Looking good,coming along very nicely. Are there no planks to bend around the bow on this one, or are filling blocks used there? Steve

Hi Steve Thanks for looking in and your comments. The bow has light ply fillers that are sanded to profile with the planks then the final planking go's onto this regards Andy Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Hi Rover You could say that but each ship has its own characteristics that eventually make it a different build some like the Victory are single planked whilst the Triny is double planked each having its own challenges and quirks so although they look alike they each have differences. Hope this helps regards Andy Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Hi All Not much to do this month as the instructions are still finishing off the 1st layer of planking. The launch is now finished and has a couple of coats of matt varnish but im not too happy with the finish on this so will probably recoat in satin. That just left a grating to make up apart from the anchor's but they will be made up when there needed. Next month [pack 11] has more bits for the x section so will carry on with that in the spate build diary regards Andy arpurchase attached the following image(s): Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .
