pshrynk Posted December 7, 2017 Share #1 Posted December 7, 2017 Maybe I wasn't missed that much, but I'm back after a couple months absence. My company got freaked out about the ransom ware scare last spring and cut off all internet acess not business related for all summer and fall. They just instituted a new protocol for access and we can once again get back on line. So here I am. Of course, it's my turn tonight to go out and purchase the goat tonight and don't ask what they want us to do with the hamsters... Not much done with the Victory model, as summer is my season to do outside stuff and I just now got back to the fun things indoors. Starting to put the cladding on the hull now. One question... Is it just Momoli, or are all model instructions written as if they were German translated directly from? mtaylor and geoff 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amateur Posted December 7, 2017 Share #2 Posted December 7, 2017 The instruction I had with my (Corel) Prins Willem, was done by someone who looked up word-by-word in a dictionary, and had no understanding of ships nor modelbuilding.

pshrynk Posted December 7, 2017 Author Share #3 Posted December 7, 2017 Yeah, I was trying to figure out what they were talking about with one set of instructions and finally decided that what they were trying to say was that I was supposed to slice the planking lengthwise to fit in the gaps left by the placement of the full sized planks on either side. Doesn't help that the materials lists are all in Italian. geoff and mtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spars Posted December 7, 2017 Share #4 Posted December 7, 2017 Welcome back. I, too, spend warmer weather outdoors. Living in Minnesota, the first snow, which just happened, is my call to build. I'm doing the Victory cross section by D'QAgostini8. Its well laid out. mtaylor and geoff 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.Coleman Posted December 12, 2017 Share #5 Posted December 12, 2017 They do have hard to understand written instructions sometimes. I use Google Translator for the list parts and that gives me a bit of an idea. mtaylor and geoff 2 Quote Regards, Scott Current build: 1:75 Friesland, Mamoli Completed builds: 1:64 Rattlesnake, Mamoli - 1:64 HMS Bounty, Mamoli - 1:54 Adventure, Amati - 1:80 King of the Mississippi, AL 1:64 Blue Shadow, Mamoli - 1:64 Leida Dutch pleasure boat, Corel - 1:60 HMS President Mantra, Sergal Awaiting construction: 1:89 Hermione La Fayette AL - 1:48 Perserverance, Modelers shipyard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
