Hello Pierre, I had a look at your model and it made everything clear. It looks great, by the way! Don`t know how I had gotten the idea, that parts 61 and 62 are fixed temporarily , I guess I just did not read carefully enough Thanks for helping, Martin -
Hello Pierre, Boris and Mobbsie, Thanks for your descriptions of how you do things. Right now I am at the state where the first planking starts. I have to fix the walnut pieces temporarily. I wonder how I fix these two pieces (61 and 62) temporarily without damaging the walnut.,.Perhaps a very little drop of superglue and using a debonder later? Mine have two little "engravings" at the wide side: A triangle and something like two squares. I wonder if this happened by coincidence or does it serve any purpose? I guess I will put it (the engraving) towards the inside of the ship. Does any of you "Aggie-builders" noticed the same in his/her kit? I wished I would be better with the camera. My wife was the computer/picture expert, I was the builder. Since she left me, I have a problem...But I sti8ll have the equipment and I guess I will have to learn it, in order to upload some pictures. Greetings, Martin

Hello Pierre, Thank you for answering. I guess you can do it either way. I personally tend to follow the main way, because I don`t trust myself enough to deviate from the description. This book seems to be a good recommendation. I will try to get a copy... Greetings from Germany Martin

Hello Martin (my name is Martin, too by the way), Nice work, that you have done, I wish you good luck in the upcoming stages. I only have one question, though. I am building the same model right now, and I am before the start of the first planking. I thought, however, that you have to leave the false decks there ( pinned) while you are doing this. But I see you made it differently. Doesn`t it matter how you do it, or have you already removed the decks, because you have reached the top? Greetings, Martin

Hello Pierre, Thank you very much for the tip and the illustration. It makes sense to me that it is most important to meet the levels of the decks. The homemade sailors add a special touch, make the ship more "alive"... Greetings from Gerrmany, Karin -

Hello Mr. PMG, I am impressed with your ship! Good work! I started it myself a few weeks ago. I have already a small problem: The second bulkhead (from bow) sits a bit deep. The hole for the bowsprit does not line up. If I raise the bulkhead (by putting a piece of wood in the slot) The top floor seems to high. Did you encounter a similar problem, and how did you solve it? The sailors look great, too. I guess you bought them extra. Good luck and keep up the good work! Karin
