sometimes those close up shots make things look worse than they really are, don't worry about it . are there any other chainplates available that you could use on your Victory? I'm surprised Jotika wouldn't have had some decent chainplates included with the kit. Maybe some of the other Victory guys can give you some advice. i'm sure you'll find a solution. Your build is looking good , so just hang in there with the chainplates. frank

Too bad about the chainplates Derek............. I know it's frustrating to tear them out and do it allover again, but you'll be happier in the long run....... the Victory is lookin good regardless... .. I see what you mean about the paint on the close up. what kind of paint did you use ? Frank

Hi Ron...thanks for your comments..... If it's where I think your talking about, just under the bowsprit, I've used a total of 8, 5mm deadeyes., 2 set of 2 on each side.they tie to the bowsprit and tie off to eyebolts on the bow of the ship. I hope that helps . Frank

Whatever name you use Sherry, I know you'er going to do a first class build. There is nothing like a woman's perseverance if your first build is any indication of what lays ahead, this is going to be one awesome build !! Frank

Hi Larry, looks like you've got everything under control, framing looks good , ready for planking. One step that helped me in planking was to bevel the planks , it gave them a real nice snug fit against one another, and another bonus by doing that is you will hardly use any filler.!! and, if you really take your time with it you may not have to do a second planking, of course you may want to do a second planking ,thats your choice , either way have fun with it, your build looks great !! Frank

Hi Josh, just now ck'n out your build. Looks to be a very interesting kit from MS, I really like the construction of it, it has real nice lines. also the deck framing seems to be pretty extensive You seem to be handling this extremly well for a first time build, your work looks very good . Just have fun with your build, and good look to you on your degree!! Frank
