Dfell Posted April 4 Share #1 Posted April 4 Hello - Just wanted to start this log by uploading the box cover and contents. The contents are nicely packed and in good order. As with Vanguard model kits there is a lovely illustrated instruction book along with 11 sheets of plans. Also ordered the upgraded sail set.

Dfell Posted April 8 Author Share #2 Posted April 8 Hello - initial stages started. All Bulkheads that require some bevelling have been done prior to assembly to Keel as per instructions. Only minor sanding of slots to ease assembly was needed to prevent any breakages. No glue used at this stage. Lower Deck added along with the Well / Hold. The Well / Hold was glued in place. Then the various pieces that make up the Stern fitted along with the two parts that run parallel almost the length of the frame. The Sub Deck was slotted in along with some additional pieces at the Stern which were glued in place. Then the all Bulkheads etc were glued. Next will be some more piece to add to the underneath of Stern section. Thank you for looking and the previous 'Likes' Regards Doug Mr Whippy, JacquesCousteau, DB789 and 2 others 5 Quote Completed: HM Brig Supply - JoKita / Caldercraft 1:64 HMS Fly - Caldercraft 1:64 HMS Sherborne - Caldercraft 1:64 HM Brig Flirt - Vanguard 1:64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dfell Posted April 11 Author Share #3 Posted April 11 Hello - a bit more progress. Additional Keel parts added along with the Bulwarks. Made the mistake of wetting the wood so as to bend it which resulted in some dark stains. Heat to bend probably been better. The maple veneer part was added with as much wrapping around as possible but had to do it as separate pieces. Onto the first planking - we will see how much of a mess I make of this......

Dfell Posted May 7 Author Share #5 Posted May 7 (edited) Hello - Further progress. First planking completed - not pretty but hopefully a good base for second planking, Second layer added to Keel and pegged. Also rear sections glued into place - this was a bit tricky especially getting the lower section to bend round. Managed at a later stage to break off the top part of the upper rear section - hence window pieces have come off before their were required. Also glued on the side parts. Next stage is the second planking. Thank you for looking.
