Hello All

I was given this kit by some friends who decided that I needed a change from putting ships in bottles and this was the challenge . Although I have done many plastic kits I have not attempted a wooden one and with a double Hull. Before I started I consulted the www for advice and guidance as to what is involved , found this website / forum , joined as a newbie and created this topic for tips and suggestions from the modelling experts and have made a start following the very brief instructions . 

I include pictures of the build so far

Hi I recently was given the red dragon chinese junk model as a present in that I had been putting ships in bottles for year or so . My friend thought I needed a change . 

So I have started it and have come across a couple of queries which the instructions and photos from EdwardZ  have not resolved . Hoping someone has recently completed the model 

My first issue is to find how best to merge and end  the planking to the bow and the stern . See Picture . I am uncertain as to to remove the pins or push them fully in when noting that the Hull is double planked with another layer of planks

hi my name is John.  I was given the model of the red dragon from friends  at Xmas to keep me out of harms way and as a different challenge to that I have been doing recently as I have put my 10 th ship in a bottle.  As I was going through the instructions I had more questions and it is great to here the experience of others
