Hi all, these plans and the magazine I am going to send to Martin (as long as he promises to return them) because,
I know where he lives thank you for your kind comments, but, please bear in mind, that I have deviated from these plans a little because I was inspired by certain peoples' builds on this here forum. I substituted plain plywood for mahogany diagonally planked and also, the decking. This isn't mentioned in the plans, as its just plain old plywood. There are also several other deviations which I have made whilst building this model
to accommodate modern day technology and materials and oh yes, I did give it a coating of resin. I did, however, want to try Full Leather Jacket's method of tissue and dope on the hull skin, but, I wasn't sure whether the grain of the planking would show through. This method is yet to be tried by myself, but possibly I will try it on another model.
Thank you all for your comments.
