this is the first two issues,the plyparts are not laser cut,but are very accurate,the deck is dry fitted at the mo,but I did glue the ribs in,no work required on the ribs,but the keel was slighly warped,I dampened it down and placed it under my playstation,(very weighty) and all was well.

I to am doing this build and am pleased with it so far although due to boredom I have also nailed the planks in place. I have kind of ruined my Victory build through being impatient and jumping the gun a bit with the build but as I am going for the painted finish I have full confidence in it looking good at the end. If I had known these were going to be so much hard (but fun) work I would have stuck to working on my real 31ft boat as it is easier to keep afloat than either of these builds.

hi venice,please don't take this the wrong way,I understand your impatience,but these old timer ships,did'nt have brass nails,they were wooden ones,called treenails.I will be using cocktail sticks on mine,and waiting for the whole deck,before I start them,but if brass nails are your thing then go for it,looking foreward to seeing more pics,why don't you put up a build log of your own?yours is looking good so far,keep up the good work.

Hi there I too have subscribed to the Endeavour, but not received any parts yet. I must have collected lots of brownie points here as my wife suggested that I build the Endeavour Not going to start it yet as I have too much on the go, plus I am looking to convert a couple of plastic models to R/C
