While I was frustrated that I lost the figurehead of the Papegojan, I tried another kit to recover my mind.

 

I have no complaint about this kit is perfect start for beginners. 

 

Unfortunately, I found some minor errors, such as wrong laser cut or inappropriate plan size on the manuals, so I'll leave only a few short pics to help other builders.  

 

 

The plans in the instructions are downsized. I scanned it and enlarged it to 102.9%.

 

I guess that the prototype sample by the professor is different from the mass production version.

 

It is a simple tip to make my life better.  

 

This is a critical error. The guiding line on one side of the planks goes inside because both plank sheets are identical. I would say that the kit manufacturer forgot to reverse the opposite sheet.

 

The risers goes here.

 

 

The Lowell Grand Banks Dory is done!
