    Hi Antony The plans are Amati and I orderd them from Cornwall Models last Tuesday and they came the following day. Great model shop. mij

    I purchase a set of Amati Xebec plans 1;60 scale last week, and I must say, these are a very nice set of plans. This model will be built around these plans with some alterations. I used Cherry for the Stem, Keel and Stern and Tulip for the Bulkheads. I wanted to use 5mm ply for the Bulkheads, but my local store only had 4mm ply in stock, as I had a load of 7mm Tulip, I milled it down to 5mm and used that.

    My workshop is my garage, and with the UK winter ( a lot warmer than some of you guys )I`m finding the wood glue is not setting( I do have some heating in there ), so I`m having some time out on HMS Sussex until the summer. I shall scratch build a P.O.B model half the size of HMS Sussex in the conservatory were it`s a lot warmer and the glue will set. mij

    Hi Klaus Thanks for your information. Yes there are floors in these plans, but I`ve had many plans that are not perfect. A modeller has to use his or hers skill and experience to overcome these drawbacks. On the plus side, it makes the project more of a challenge. mij

    Hi Nigel I use a Proxxon mill/drill-complete system (Ref:718225). I will be following your thread, as I know I can learn a lot from you. mij

    Hi Dan The bandsaw is an old 3 wheel INCA, with a blade length of 104", which is capable of cutting 4" oak, for the milling I use a Proxxon DH 40 Planer Ticknesser (Ref: 27040). The milling does take long time, but as you can see from the cherry, it was worth it. mij

    Hi Natan Lovely kit to build, I built the Albatros many years ago and sold it at Christies (London) for £600. Good luck with your build. mij
