I suspect you will have finished your next build (Indefatigable?) before I get round to starting Sphinx! Derek Thanks Derek. I learnt a lot from your build logs. I think Indy will be a very long 2+year build project. mtaylor 1 Quote Glenn (UK)

Robster Posted May 26, 2023 #474 Posted May 26, 2023 Hi Glenn i managed to pick up a Sphinx from E bay. I couldn’t resist it at the price. Could I ask what the difference is between V1 and V2? kind regards Robert Quote
Glenn-UK Posted May 26, 2023 Author #475 Posted May 26, 2023 I was not very happy with the how the stern/quarter galleries (v1) were looking. This was due to a build error on my part and I could not see a way to correct. Therefore I decided to buy a 2nd kit and start again (v2) and I was pleased with the end result. mtaylor 1 Quote Glenn (UK)
Robster Posted June 1, 2023 #476 Posted June 1, 2023 So V2 is the same kit. Wow. That’s dedication to our art. I’m on with the Russian Brig mercury designed by Chris. I’m enjoying it so far but I couldn’t get on with the gun port patterns. mtaylor and Glenn-UK 2 Quote
Erdict Posted April 18 #477 Posted April 18 What a great looking ship Glen. That’s something to show for generations. Definitely taking some tips from your log.
