HIPEXEC Posted November 9, 2019 Author #1051 Posted November 9, 2019 (edited) Does anybody know if another model kit builder offers a kit for Joshua Slocum's "Spray" except for Bluejacket and the Banned Chinese knock-offs? I'm planning ahead for a ship that doesn't have elaborate rigging since my dexterity is shot. I once saw a kit the allowed you to lift the cabin enclosures to see the living arrangements Slocum had. BTW i'm starting the yards and spars.

HIPEXEC Posted January 11, 2020 Author #1070 Posted January 11, 2020 I've used up most of the rigging blocks I had left over from other kits. This kit came with terrible blocks that were unusable in my opinion. I ordered more rigging blocks from Ages-of-Sail that should arrive in a day or two. So much for this kit!
