  1. Hello David, Nice beginning. I will follow your log with pleasure. I am thinking of buying a Vanguard model one day. it s not your first one !
  2. Dear Gary, I fully agree with you that the shape of the stern is not satisfactory. The main reason may be insufficient sanding of frame 12 before planking. 😔
  3. It is a perfect adjustement. is it a flower the decoration ? Thank you for the explanations
  4. Hello, I just finished the planking below the deck. The main challenge was to bend the strake from stem to stern to avoid a mix of color, even though it wouldn't have been a problem because the hull will be black. next step will be to sand and clean (remove glue) the hull. There is not a second chance, just one planking ! stern stem
  5. Hello, You could use Quick Adhesive Wood Glue; it offers a quick grip in 2 minutes. My brand is SADER
  6. Richard, Your model is very well done. Everything is clean and meticulous. Are the draught marks raised or flush with the hull ? have a nice day
  7. Ronald, It's simply beautiful. Clearly a reference, and also a genuine wish to built a model created by Chris Watton.
  8. Thanks, Ronald. To be honest, your hull is a reference. Your tips are welcome. The challenge is great because there isn't a second layer. 😉 Have a nice WE
  9. Bonjour à tous, The planking of the hull is progressing day after day, timber by timber. The stern and stem are really difficult. I used all my clamps! I try to stay quiet and be patiente...😮‍💨
  10. Thank you Chris. Don't forget your French followers 😉. For me, it will always be 'La Tourterelle' (The Original), even though I really like the novels by Patrick O'Brian.
