I have most of their Sovereign of the Seas Kit and I would say its comparable to the quality of most other kit manufacturers out there. As mentioned above there are no plans, just instructions.

Good to see you back Robbyn -
Hi Greg. This is still the current log. I have neglected the model for some time now and it sits here on the shelf awaiting my attention. I will be back to it soon I think. I've been focusing more on my other hobbies lately and perhaps secretly working on another model ship. Thanks, Jeff

I use the vinegar method also and it works great. I soak the photo etch for about 20 minutes.

Here are a couple of options: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mini-DRILL-CHUCK-model-ship-wood-kit-pin-vise-1-4-/161527436656?pt=Model_Kit_US&hash=item259bc91570 http://www.ebay.com/itm/MICRO-DRILL-CHUCK-model-ship-wood-kit-pin-vise-/161527436572?pt=Model_Kit_US&hash=item259bc9151c -
AL makes one also, its pricey but you may be able to find a deal on ebay. Caldercraft was working one one but I'm not sure when, or if it will ever be released.

fantastic work Albert. -
Thanks for the suggestion Janet. I think I get the idea. Would you happen to have a diagram of the suggested jig, or a picture?
-
Good advice. I learned something today.
-
Nice work!

Good to see you back at it Adrieke

I'm starting to buy into the balsa technique.
-
I just place a soft cloth between the hull and the stand I use to keep it safe.
-
Beautiful work on the hull.
-
You should be able to get the dremel collets from amazon. The small one that came with my dremel works well for small bits. I'm not sure about the size though, maybe a 1/32?
-
Thanks. It has been a challenge every step of the way.
-
The portholes on the MS version are pretty much the same. Its just a cast metal porthole inserted into an opening drilled in the hull.
-
No problem Rich. Bills photos should help quite a bit.
