Hi Benny, like you i am collecting the parts and still not started the build, the quality i think is quite poor part of one of my decks was the wrong size and several of the strips are split, i am waiting each week to see if they improve especially as the packing is ropey to say the best. dont know how some of the more delicate pieces will stand up to this way of packaging. current builds
victory,endeavour,thermoplye,constitution

i have learnt alot through the vic and as i am pleased with it i want the endeavour to be better,do you think a bit of money needs to be spent on planks and stuff for it to be a quality build or is it not that bad cheers benny

hi benny,I think some upgrades will be neccessery,I have used walnut on the lower deck,and will be using it on the upper deck as well,I also think that this is a consructo model,and thier kits are a little bit iffy.I'm adjusting as I go along.btw issue 10 I had to send back damage was too bad to repair.so MY build has been delayed. Current builds: SotS, USS Consitution, San Felipe, D51 loco, HMS Surprise, RB7, Arab Dhow, Jotika HMS Victory Completed builds: HMS Pickel, Thermopylae, Mississipi river boat, Mary Rose, Cutty Sark, San Francisco II, HMS Victory x5, Titanic Lifeboat, Panart HMS Victory Launch, Hachette Titanic, Virginia Schooner, Endeavour Longboat. http://www.model-space.com/gb/
