Kelp Posted May 7, 2022 Share #37 Posted May 7, 2022 Your model is looking great! Nice job on the coppering. It’s worth the time and effort. Can you tell me how many sheets of plans came with the kit? I’m thinking of purchasing a used kit and would like to have an idea of the number of drawings that should be included. Thanks, and keep on with your nice work! Don Mr Whippy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, and keep on with your nice work! Don Hi Don, The plans are printed on both sides of a sheet so you get four sheets with eight plans if that makes sense. You also get the instruction book and I downloaded the full instructions in English too, although be aware they refer to the kit with all brass moldings and don’t show the new etched ply version which is the one I’m building.

Daveruss Posted May 21, 2022 Author Share #39 Posted May 21, 2022 Have done one side with the netting and it’s a real pain in the **** to get right, probably the worse job yet. GrandpaPhil and Mr Whippy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esap Posted January 23, 2023 Share #41 Posted January 23, 2023 Glad to see work continues Daveruss! How are you finding this kit compared to your prior caldercraft kits? Mr Whippy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveruss Posted January 23, 2023 Author Share #42 Posted January 23, 2023 (edited) Instructions are not as good and lots of things are left to the modeler. Some annoying things like the rigging thread not having any sizes on the spools but otherwise not too shabby a kit. Another thing is this kit is of course considerably cheaper than the Caldercraft one. Definitely need some experience with building model boats to get this done.

Daveruss Posted January 30, 2023 Author Share #43 Posted January 30, 2023 Making headway with the masts just the fore mast and bow sprit to go. People have different ways to do the masts. I prefer to build as much as possible before putting them in place on the ship. The plans hint at putting the masts in first the rigging and then the cross trees, not my preferred way to do it, we’ll see what’s best in the end.

Daveruss Posted February 19, 2023 Author Share #45 Posted February 19, 2023 Fore, main and mizzen masts are done now I’m rigging as much as I can before heading back to the hull to finish some small bits it will then be ready for the masts.

Daveruss Posted November 27, 2023 Author Share #46 Posted November 27, 2023 Progress update - mast and tops are finished and ready to be mounted into the hull. Just finishing off the hull, water buckets, rings and dead eyes being added first. Mr Whippy, CraigVT and scrubbyj427 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
