Hi Karl,
I agree just got next 4 copies thier spreading it out to much. To many problems with this build for the price.
Just to let you know I got plans for the challenger I asked you about, got them from original designer.

Hi Karl.. Your build is looking great... You are so right, it is slow going, but a good side track from the victory. I would just like to get the hull planking done. best regards, Ian Ian Builds in progress: E-type, HMS Victory, HMS Endeavour, HMS Soverein of the Seas Wish list: Bentley Blower http://forum.model-space...spx?g=posts&m=30439

hi bodge,never a truer word said in jest,I refuse to give up,I must be mad,but as for any future projects from eaglemoss FORGET IT!I will interpret to my own taste,but in a warped sort of way I am enjoying building it, footnote,my supplier hasn't been able to get last weeks issue as of yet.and the hood,maclaren either,so very edgy at the moment.
