Good evening everyone Day 40 correction of transom, main deck and lower deck support beams well i sorted the wrong bits out, and now everything is the same height (lol it may all be wrong, but the same wrong all over) the main deck support is now right, i fully removed it to enable removal of cant 57, this allowed me to redo the lower deck support the 1/4 deck still needs to be adjusted but its ideal for keeping the after frames lined up at present i am playing about with the 1/2 decks, but at the same time sorting the (limber boards) either side of the keel inside the hold

good evening everyone there are two things in life i dread to hear 1. i want a divorce 2 the back end of your Enterprise is wrong im sure there 100's of others lol im still married so that leaves number 2 basicly i screwed up on the last pair of cants, which i ignored, then tried to make it look right with the transom, and then it bit me when the deck supports went in, so i have been sorting it out the last few days, this all came to pass when i showed @cafmodel anyway, i will be putting the deck beams back in tomorrow and try to make some progress the camera angle does not help but the port side was 5mm out

welcome Jason This is for me the ultimate build, possibly the last big scale i will ever be able to afford do, so i am not going to worry so much about it, and just do it, intentions are for internal decks, masting and sails, in a 3 to 4 year time scale, its a great kit, and fun at the same time, as its all the elements i have dealt with in the past and now i get to understand how and why they are made like that

@cafmodel are excellent to deal with, from ordering and payment through Paypal its about 10 days to the UK, Shipping is pricey due to covid limited carriers at present they are using TNT/Fedex, I ordered part 1 including Jig 7.5KGS shipping was another $72 and about $50 for customs parts 2 and 3 are here as well now so about the same again, i believe next time i will bite the bullet get the lot to cut the cost down

Thank you @ASAT that makes sense, if i was to fully plank one side and a few planks above the keel on the other i guess i could refrain from using them

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
