Seems ok to me Posted October 29, 2020 #1 Posted October 29, 2020 Jumping right into an unusual one. I saw a previous build and scooped this kit up immediately. I need a break from rigging as well. HardeeHarHar, BenD, ccoyle and 4 others 7
ccoyle Posted October 29, 2020 #2 Posted October 29, 2020 I'm a big fan of MK's pre-spiled planking. I think you'll enjoy this kit. Ryland Craze, Justin P. and Seems ok to me 2 1 Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk. - Tuco Current builds: Brigantine Phoenix
Seems ok to me Posted October 30, 2020 Author #3 Posted October 30, 2020 Going together soooo nicely. For someone coming from a primarily plastic kit background, it is like a Tamiya kit in wood thus far. J11, GrandpaPhil, HardeeHarHar and 3 others 6
Seems ok to me Posted October 30, 2020 Author #4 Posted October 30, 2020 I have made...a barrel. WalrusGuy, Clark Griswold, Boxbuilds and 4 others 7

HardeeHarHar Posted October 30, 2020 #6 Posted October 30, 2020 I think this looks like fun too.

HardeeHarHar Posted November 2, 2020 #7 Posted November 2, 2020 I wonder if you could make it hold a good port, like a decanter.

Seems ok to me Posted November 5, 2020 Author #9 Posted November 5, 2020 I am at a loss here. Instructions say to bevel along engraved lines...and those are where? Justin P., GrandpaPhil and Clark Griswold 3
Seems ok to me Posted November 5, 2020 Author #10 Posted November 5, 2020 Otherwise, the first planks go on nicely around the windows. GrandpaPhil, J11 and Clark Griswold 3

Seems ok to me Posted November 7, 2020 Author #12 Posted November 7, 2020 A few minor gaps. I’m going to try the poly/sawdust filler trick I just read about after sanding. GrandpaPhil, HardeeHarHar, Clark Griswold and 1 other 4
Seems ok to me Posted November 8, 2020 Author #13 Posted November 8, 2020 Almost done. I’m thinking of putting a tiny LED in the “cabin” so have left the top a little open. GrandpaPhil, J11, Rik Thistle and 2 others 5
Seems ok to me Posted November 18, 2020 Author #14 Posted November 18, 2020 Coming along slowly, haven’t had much time to work on it. Justin P., Clark Griswold, WalrusGuy and 3 others 6
Justin P. Posted November 18, 2020 #15 Posted November 18, 2020 Very cool to see another one of these here! This is a great little kit and produces a wonderful little model. The materials are pretty good too.

Seems ok to me Posted November 20, 2020 Author #16 Posted November 20, 2020 I agree. Got me some rivets done this evening. The only problem I had is that the rivet heads (aka nails) are too big for the pre-existing holes and all had to be re-drilled. Oh well. That’s what audiobooks are for I guess.

Seems ok to me Posted November 20, 2020 Author #18 Posted November 20, 2020 The paper bands are very easy to work with. The “fiery pipes” and their clamps, not so much. Ryland Craze, WalrusGuy, Jeff5115 and 1 other 4
Seems ok to me Posted November 20, 2020 Author #19 Posted November 20, 2020 Altogether, this was a great kit that I thoroughly enjoyed. JpR62, WalrusGuy, Justin P. and 8 others 11
HardeeHarHar Posted November 24, 2020 #20 Posted November 24, 2020 You made that look too easy, and the result is b e a u t i f u l! Thanks for the inspiration. I will be following your lead soon I hope, and likely will build two at one time, to see if I can actually research and figure out how to make one a decanter for holding a good port wine......
