I know what your saying Brian. I don't think I have the skills to pull of the split hull so I think its best for me to not do so.. -
Glad to hear that Bob.

I couldn't help myself. The box is open so I took some pictures. This is part 1 for the kit so it has all the parts necessary to finish the framing. At least I think so. I don't really know what I'm looking at yet since I don't have the plans. Tom did respond and everything will be in the mail shortly. There are two boxes. One contains the parts for the ship and the other is the parts for the build jig. Most parts are laser cut and they look very good. There are a few parts that are CNC cut I think. The keel parts are somewhere in there too I think, 6B maybe.

Thanks for following! I just popped open the box, no pictures yet though. I did however notice that there are no plans, frame diagrams or instructions in the box so I sent Tom a message to sort that out.

Oh...and I'll also mention that I won't be building the split hull option.

This will be my build log for the CAF Model HMS Granado, 1/48 scale. I've always wanted to build a true plank on frame and thought this would be a good place to start. This is to be more of a side project so there won't be rapid progress. I'll open the box this weekend and post some pictures of what's inside as a start.

Can you make a template from the plans? I think that would be helpful in getting the shape correct.

Welcome to MSW. Your model looks very nice!

Looks like metal to me. Can't tell from the pictures that its actually wood.

Welcome to MSW. One way you can do that is to follow your topic, look to the upper right corner of the topic. There is also an index that I update periodically that you can download. It will have a link to your build log:

Hello and welcome to MSW
-
After a weeks long battle with card stock, tape, and myself, I've finally finished the 7th row. I recently discovered that planking a hull is a lot more challenging when precision is needed. I did a little preliminary sanding but not much. I don't want to take too much off since the planks are thin. I plan to just smooth out the edges and then hit it with some 800 and 100 grit to prepare for a few coats of poly. Only two more rows to go.
