Hi flyer

Just a question  did you  use .5×3 mm strips  for both 1st and 2nd planking  and did you  stagger  them from  1st to 2ntd planking 

Thanks  mate great  looking  ship

Cheers snowy 

Great job Emmet  love your rigging 

Cheers snowy 

Hi Emmet 

Great ship I have also been thinking  of building an older ship 

Keep up the great work Cheers snowy 

Hi Emmet 

Yeah I made them my self just  have  to sacrifice  a few clips to put the clip inside the other 

Cheers  and happy  Easter  snowy 

Looking good 

Hi Rob snowy  here 

Personally  I  soak all my planks for 1 to 1half hours and do just 2 a day and let them dry I too love the  electric plank bender but I 

First cut  1 end to start  then bent to shape about 5 mm apart ( depending)  with the  amati  hand bender then glue  about  150mm with mostly wood glue and dabs of superglue  then work my way along in stages .I use  the heat bender to run across  the planks after cleaned .Frank mastini ( great book)as the reckons it heats the glue and helps the planks 

Cheers snowy 

Hi mate going  great 

At least now we have  more time  to build  

Happy  modelling

Hi Clare

Interesting ship ,I do like the layout of the  plans  

Can't wait  to see your build  log

Cheers snowy 

Thanks mate yeah I see what you mean  by putting  a little  bit of ca  on but keep to the wood glue. 

Cheers snowy 

Hi all just building  the amati  victory  vanguard  and it says use superglue  ,being  1mm I think it would  be  hard with wood  glue  .anyone  had any  trouble  gluing 1mm on 2nmd layer  with superglue  and I'm  wondering  if the  bond is secure  for a very  long  time  

Cheers snowy 

Welcome  mate

What I did was buy about  4 books  first  one called  Frank mastini  modelling  for  beginners  then got a beginners  kit  from  modellers  central   called  the adventure  by amati  with a tools  kit in the  price  + 5 dvds this helped me heaps  

Good luck  cheers snowy 

Here was was my 1st  ship build she took me about 13 months  and I put a thread  around  the  sails and hand sewed the lot as you will see enjoy 

Cheers snowy 

Hey mate g'day 

I built the adventure  about  2 years ago and yes I did nails and wood glue  enjoy  your  build   cheers snowy
