Papa got a reaction from reklein in SMS Helgoland by Papa - Modelik - 1:200 - CARD
I finished the skeleton, except for the decks. The instructions say that the deck pieces are to be glued to 1 mm card but the schematics don not indicate this. (a "**" is attached to the part number if it is to be glued to a card; the deck pieces don't have this indication.) I decided to follow the written instructions and have glued them to a card. Hope it works out OK.

Thanks. Generally google translate is doing ok. I just have to take the build slowly and double check everything

If you do not happen to like Ferrero Rocher chocolates you can send them to me after unwrapping.

I will scan the "directions" today. I have figured out that the tiny white spots are for rigging.

Danny, Thanks for the advice. The plans aren't very detailed, but, the more I stare at them the more I see.

The instructs say to pre-drill the mast holes. It is not clear to me on the deck plan where the mast holes are.

Papa got a reaction from marktiedens in "Height Adjustable Workbench" sorta.
They say necessity is the mother of invention. I realized the other day that the drawers in my work bench make shelves of different heights just right for rigging the ratlines on my Granado.

OK, I studied the directions some more. A "W" indicates "cut". The W in the attached picture is about where one of the masts should be. I am wondering about the other tiny white disks. Are they to be drilled out for davits or rails?

I think I am finally understanding how the hull is supposed to go together.

Super job on the ratlines. I can't even come close to that level of perfection.
