Made some progress about a month ago.   it seems i made the rail to thin and the straps that hold the deadeyes are to far inboard to work...this has frustrated me and i have put this ship away for now.

Well, it's a sensitive thing to do, put it aside for the time being. Maybe you will find the inspiration to continue later on. No worries.

 

Cheers

Happy modelling!

I know about getting frustrated with a build, David, and I think that stepping away from a build at times is not such a bad thing.

 

I stepped away from my Pen Duick build for a long time because I got to frustrated with the poor instructions and didn't do any building for something like a year. I just followed others' builds here on the forum until I started to feel the urge to start building again. The Pen Duick is still going very slowly but I am determined to finish it. However, I found that I needed to build a ship that had good instructions and materials. So now I building the Flirt by Vanguard and I'm enjoying it very much while I continue to work slowly on the Pen Duick as well.  

 

I hope we'll see you back building something soon that you enjoy also.

Hi everyone !

 

Started building this beautiful model.  A friend of mine went to US abt 20 years ago and brought to Rio but never put it together so he gave me as a gift a few days ago.

Problem is that I could only find sheet 3 of 3.   The other two are missing.    Can anyone be kind to send me the drawings via email ? Alternatively where can I find in the web.

Duanelaker's explanation and pics are fantastic... will help a lot.    Much appreciated.

I desperately need those drawings.    Tnx a lot in advance.

Cheers fm Rio, Brazil.
