Hi All Here we go, I received the first 5 issues this week and have been cracking on with her, I have made up a dry dock using brackets and wooden retainers as you will see from the pic's. So here's work in progress most of the hull components have been fitted together now and the 1st deck has been planked as per the instructions, my only deviation here was to use cocktail sticks for the trenail's instead of the pencil marking. More soon regards Andy arpurchase attached the following image(s): Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Fantastic, one of my most favorite ships! I have been wanting to start this subscription for a while now. Hopefully, as this is an Occre based kit the gun ports are pre-cut and the frames and port lids are metal fitting so will save loads of time Good luck with this, Im sure you will do a fantastic job, BTW are you painting or leaving natural?

Hi Steve Thanks for looking in and your comments, she has loads of metal parts as you say and has lots of different hard woods in her construction a full set of sails and an X -section like the Victory to boot. I have been itching to start this one regards Andy Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Hi Andy, great start you have made on this one... .. I have up to part 25 now in my collection and reading through the download instructions I see we are to build the cross section in tandem with the main build rather than at the end, think this will make the build a little more interesting..... .. Keep posting, look forward to you next instalment.. Regards Alan

Hi Jase thanks for looking in, the deck im doing now will disappear under another deck soon and the only part visible will be the welldeck part but as its hard to get at the details make the difference. I will shortly be starting on the x-section regards Andy Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .
