Soliel Royal Build STAGE 1 So the first part I put hands on was the moderately warped bow section of the false keel. I ended up soaking it in hot water then placing it under heavy weight. I let it get mostly dry then proceeded to glue and clamp the hull frame. They rest of the pack came off without a hitch. Anxiously waiting for Pack 2 to arrive in 3 weeks. mwstratton attached the following image(s): Currently: Soliel Royal, Deag DC-3, DeAg Ford Shelby Mustang GT 500

Great to see another SR on the forum, i am sure you will enjoy the build, and she does turn into a beautiful ship. 'The wait between issues is killing me.' You say that now, but once the build starts in earnest, you'll wonder where the time went Looking forward to your next update. Regards Gray
