Bo Button Posted June 16, 2021 #1 Posted June 16, 2021 does anybody know you can get spare parts for the Spirit of Mississippi, I did the first 2 boards turned around and my puppy had eaten it, so I now have no hull to the ship, can I buy a new hull somewhere, hope somebody can help thibaultron 1 Quote
Gregory Posted June 16, 2021 #2 Posted June 16, 2021 Is that the Occre kit? Someone having just the hull parts to spare is unlikely. Your best shot would be finding a kit someone wants to sell. mtaylor and thibaultron 2 Quote “Indecision may or may not be my problem.” ― Jimmy Buffett Current builds: Rattlesnake On Hold: HMS Resolution ( AKA Ferrett ) In the Gallery: Yacht Mary, Gretel, French Cannon
Jaager Posted June 16, 2021 #3 Posted June 16, 2021 If the plans are adequate, the kit parts can be replicated from stock wood. An early introduction into freedom of scratch building. There may be other parts that can be replaced with scratch built and by starting with better quality wood, have a better looking result.

Bo Button Posted June 18, 2021 Author #4 Posted June 18, 2021 I have managed to put the hull together, but it is slightly out at each end just not straight by 2mm, will this effect the next deck, or can I get away with it, many thanks for your help 498DE1C3-11FA-4F0F-BAE3-DDAEA42CE1CA.heic 498DE1C3-11FA-4F0F-BAE3-DDAEA42CE1CA.heic Quote
mtaylor Posted June 18, 2021 #5 Posted June 18, 2021 Bo, Can you post pictures as .jpg instead of .hec? Hec is little used other than on certain phones.
