jdbradford Posted August 4, 2014 Share #152 Posted August 4, 2014 Wow, when I found this build I thought "I have hit gold here" I can watch a master at work on the project I am working on. I read some of the posts and saw where the mast was 5' tall, wait, that's not right, mine is nothing like that. I went and found my box, Whew! mine is the 1:80 kit, so the wife may not shoot me after all. I can't wait to read through the rest of the posts and glean as much knowledge and tips as I can. I will also start my build log too. Yours is an excellent project Richard.

fnkershner Posted August 4, 2014 Share #153 Posted August 4, 2014 Jeff - Richard & I are building the 1:35 version which has the 5 ft mast. And Dave is building the 1:80 version. You might want to look at all the build logs. And about the part of your wife shooting you. Well Mine still has no idea what she is getting in our front room. I may need a bed somewhere.

Nirvana Posted August 4, 2014 Share #154 Posted August 4, 2014 Floyd, there is a bedroom available over here. Regarding the storage, we will figure that one out during the time.

Nirvana Posted August 4, 2014 Share #155 Posted August 4, 2014 Richard, your J-class comes nicely together. They are sure nice and true yachts. I have to many waiting in the shipyard but hopefully I will have a mid-1970 model of the Sverige yacht waiting as well. Have to track down the plans.

The Sailor Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share #156 Posted August 4, 2014 Hi guys Thanks for your big interest and the nice comments. I promise I'll go on with my Endeavour, but this will take some time. In fact I'm not in the mood for modelling at the moment... So please be patient with me. pete48 and egkb 2 Quote Cheers, Richard. ------------------------------Current build: Mercury, Russian brig, America's Cup Yacht Endeavour (1934), AmatiCompleted build: HM Schooner Pickle, JoTiKaNext: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digge77 Posted November 11, 2014 Share #163 Posted November 11, 2014 Thanks for the welcome! I was looking for information about this model, but in Italy I think they are a few to get it or are just talking about it. This forum is great! Thanks so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
