    I am completing my build out of the Jotika model-HM Brig Badger, and am looking for information on where I might purchase a British Navy Battle Ensign for it. Also any thoughts on where I might get a reasonably priced base for it. Thanks. Andy

    Are there any small tools out there that can help in threading small deadeyes? I have been waxing the thread and patiently trying to thread the holes in the deadeyes, but i am wondering if there is a tool that might help in this tasdk.

    I have been working on building the HM Brig Badger by Caldercraft for sometime now and was looking back at the helpful a number of you made last year prior to my purchase of the kit. One comment was to delay putting in the cannons until "later." I would greatly appreciate any specific thoughts folks have on when "later" should be. Thanks much

    Dear Acaron 41120 Thank you very much for that idea. I think it might be very helpful as I proceed. While I don't have syringes, I do have several plastic squeeze bottles with small tip openings that might also work. Andy

    Can anyone tell me what is the ratio of water to PVA for a "watered down PVA" solution to be used in Planking? Thanks?

    Dear Shane- I have just started working on building the HM Badger, and i was hoping that you can help me with a questions. Am I correct that the Gunport Pattern Former gets removed after the the Gunport Patterns are fitted to the bulkheads? While this may be obvious --from your and other the pictures of the build out as well as the placing of the Upper Gundeck -- I didn't see removing the Former in the instructions. Any information you can provide me on this would be most appreciated. Thanks much. Andy

    I am starting to build the Caldercraft HM Brig Badger, and would appreciate any suggestions on how to follow the instructions to taper the keel from 5 mm at the fore end of the bearding line to 3 mm at the stern, taking off equal amounts of material from both sides. How precise does this have to be at the stern and going forward to the fore end of the bearding line?

    I am considering purchasing this kit and wanted to know whether those who have built this model would recommend it-- or other models by this vendor. Thanks for any comments on this model.

    I have been working on the Blue Jacket Revenue Cutter and earlier comments from folks have been very helpful. I am now up to the rigging work. Does anyone have pictures of a completed model with all the rigging work done? Thanks much.

    Thanks to everyone who responded earlier to my query. Your posts were very helpful in getting me to where I am at present on my building the Blue Jacket Revenue Cutter. I am now up to putting in the masts and the rigging. Does anyone have large, detailed pictures, showing the standing and running rigging?
