Hi all, I've just brought this boat, as I've always liked the style, as I used to see them all the time as a kid.
Firstly has anyone made one of these before ? I've never tried a wooden kit, so this is my first. On opening the box, lots of little bits n pieces, & very basic instructions
No running gear is supplied, but thats no problem, also very basci detailing, but again that can be over come easily.
Satage one says lay the keel , which is in 2 parts, on the plan, to position other parts, which you can't see where to fit as the keel now covers the plan
It doesn't give you measurements etc, also none of the slots fit, so they all need to be sanded out to fit. It says this is an easy kit to build... Mmm who are they kidding
well here's a few pics of the kit, & if anyones done this before & can give some advice I'm all ears !!! I'm sure once it gets going It'll be ok, so in the next week or so expect an update or look on ebay under the sales section
Cheers Dan.
