Written plans call for 2 parts #47 near the companionway. However, in none of the pics, or plans does it show these pieces actually installed. Any help?

I'm building the Erycina. The directions say to prime, then paint the brass fittings. Does anyone do this? If so, what do you prime with? Thanks -
Very nice work! While I am in the middle of a smaller kit right now, you have inspired me to go back to my uncompleted Cheerful. I stopped when I just could not get a decent drop plank cut. It always ticks me off when I look at her. I'm not usually a quitter, but this somehow frustrated me greatly. Glad I didn't sell my Jim saw and thickness sander yet.

Kurt....are there any build logs or pictures of these kits? Thanks/John

Not looking for freighters, but any other type of work vessel, fishing vessel, or fighting ship. Aside from the Niagra, does anyone know of any others?

My first build was Caldercraft's Sherbourne. I might build Chris' version. I like cutters/

If I sell them, I really don't want to ship. if possible. Have a few past bad experiences with heavy mechanical/electronics stuff. 'd be willing to drive a radius of 100 mikes from Toledo, Ohio to meet a buyer.

Wow..I am unlikely to try another scratch build and was thinking of selling my Jim saw and thickness sander. No idea what to ask. I mean his equipment is definitely top notch, but $1500 just for the saw?

Got it....Thanks! Might try this myself.

Rob...Still don't understand why you didn't edge bend that bottom plank at the stern to meet the plank above. Most people probably understood your explanation, but I'm an old fart. Great job BTW. Myself....just finishing the first planking.

How about $300 + shipping to USA only.

I received this as a gift, but with not too many starts left in me, I decided to do something a bit simpler. My first ship was a cutter by Jotika, which I enjoyed building. I really like the look of Vanguard's Cutter Alert and thought maybe that's what I should try next. In any case, I m going try selling the Grecian kit. It's been opened but that's it. Asking $325 US, plus shipping from 43528 (USA only). Message me if any interest.
