Robert S. Posted March 30, 2020 #1 Posted March 30, 2020 Hello, brand new to ship building. Bought ship model: Dominica - English Schooner - 1811 art. 1443. Been told this model has been discontinued, maybe thats why i'm having this issue. Anyways, what came in box is Building Instructions fig. 1 - 83, and list of parts. But there is NO diagram of which part is which & which goes where. Can anyone offer any suggestions in how to obtain diagram of parts and better directions for this beautiful model ship ??? Thank You, Robert S. EricWilliamMarshall and JeffT 2

EricWilliamMarshall Posted March 31, 2020 #6 Posted March 31, 2020 (edited) Welcome!! If Chris' suggestion doesn't pan out, post your question with the text in question and some photos! There is a fair bit of commonality in the construction of these models and there are actual experts here in MSW. What part of the model are you work on now?

Borden Posted April 1, 2020 #7 Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) Welcome to the group 🙂 The ship that is my new project is missing the English instructions and the box is beat up. Has pictures and french instructions so can get help with translation. Lucky they print size; measurements and have drawings even if i can not read the words. Is this your first ship? if so hope you find a copy of the instructions with the help of the customer service. Edited April 1, 2020 by Borden typo mtaylor 1
