Pete38 Posted April 16, 2013 Share #63 Posted April 16, 2013 David, having seen your post in the Full Profile Photograph of your Sultana, just had to post how amazed I am at your build. You make this look so easy and the clean lines and the perfection of your build is just amazing..... Just almost makes me want to drop the cross section and pull my Sultana of the shelf so that they may have something of a lower grade to compare yours to.

dgbot Posted April 20, 2013 Share #66 Posted April 20, 2013 Your Sultana is shaping up nicely. A word of advice, make it so that you can repalce your bowspriit. I have found over the years that accidents will happen all the time. This way you can take care of any mishaps down the road. Speaking from several bad experiences.

russ Posted April 20, 2013 Share #67 Posted April 20, 2013 That looks very sturdy. I hope that rubber band does not do any damage to the hull though.

yvesvidal Posted May 1, 2013 Share #68 Posted May 1, 2013 Excellent work. I love the presentation, flow of pictures and text. I just ordered the kit and it is nice to see such a Build Log.

crjmjh Posted July 19, 2013 Share #71 Posted July 19, 2013 It's been many years scence I have built. Just ordered this kit. Excelent work you have done, your log will be very helpful as I take on this challange. Where would I be able to see or get Chucks practicum at ?

russ Posted July 19, 2013 Share #72 Posted July 19, 2013 You can download it from Model Expo's website. Go to their website and choose Model Shipways kits in the lefthand side of the screen. Now choose solid hull kits. Next choose the Sultana. Click on documents when you get to the Sultana kit. The practicum is in several parts, but you can download each part to your hard drive and then print it out as needed.
