Forgive me if this is all old hat to everyone bar me. Has anyone read:

Is it worth the money or a waste?

As I've said recently I'm very much behind the game and when I see some of the outstanding builds I'm very envious. (You know who you are, I'm not going to embarrass you).

Maybe I'll post a pic and show how far behind I am, not even hull integrity as yet.

Hi,
Yes, I bought it and I don't think it's a waste, (but that's just my opinion). It's very interesting and looks at the Victory from another perspective. Lots of history and some good pics. And a reasonable price too.
Know what you mean by those other build diaries. They make my build look very amateurish by comparison, but then I haven't had the experience, this being my first wooden build, but none the less, very satisfied with what I've achieved so far thanks to DeAg's excellent photo instructions which I couldn't have managed without, not to mention the wealth of information, help and camaraderie from our fellow shipmates on the forum.

Happy building
David
