    I mainly use 32. One thing I would recommend(which is common sense really). When using the metal mitre block place some scrap wood on the bottom of block to save damaging the teeth.

    Yes I agree with Kevin. Tried every brand never had much luck. Any metal parts I clean first in acetone, then undercoat with metal primer. The spray black either from airbrush or can spray.

    They were copper lined to stop sparks and thus potentially explosion.

    Rudder not yet finished. Took most of a Sunday afternoon. All metal work will be painted Matt black. Yours is coming along excellently.
  25. Swinging the lead
    Looking good. I would say the hardest part is done. Plain sailing from now on! Some of the brass etch is tiny.

    You’ve done a good job so far. The wood for the deck is not the best, very flaky. I’ve started the planking. No problem so far. Take your time getting the first one right. The rest should follow easily.
  28. Swinging the lead
    At the moment I am cleaning up all the brass etch ready for the paint shop.

    Didn’t mean to high Jack your build log, just showing how good they build. Looking forward following your build.

    With a dry fit I found the 3 keel pieces very tight managed to file the frame to fit. It might be best to small pieces of scrap wood to make sure it fits when building the frame. Hope this makes sense.

    I am building this at the moment. This is my third Master Korabel. Exceptional kits. Very completely and the instructions are second to non. One piece of advice I would give is to give the frame parts a very slight sanding. Just take off the char. Otherwise the fit is that excellent you might not get them apart. And age is just a number!

    These are excellent kits. I sent for this and the John Smith open boat. Took a while to be delivered, but considering what’s going on in there country it’s very understandable. With regards to this kit a couple of weeks after delivery I got a email informing me of the problem and replacements would be sent. These arrived about 2 weeks later. Like I said excellent kits and service.
  35. Swinging the lead
    I ordered 2 items yesterday. Having problems making payments and contacting them. They look like excellent kits.
  36. Swinging the lead
    I am intrigued by these kits. I know they come with paints but was the deck printed in colour or did you paint it. Also can you tell me the thickness of card for the various structures. I believe the masts are wood dowel? You are doing a excellent job. Ken
