Hi Lilminx. Welcome to the forum. Great start to your launch. On the build board if you mark a centre line down the board. it will aid you on getting the keel straight and positioning the brackets. Look forward to seeing your progress. Ian Current builds.Hachettes build the bismark,HMS Victory, HMS Hood.
Finished Builds Corel HMS Victory cross section.

Hi Andrea, looks like you're off to a good start and I'll be following your build as you progress.... If you resize your pics to 600 x 480 pixels you will see them appear on your diary as a pic rather than as a download..... .. Look forward to your next update... Regards Alan
