Allamagoosa Posted June 16, 2020 #1 Posted June 16, 2020 I was wondering if anyone had a digital copy of the directions for the Mantua Model 780 Viking Ship? I build this ship about 20 years ago and I need to re-rig it as it is damaged but the directions are long gone. I also need to repair the stern section (tail). Apologies if this isn't the best place to ask. I searched around but didn't see a better area.

They were out of stock for th plans and wanted 15 pounds to get a hard copy which I didn't want to buy. I can likely just fix it from other pictures as it is a fairly easy kit and I just and to repair the rigging but I though I would ask if anyone had a copy.

Likely I can just figure out what to do from pictures I see on the cover of the box. The rigging isn't too hard and is about a simple as it gets. -D mtaylor 1 Current Build: San Francisco (original) - Artesania Latina Completed: Longboat 18th Century (MS1457) - Model Shipways Bluenose II - Billings Member of the Nautical Research Guild
mtaylor Posted June 16, 2020 #6 Posted June 16, 2020 Ok. Use the resources here on MSW. Do as search (or more) for the model in the kit area. There's a search icon upper right side of any page. Meantime, I hope someone can help.
