  1. I've used maple and have been quite satisfied.
  2. DB...if it took much skill I wouldn't own one. Good Luck.
  3. Responses pretty much are what I was looking for....thanks!
  4. BRIG Adder.....never could worth a damn.
  5. I'd probably skip the sails, but the lines of the Occre ship are great.
  6. I have the former unstarted, but I'm curious if anyone can compare these two kits.
  7. Yo DB.....I cut my own deck planks (Jim saw) out of some maple pieces I acquired at the now closed (here anyway) Woodcraft shop. Turned our quite IMO.
  8. I'm going back and try to finish my Speedy. However, I cannot find any sheets before #8. Model is built up to and including the deck. I've also finished foremast, main many, and bowsprit....no spars jibs booms etc. If you still have your plans, which plan sheet(s) include these? I am, hopefully, going to try to obtain those from Vanguard. Thanks in advance.
  9. Wasn't quite sure where to put this, but here goes: A couple years ago, I stopped my build of Vanguard's Speedy. At that point, I had gotten to the point where I had made the two masts and the bowsprit. Next step was going to be spars and then rigging. The parts size were getting the best of me so I decided to take a break from this build for while. While this break was longer than I anticipated, I just redid my workspace and decided to finish the Speedy. However, it has acquired a considerable amount of dust. Any sugestions on removing it?
  10. Ended up inserting and gluing a large sewing needle into a wood dowel. I think this will do the trick, and I had both laying around. We'll see how it works. Thanks to all. I hereby award Gregory a "Solve" pin.
  11. did you use kit supplied belaying pins. awesome job on hull....spray painted?
