Hello Capt. Mac... I've started the Chaperon but I'm a little behind you. I've started and almost completed the thin, side planks and getting ready for the wider, bottom planks. I'll try to attach a current picture but don't want to steal your thunder. I'll be closely watching your posts hoping to get any advance data and things to watch for. Good luck with your build. It's looking good so far. ChuckCHS IMG_2293.HEIC

Thanks Jacques... Build logs are not my best work. For me, they take much time which at this point shortens modeling time. I really appreciate the builders who take the time and effort to do them. They provide much needed assistance to beginners like me. And the pictures are outstanding! But as you suggest, maybe I see if I can start one. Thanks again Chuck

Anyone... As I start this kit I notice on Frame (Bulkhead) A, there is a slight vertical laser cut line. It can bee seen in the very first post and some other posts further along in the log. I am wondering if there is reason for this line? I went through the instructions and can find no reference to it. Maybe I'm missing what the point of the line is. Can anyone enlighten me. Thanks Chuck

Eric.....Well, what a surprise! The CD is in a language I don't understand. I guess I'm flying in the dark without lights. LOL... I'll be following your build very closely. The Conny experience will help along with your log and the CD pictures will hopefully get me thru. Maybe a while before I start as other projects are on going. ChuckCHS

But your build is looking great. I especially like the colors on the lower 2 decks. Yes.... I learned very quickly to populate deck by deck! It was hard to continue building the model and stoping to work on the little details. But it pays off in the end. ChuckCHS 👍

Eric Great work on your SF cross section. Hope I can do as well. Just received this kit from Amozan. It has an CD included in the package. Is the CD the instructions? ChuckCHS

Eric...I'm doing a cross section of the Connie. But I'm afraid my skill level is not a precise as yours. Your build looks exceptional compared to mine. I'm wondering, what is the source for this kit? I think I'd like to add to my stash. Chuck

Started another post on this topic many moons ago but I believe it's lost in space now. I've been working on this off and on for over a year and progressing to a point where rigging looms in the near future. So I purchased the NRG's rigging kit but I try to post on that topic later. I know the cross section is not a show piece but as someone stated in another post, every day is a learning experience. For me, it's not about creating a show piece at this stage in life. It's about just building and having fun. Learning to do it better is my second priority. Hope you enjoy the picture. (first posting after learning to post pictures). My plan going forward is to finish this build and the rigging kit and building the MSW Conny. Regards Chuck IMG_2152.HEIC
