Johngr Posted Monday at 06:53 PM Share #1 Posted Monday at 06:53 PM After a long period of intensive work I am back. And in parallel with HMS HOOD I decided to start a relatively small project from Vanguard Models the 22ft Yawl ship boat. The quality of the kit is excellent and so are the instructions, In fact comparing them to a similar kit from ModelExpo that I have is like night and day. And at the start I managed to break one of the bulkhead. Special care must be taken because MDF is relatively fragile and delicate. However, I managed to fix it by putting the small pieces together.!! Then all the temporary bulkheads were placed on the jig, glued and waiting for the glue to dry.

AJohnson Posted Monday at 08:49 PM Share #2 Posted Monday at 08:49 PM I'll be really interested in following your progress as I'm currently building the VM 18ft Cutter and I am about the same stage as you. Mine will be part of the Sparkler build log though.

aliluke Posted yesterday at 03:29 AM Share #3 Posted yesterday at 03:29 AM I'll keep an eye on this too! I did two of these kits - you can see them in my HMS Fly log - and they are very good as is VM's support. Fiddly but perfectly doable with care. They are very fragile at certain stages of the build.
