Considering you problems with the instructions she is looking really great. keep it up “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”

Martyn. I have found that you did a Va Sloop build 2013 I think? Found your build diary on the forum. I wonder the MS's kit is same as the one you built from Art Lat or have they developed their own? I tried a Model Shipways Va Sloop and found the wood parts pathetic and fragile so just canned it. Hopefully MS will do better. I am going to attempt my first photos and build diary for this kit. Can you recall any tips from the build or things to watch out for. I read thru your build and saw where you had to alter a few items. I like the natural wood look. Really stands out against the hull.
