Hi Benny, Sorry I had to rush out earlier. I agree with what Alan has said,and I will continue with the build. The cannons I have replaced,as you see further back in the build log, plus I have purchased planking in yards approx £15 worth, this replaced some of the substandard wood supplied by Eaglemoss, I have as you can see finished the first layer of planking, and you know what? she does look very respectable she is a big model(1/48 scale)I believe you should carry on with the build,it will enable you to put your own stamp on the model as it progresses I think you, like me and others will make it a far better model in the end.

welcome to the endevour build hans, mwg gives great advice etc on this project, one word of caution, here in the Uk it is a slow build, ideal between victory deliveries... but dont dispair, it is a large model when complete and looks good alan current builds

ISSUE 38 Again in this issue not much to do, although people will be planking still,not a lot of guidance from Eaglmoss in the instructions regarding this important part of the build, its all about hatch cover and Anchors, This is what we received this week:- MWG attached the following image(s): MWG BUILD DIARIES: HMS VICTORY, SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS, SAN FRANCISCO II, HMS HOOD, HMS ENDEAVOUR LONGBOAT, HMS VICTORY X-SECTION, 007 DB5, NISSAN GTR, CUTTY SARK, RB7, AKAGI, BARK HMS ENDEAVOUR, HUMMER H1, MITSUBISHI ZERO.

Thats the first layer of planking(she is a double planked model.) I still have to do a little fine sanding,although I am pleased with the result so far. The Bow is a bluff bow meaning it is very flat and shallow as you can see on the photos and I am going to make the Bow and stern out of Balsa wood,I am fed up of waiting for the ply formers to be supplied with the build, here is that Bow:- Thats all for now, comments welcome MWG attached the following image(s): MWG BUILD DIARIES: HMS VICTORY, SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS, SAN FRANCISCO II, HMS HOOD, HMS ENDEAVOUR LONGBOAT, HMS VICTORY X-SECTION, 007 DB5, NISSAN GTR, CUTTY SARK, RB7, AKAGI, BARK HMS ENDEAVOUR, HUMMER H1, MITSUBISHI ZERO.

Thanks for the welcome MIke and Alan. I have noted the slowness of delivery and parts as per the comments, so at this stage checking collecting issues till I have sufficent to make a good start. In middle of the Victory at the moment and have a number issues in hand waiting for attention. Make a few mistakes that had to be corrected.(called kit bashing I believe) and want to make a few enhancements such as miniture furniture etc, as she deserves and obviously to personlise, so am quite busy, but will follow with great interest. Rgds, Hans

I have purchased the balsa wood which I am using for the Bow and Stern formers. See the photos, one plank fits the stern exactly, I will have to use two lengths of plank laminated for the bow. If the formers turn up from Eaglemoss I will still use Balsa wood:- MWG attached the following image(s): MWG BUILD DIARIES: HMS VICTORY, SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS, SAN FRANCISCO II, HMS HOOD, HMS ENDEAVOUR LONGBOAT, HMS VICTORY X-SECTION, 007 DB5, NISSAN GTR, CUTTY SARK, RB7, AKAGI, BARK HMS ENDEAVOUR, HUMMER H1, MITSUBISHI ZERO.
