Today arrived a future build in the Dockyard.
So I thought apt to give an unboxing and small review of my own personal opinion of the parts.
This was technically bought second hand but nothing has been used, so every piece of wood, brass, cast metal threaded etc are as New.
While the instructions are in different languages including English they aren't great only touching on the basics, so this kit is definitely not a first time kit.
However if you have a bit of knowledge and experience working with wood and the ability to read and measure plans then there is more than enough to complete this kit.
Probably my only gripe if one at all is that not for the first time there maybe a couple of dowels for masting missing However given the price I bought it for this is not a problem as these are easily replaced.
All measurements should taken from the drawings as I say the instructions only give the basics.
That said I am impressed with the kit there are a lot of different types of wood here and slightly different planking system regards the decks where there is a King centre plank amongst others.
I have included photos below any questions I will try and answer as best I can.
Completed Ship measurements on box.
Length - 770mm, Height - 615mm, Breadth 350mm.
There are No sails in this kit.
