Hello, I'm a newbie here. It looks like I've finally found the right forum. I bought the Constructo Enterprise kit in 2002 and was able, using the then current instructions, to build the hull. Life intervened, and the whole kit was put away (with the exception of some of the cannon parts, which were lost in a move) for almost 20 years. Now that I am retired, I took up populating the main deck as best I could. I thought I would share my progress so far in a picture, and then ask for some help. My chief problem now is that the instructions for building this beautiful vessel are so poor that, now that it is time to start rigging the vessel, I don't know how to proceed. Other Enterprise-er's have mentioned a 120 page instruction booklet. What came with my kit was three pages of instructions and two main plan sheets which did not include the sails. Does anyone know how to get one? Constructo does not have a site anymore. Are there other rigging books that can help me to build myself such things as the futtocks, how to wind shrouds, how to build the dolphin striker and other elements of the bowsprit, where to get the stovepipe (lost in the move). It's clear I won't be able to build a museum model, giving my tremor and vision problems, but I'd like to create at least a semblance of a late 1700's schooner before I put my ship up on the wall. Thanks for your time, everyone.
