguard Models and it's the HMS Sphinx. I ordered it yesterday from a online store in Germany so I need to wait a few days before it arrives here in the Netherlands. There are already great building logs here on MSW, so this one won't add much to it. But it's nice to have a watchful eye of the designer and builder here on the forum, may I run into some difficulties.

Same for me...i also didn't bother to much about the planking beneath the copper...only the planks above have to look crisp in my opinion. But when you need to practice planking then it would be a good opportunity to do all planking perfect. You are going fast! Everything looking great! 👍

It amazes me how many ship models you produce in such short amount of time...especially this monster! Plus the photowork etc you need to do for the manuals. Taking my imaginaire hat off for you James! And ofcourse also for Chris his rate of developing!

Can I start over with my own build? Man this is beautiful!!

Looks even bigger with the copper! Cool 😁 I understand for the final box photos the copper needs to be clear and even. Personally...i like when it immediately gets its own patina, it gives a nice weathered look.

Tnx! Nice size and shape...looking forward how this one turns out!

Looks quite big! What's the hull length?

Great job James! I'm coppering the Pegasus now and that's quite a job already...can't imagine the amount of work on the Indy! However...I think the copper tape works easier and faster then little plates. What's you're experience with this James?
