Very nice kit, with laser cut framing and other parts, cleanly done and accurate. Assembly is coming along fast and clean. Basic frame is together, nice thick bulkheads for solid planking footing. Moving into gunport framing and then general faring of the hull to prepare for planking. Its been over a year since I've done plank on bulkhead, almost forgot how much fun it is. This model will mostly be single layer of planks, so what goes down will be finished product, less room for mistakes. Sistering and spiling will be done in traditional method. Bluff bow and stern sweep will require some plank bending prep work on jigs, etc. So, here we go, hope you folks enjoy the build. Dennis
