Hi Peter
That is quite a model. I assume it is a wooden kit. A lot of work but will be impressive when built.

I just have opened the box and there are buckets of parts wood eight sets of plans one colour book and a full size 1-1 plan.
The first thing to do is I definitely the first five bulkhead's and the bow keel section it shouldn't be hard as there are only two keel sections as apposed to six on the part work one and the next thing done is to angle the first five bulkhead's.20191013_132221.jpg20191013_132252.jpg20191013_132257.jpg20191013_132317.jpg20191013_132342.jpg20191013_132611.jpg20191013_132844.jpg20191013_134223.jpg20191013_134352.jpg20191013_145135.jpg20191013_145204.jpg

Building has commenced this is the easiest part of the build witch consists of the two keel sections and the 22 bulkheads witch form the basic structure and the two well decks and two strengthening running parallel to the keel20191013_153524.jpg20191014_152624.jpg20191014_152722.jpg20191014_152755.jpg

Time for an update I have added two more decks at the stern plus the formers for the walls I haven't put any decoration on as I am waiting for my PE walls and also I have shaped the stern fantail to the correct shape and attached the sternpost.20191023_171323.jpg20191023_171331.jpg20191023_171350.jpg20191023_171507.jpg20191023_171519.jpg

On with the next part this time I have constructed two sets of cabin walls ready for decorations to be glued on.
But still nowhere near ready to start on the hull planking.20191025_131732.jpg20191025_133332.jpg
