Looks very good.

Hello Andrew. It looks like you had two logs for this build. I removed one of them so post your updates here.

Nice planking, looks really good.

Very nice. I do like to color of the wood.

I've used balsa and it works well

I planked the Sphinx starting at the stern. I think its a much easier way to do it.

It will be worth every penny I think.

Welcome to MSW and welcome back to the hobby.

Good to see you back at it Tom. Hope all is well.

I imagine that's very likely.

 

If in doubt, just drop Pavel an email and verify. It really looks a very sweet kit.

For sure. The parts all look to be very good quality.

I've started building this kit recently. I think it's great so far.

Good to know. Thanks. I just bought one within the last month so it's probably good to go.

I can't help but wonder if the plank problem is universal or if this particular kit was a one off.

That does help. It doesn't have to be complicated. I think a pretty stiff sanding stick probably would be best.

You got it. I inherited a ton of tools from my father in law who was a machinist. This bevel edged blade was amongst them. I had no idea they were so much more expensive than a regular bladed edge but the tool is fantastic for transferring lines from table to model.

 

I put no finish on my models. Personal preference.

 

 

 

 

 

You can get one from amazon for a little less.
