Thanks guys. I’m feeling optimistic that things will get better.

Hello everyone. Just wanted to let everyone know that my build is temporarily on hold. I'm the unlucky recipient of not one, but two autoimmune disorders, one of which is affecting my vision. My immune system has decided that my eyes are a foreign invader and is attacking them. As a result, I'm having vision difficulties. I have started treatment and I'm hopeful things will improve enough in a few weeks to get back to it.

Nicely done

I built this model years ago and I think I used Eduard or Toms modelworks PE. I had to buy the wood deck separately.

Well that was fast. Looks very good.

Another potential issue. Hopefully I'm not just being dumb again but cant find anything in the notes about this. I can't find one piece of Cant frame part 9. I'm not able to find one of the lower parts of the frame. There are 3 parts for frame 10 though. I circled the three 10's and the one 9 in the photo. I looked everywhere for the other part 9.

Okay, now I remember why I dismissed the note on the 10a and Af parts. When I checked my kit I saw that I had a set of correctly marked 10a's, so I assumed I had the corrected kit. I have both sets of parts, the correctly marked 10a's and the originally incorrectly marked Af's.

Problem solved. I still had the old chapter one mono. Just downloaded the new one.

Thanks. I totally forgot about that.

So, I'm in the process of separating all the frame parts and I'm concerned about the parts for frame Af. My Af frame parts don't seem to fit together very well. The upper timbers seem to be over sized compared to the lower frame at the joint, pictures below. This surprised me since all the others fit together almost perfectly. Did anyone else encounter this? Or is just me? I'm confident I have the right parts.

Its been a while since updated this log. I have started working on the masts. This is not something I usually do so I'm learning as I go.

The mirror is a great idea

Trying to get back in the saddle here. Continuing on with my gap issue with the apron. I went back a couple of steps here and removed most of the forward parts of the rabbet strip and replaced it. This was because I removed some material in an attempt to get the apron to sit flush, which didn't work. I decided to replace the rabbet strips with the 1/16 strip included in the kit. I cut the first two parts to match the length of the kit parts. I soaked them and clamped in place to hold the shape and then glued them on afterwards. I also removed two of the upper parts to allow the apron to flex a bit. They may have also have been causing the lower apron to straighten a bit. At this point its nearly a perfect fit and it doesn't look like I will need any flex at all. The next challenge for me is gluing the parts on. These parts are wider than the keel so I will need to figure out how to make sure I get them properly centered.

Very nice model!

I'm a little behind on this. I've had a couple medical procedures to deal with over the last two weeks so I haven't been able to do much. I'll be back on it soon.

Very nice carvings! -
The laser level is a good idea.

I think that may be the case. I will double check everything.
