Not much time to work on it during the week unfortunately. Most of the updates will probably be on the weekends.

Hello, This is my first wooden ship model and my first build log, so wish me luck. I hope I will be able to finish it and move on to bigger and better things! For my first build I decided to go with Lady Nelson kit from Victory Models. I purchased the kit and it arrived few weeks ago from Cornwall Model Boats. It is a New edition kit with some extra PE parts and few other things. For the new guys - I purchased some of the tools from MicroMark, Age of Sail and Model Expo websites. Just google those places if you need anything. I had to wait a few weeks to gather all the tools I felt that I needed for this build, so finally today I was able to start the model! First order of business was to study the plans carefully and watch first part of Bob Hunt DVD about building Lady Nelson. I decided to buy the DVD since I had no previous experience building any wooden models and so far it proved to be helpful. So far it all seem to be pretty straight forward and here is a few pics of my progress. Bulkheads have been glued in place. The fitment has been very good with no problems at all. False deck has been attached. I put some rubber bands to help the glue to set in. Prow, keel, and rudder post have been glued into place and I used some plastic clamps to make sure it was attached correctly to the main keel part. I attached 2 sets of stern couter frames here and now I am ready to work on the bulkheads to prepare them for first planking. The bulkheads must be sanded and beveled to give maximum area of contact when attaching the planks. Thanks!

Sjors, I've looked at your builds of Le Mirage and San Ildefonso and they both look great! If I ever get to that level of building larger ships your log will definitely help me out! Good job! Alex
