Seems ok to me Posted October 29, 2020 Share #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. GrandpaPhil, Justin P., ccoyle and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccoyle Posted October 29, 2020 Share #2 Posted October 29, 2020 I'm a big fan of MK's pre-spiled planking. I think you'll enjoy this kit.

Seems ok to me Posted October 30, 2020 Author Share #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.

HardeeHarHar Posted November 2, 2020 Share #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 7, 2020 Author Share #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. HardeeHarHar, J11, GrandpaPhil and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin P. Posted November 18, 2020 Share #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 Share #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.

HardeeHarHar Posted November 24, 2020 Share #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......
