Hi all shipmates. Short story about laziness. It took a very long time before I finally decided to start a new model. I really enjoyed the time I spent on the previous build - HMS Triton cross section. After that tried to start something new for a while but unfortunately I failed because of my laziness Folowing the MSW site for many years, I had seen Armed Longboat -1834 by Ancre monograph model that I really liked. There are several really nice boat model builds on the site, that for me personally gave inspiration./tkay11 build is my favourite/ I bought a monograph from Acre store, but the book remained untouched on the shelf for some time afterwards. Again my laziness. Don't really know how, but I got rid of my sluggishness and decided to finally proceed to the start of the build. And I not even imagined that I could be so happy to return to drawings and saw dust. In first place as I like to make everything over complicated I decided go to different way how to create the mould. Not don’t know how i get that idea and definitely not sure is it will works. However, in the end, I have decided to take a risk and hope that everything will works. I have already moved a little forwards, but I had not took any pictures of process. Therefore my topic start with tiny delay. End of the, hopefully everything will work out and laziness will not return🙂 Few pictures for the start. That's all for a moment, to be continued.

Starting: Examine the parts, parts list, and read some of the build logs on for this model. Start Date: 2022-07-30 First build in 50 years. My first build was a Cutty Sark and I had no idea what I was getting into, and of course it died. So, starting over now that I am retired and have time to explore hobbies, with this as my first model ship build. The kit claims to be historically accurate. Is that something I should believe? Or do some companies "exaggerate" how accurate they are? I was going to use this model as a starting point to learn to research each step. Or what do others do? Do you research the entire ship before starting, or do research on each step as you go?
