popeye26 Posted July 5, 2014 Share #1 Posted July 5, 2014 Hello all, This is my second AL kit, and my first post in a ship builders forum. Progressing slowly, probably no more than an hour per week and sometimes much less, mainly enjoying the build process. Some pics of the progress are here: https://plus.google.com/photos/110787951766792468149/albums/6032635228534265041?authkey=CM7y0cjvwYXxag A small request to the members - I have misplaced the AL instructions booklet (would have liked to blame the kids but it was probably me), can anyone post scans of the instructions, I have also sent a request to AL and waiting to see if it's possible to acquire it separately. Smooth sailing to all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

popeye26 Posted July 6, 2014 Author Share #3 Posted July 6, 2014 Bending the planks: The technique is quick and simple now that I have done it many times but the AL wood is not great and breaks from time to time: Thus requiring something to go along that: VonHoldinghausen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
