dragzz got a reaction from popeye the sailor in Bluenose by dragzz - Model Shipways
I am not sure what's going on but model ship ways needs much better quality control Not sure if anybody else building this model is having problems with parts not fitting castings that are not good at all it makes it really hard I am finding a lot of the laser cut parts are not fitting or there too big or too smalle not cut right The need much better quality control

Thank you for that info I'll get right to that but I have one problem that I'm looking at I need to install the main rail my plans it does not show any pictures that I have to cut the main rail so I'm not sure if it's a straight piece or if it's curved in some sections I figured I could just cut it from the plans and put it on the peace wood cut it out but it does not show that so I'm kind of stuck right there

Had a little mishap happened last night cat was jumping around caught the back of the boat and broke it right off so on this boat at the back when building it be very careful because it will break off very easily that's one part of the ship that really needs to be strengthened up first before you work on it at the back at all just letting other people know

Unless, or untill, you reach the point of scratch building your models, the errors in the kit are just a fact of life.
I have already accepted that my Bluenose, which is my first build, is more of a learning tool for future builds. I doubt anyone becomes an accomplished shiprwright untill they work their way through the first build.
Stick with it and make each stage your best effort. You will be surprised at how much you skill improves as you progress through the build.
