Haven't had much time this week to do much. Have been shaping the bow and ribs pre planking. Just been using a fine sandpaper to do it so taking a bit of work. And slow going but the model is quite small and fragile so taking it easy so I don't break anything. Current builds

You may think its slow progress Erik but as we say, its a journey building these kits not a race. Take your time and you'll end up with a beautiful successful build to be proud of…. Regards Alan

just about got the forming done and have pre formed a couple of the first planks (similar to what MWG did on his) which i will (time permitting) get attached tonight. must remember to take pics as an FYI a second victory has come up for sale on our local ebay type website. two deagostini parts works now on as complete kits with mags. first one is $1000nz + freight which is approx 500 pounds + freight second one is $750nz no freight as its in the same city as i am so could pick up. approx 380 pounds both kits sound like they were got at the same time as they have both indicated they are about 2 years from completion of the series so very tempting Current builds
