Then you would be ....... in trouble If you haven't read up on your planking. It might be a good idea not to tally any longer ... if you do not know the knowledge db then that is a good place to start. The link will take you straight to the docs for framing and planking. It's nice to be prepared ... Until you've reached the point of no return, you can always change your mind about the colour ... usually you are far beyond it when you find out what colour you want - just pullin' yer leg

Greg, When I look at the pictures from the Fletcher, and I look at your primed hull, I see a difference in the way the hull plating has been lined up in the vertical. On your model it is stepped, on the real life ship the plates sides are a single line from bottom to top, but for a few at the bow ... will you change that or stick to the hull plating layout from the kit

I like the wear and tear of the threshold, it suits the build. However, we should have a word about those orange clamps ...

With regards to druxey's remark, how did you mask those funnels, for those look excellent.

You'd better keep your wits about you when you use your mat/mate ... oh which ever ... I'll leave you to your build. Oh, one advice: Measure twice before you cut to length ...

If you manage to astonish us as with your previous build, I will enjoy this one very much ... good to see you at the shipyard

Vossie, she doesn't, and hence doesn't need those, she has a cutting mate whom will cut or chop off his fingers, wish those were sold here ...

bluetack and tooth picks ... you still need the foam though.. Tape on a small plank, sticky side up, even bluetack on plank/lat works like a charm. With railings I'd go for the blue tack on a lat.

Sam, does her better half have anything to say ...? Jo, Now how come I haven't thought about it meself! I can even take it with me to work Excuse my ignorance, but what is a car bog ... if it's heavy you better don't send it, US Postal charges are rather steep, and I won't pay for the import duties and taxes, you could wire the money though ... Sam did make a good proposition considering the plans, yes he does from time to time ( ). You do not need to pin/stick them to the wall all four, just the one you need for what you are working on would suffice. Usually you've got two with side/front/rear, and top view, one for the rigging, and one for the sails. In my older kits I had only two, one for the hull, rigging, and sails, besides one to cut the sails, a template you could say

You could use your table top ... do you have plans !!!

HEllo Jo, Did you make yourself acquainted with the contents? Checked the items against the list, which should be included in the kit, it gives you the feeling of what you'll be working with. It's the first thing you should do, for you can act on missing parts. After that when you read the building instructions, you will recognise parts from the list and can probably visualise them as well - unless you have a memory like mine - so when you start your build it will not be so daunting. At least that's the way I work. You could use the parts beside the building instructions to familliarise yourself with them as well. So far you have received good counsil, and as has been put so eloquently: Ther are no dumb questions ... Enjoy your build (Sam have you taken your pills?) Darn, I forgot. Do not buy your tools to quickly, start with the basic ones, and add to them whilst you proceed. Often you can use a very cheap alternative ... have a look at the tools and jigs section here at MSW.
