captgino Posted August 19, 2017 #1 Posted August 19, 2017 Hi everyone. I have decided to start working on this kit to break away from the monotony of working on the same kit from several months. I always thought it would never do that but... I just need a break. First hurdle, I got the old kit version on eBay and the directions are only in Italian. I sent an email to Corel l and they very kindly send me the direction in English. However, this is for the second revision of the kit and I unfortunately have the first one. Bummer... Anyone have this kit and the directions on English?

captgino Posted August 20, 2017 Author #2 Posted August 20, 2017 (edited) English direction or not I am starting. I used an app where you can take a picture of a text. You can extract the text from the picture. After that it was just a matter of using Google translate., there is a few mistakes , but overall it is okay to understand.

captgino Posted August 20, 2017 Author #5 Posted August 20, 2017 It is definitely an interesting kit. The overall quality of the wood is decent. Some of the strips are warped but I can work around that. I am thinking about maybe upgrading the plank on the deck with some boxwood.

captgino Posted August 20, 2017 Author #7 Posted August 20, 2017 (edited) Last night progress. This is just some strips of wood that I wanted to put there to see how would look like. But this is not the right size. I'm going to have to trim the wood on the side a bit. I noticed that is quite a discrepancy between the plans and the actual Construction. In one section, the directions /plans called for 10 strips but you really need 7. I think this is something I'm going to have to look out for for the entire build.

captgino Posted August 23, 2017 Author #8 Posted August 23, 2017 Small update. I have decided to add some additional details to the build but not as much as some of the other master pieces on this site. It would be a more humble approach. I have for goal to built the Triton cross section later so I am using this built as a platform to test new techniques and concepts. So far the deck beams have not been glued.
