HM Cutter Lady Nelson by Bertilon - Amati/Victory Models - 1/64 - first build

[Bertilon]

Finally made a start, after getting the work area cosy.

Good to read through the instructions, as recommended, as found a few errors in the bulkhead and other pieces indentification. Also found the bulkheads were a little loose in the keel piece.

One of the many videos I've watched suggested Lego blocks for a perfect right angle. And they have worked a treat. 

False deck just gone on. Again, from watching many videos I wont be putting the stern and bow posts, or keel piece until first planking complete.

Im sure there are many mistakes already, but I'm quite happy, so far, for this first attempt.

Hi, @Bertilon! Since you have made a start on your model, I have split off a new topic for you in the build logs section. Enjoy your project!

Welcome aboard! I’m working on Lady Nelson right now, as well. I’ll pull up a chair.
