Ok when this first started I ordered the Endeavour Long boat, in 3 parts, as a practice model. So far I have received the instructions and parts for installment 2 and the instructions but no parts for installment 1 , even though they were sent out on 29/5/10, So the plan is to have a bash at that and belay (a nautical term) the order to cancel my subscription to HMS Victory and any future issues I receive I will leave sealed so that if I then decide to cancel after attempting the long boat I will at least be able to get a refund.
FAO admin,
could you send me PDFs of the instructions so that I could send them out to my mailing list until I make a decision. (Don't ask don't get, He can only say no)
So if any one else wishes to subsribe to the PDF's+ then send me an email at dedworthdognospam@gmail.com Delete "nospam" from the address. At least you'll get the 1st 10 to get started and who knows what the future holds.Follow my build to learn how to make firewood

Hi Jim,
Glad you decided to give it another go, its my first build also,and i got hands like shovels, but im determined to finish it, just hope it looks the part, but if it don't ,so be it, it will still give me something to do for a couple of years.
Good luck
Ferret

 Good on ya Jim glad to hear you're gonna give this modelliing lark another go  This is my first wooden ship build too and from the pictures of your progress your attempt is better than mine, I've even ordered a back issue of number 6 so I can have another go at the launch as I have that gut feeling that mine is gonna be awful   Anyway fingers crossed your longboat goes ok and you continue with the victory build.
I wish I were a glow worm,

'Cause how can you be grumpy?
When the sun shines out ya bum!!

FAO admin,
could you send me PDFs of the instructions so that I could send them out to my mailing list until I make a decision. (Don't ask don't get, He can only say no)
So if any one else wishes to subsribe to the PDF's+ then send me an email at dedworthdognospam@gmail.com Delete "nospam" from the address. At least you'll get the 1st 10 to get started and who knows what the future holds. dedworthdog/jim, i've pmed everybody with issue 11, if you want to keep your issues sealed until further notice, I happily email everybody each issue on a weekly basis. (I sent out an email not to long ago with issue 11) and I will be receiving them on a weekly basis :) Your the person who came up with the idea, so if you prefer to continue it then by all means. and thanks!
