  1. I've got one . I also saw that some Shipyard kit are available in pdf files. I downloaded such a file myself for HMS CLEOPTRA.
  2. Thank you for the kind words. I have been thinking about buying this model for a long time. This set is not the cheapest, but I do not regret the money spent. It's a really great set and gives you a lot of opportunities to make a good model. The only thing I would improve is the instruction manual. In particular, there is no description of the location of individual elements on the boards with parts. A table with columns with consecutive part numbers and the corresponding board number would be useful. You have to be careful because the same-looking parts with the same number, and differing only in the letter will be found on different boards. The thickness of these pages varies and gluing parts from one card may result in a mismatch. Better instruction would definitely be useful. Greetings Piotr
  3. Making a capstan on a quarter deck. The base is made of walnut wood. Capstan construction made of paper. After gluing, I dipped the paper in epoxy glue. After this treatment, the thick paper stops delaminating and can be sanded.
  4. Step by step, the work is moving forward. It's just a fitting, because first I have to make gun carriages on the upper deck.
  5. One more time. I have started work on the bowsprit. I use the book "Anatomy of the ship - Pandora". Below I am presenting the drawings from the book and photos from the work started. rolled the bowsprit on a lathe and I come to the conclusion that the linden wood is too soft for the construction of masts and ropes.
