Found a nice link here - http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1186684
a few nice pics if you scroll right down, also realized why the stern looks so weird in the build magazine - it seems it is shown with the stern planks vertical when the "real" thing was planked horizontally, certainly looks better and is what I will be doing on mine...eventually Steve

Just picked up issue 3 from the shop where I have them reserved, 3 more frames to the collection. There is a leaflet inside this issue with an offer to subscribe with Hachette within 10 days and get issue 4+5 plus binder plus sander all for £5.99 This is not mentioned on the website but is an extra incentive. So I'm about to take them up on this offer! Steve

Correction - there is a mention on the website that if you start collecting before issue 4 then you get a free issue and binder, just spotted it now  Steve

Regards delboy271155 (Derek) Hi Del, It is tempting to begin but firstly I want all the frames and keel to go onto the build board at the same time, not sure I like the idea of building up in sections. Got to have a good think about lighting too Thanks for looking Steve

Just a quick note on this build, still not started yet - I think there are some major stock issues with this collection - since mid Jan I have only received 7 issues, the binder, sander and a badly broken storage box  Got plenty to do in the meantime though but just wanted to get a post up to say this one is on hold until I can collect a decent number of issues. Cheers Steve
