Thanks, I will come to you for any advice then. So far so good. Only real issue so far has been working around having a fixed keel frame. It made fixing the lower stem planks tricky.
I had this model in my closet for years but always another model got in the way first.
Finally I sold it it on EBay, but is a very ornamentally designed ship, very elegant looking model. I wish you the best building her.
Awesome! Keep posting your build log. Ask questions if you need. We welcome you to the forum. This kit will be a challenge for you but focus down on one part…one step…at a time and you will have a gorgeous finished model. I have the kit on my shelf plus a set of additional hull decorations. But it is a ways down on my list as I have other kits I want to build first. Don’t ask how I accumulated them. Long story. Anyway…I am almost finished the hull of the HMS Revenge 1577 Race built Galleon with masting a rigging yet to go…
