Hi Martyn, and birthday greetings.
A lovely little kit and one I've had my eye on for some time now, so I'll be looking in on your diary regularly. It's good to see yet another addition to the fleet. Happy building.
David

Thank you all for the Birthday Wishes and the nice comments Now the build Started by fitting the ribs dry to get them to sit right in the keel . A small bit of filing to get them to sit level Glued the ribs and checked that they were at right angles to the keel . Left to dry over night Fitted deck and top ribs for the quarter deck Thats all for now thanks for looking in rgd Martyn Martyn Ingram attached the following image(s): Building ?

Hi all . A little bit more work on the ship Started planking the deck with the Tanganica wood . Just to say if you make this kit there is only just the right amount of wood to do the job so no cockups  The corking and treenails are done with pencil then on to the stern The stern is planked with walnut Next is the first layer of lime planks Thanks for looking in rgd Martyn Martyn Ingram attached the following image(s): Building ?

Hi Martyn. Build looking great. I like seeing new models under construction. As a rank Newbie it gives me an idea of what my next ship might be. Keep up the great work. Regards George Building HMS SOTS

Thank you all for the bril comments The build has come to a stop at the moment  Mr Corel has not put enough lime planks in the box I have 23 the list says 30 I ALSO counted the walnut and that is short by 3  I think it was packed on a Friday afternoon after a bottle Vino  Hay ho the model shop is going to get hold of the rep to get some more  Hope to get back on her soon rgd Martyn Martyn Ingram attached the following image(s): Building ?

That's a little disappointing Martyn, from the diaries I've followed, they normally give you just enough planking for the job or more than needed.
I do have lots of spare lime and walnut planking if you'd like some sent to you f.o.c.
happy building

Hi Martyn, Sorry to see you have to put this on pause for a bit, Corel are well know for giving you the exact amount of material for the job, there is little room for error but when you get less than stated then you have no chance  Im sure you will get it sorted out though. I'm off to check my Corel Sloup kit contents now Steve
