  1. Good point about the size, it would probably be too big. Cheers, Nigel
  2. I have the opportunity to buy an unstarted Model Space (DeAgostini) Victory kit at a good price. If I did get it, it would be put aside to give me time to get some simpler models under my belt. But before I commit I have been trying to find out whether it is a good kit. I appreciate that it has comprehensive instructions with lots of videos available and that it would have been very expensive if bought part by part at full price. But that aside is it a good kit, quality and accuracy wise. Thanks for any advice, Nigel
  3. Hi, Thanks very much for the advice. I did check all the parts when I received the kit. But your words have made me go and double-check, but I can confirm that the sheet of 4mm walnut in my kit matches the diagram in the instruction manual. I have spoken to JoTika and have emailed photos including an additional photo that they wanted me to take alongside a ruler. I await to see what they say. Cheers, Nigel
  4. Hi Gregor, Hope you don't mind me posting a question here but as you have first hand knowledge of the Sherbourne I am very confident that you could lend some advice. I am a complete beginner with wooden ship models - I have experience with plastic, engineering and radio control aircraft so plenty of general modelling experience. I decided to start with the Caldercraft Sherbourne cutter but I am stuck, perhaps I am over thinking it but I'd appreciate some advice. I have broken out the false keel and formers and laid out the hardwood keel and rudder post and noticed some discrepancies. I have tried to capture them in the photos below. In this first picture you can see that if I lay the hardwood keel and rudder post against the false keel they are too short. Note the gap where the two keel parts should join. Is there something wrong - if so what would be the best way to resolve it - I intend to paint the hull white? In the this picture it looks like the rudder post is too low - see the red line that follows the line of the deck. Is it incorrect? If so should I trim it before assembly or wait until the build progresses. Thanks for your help, Cheers, Nigel
