Starting with the kit, I will never complain about Dragon instructions again these are something special I don't know if it's just a wooden kit thing in general or this kit. Second wood glue compared to something like Tamiya extra thin, I like the extended work time but it's a lot slower build as you can only do little by little.
Getting to this ship now first thing I did, this is a older boxing of the kit and the newer ones come with a different stern spiral you can cut off and attach. Here is what the spiral looks like on the blue print.
So I spent about a hour carving out the spiral to something better.
I also got the false deck that you lay the planking down onto completely glued down and it's drying.
Next up will be planking the hull I'm going to say that will take at least a week since I want to make sure each strip is fully dry and in place before moving onto the next.
If anyone has any experience with wooden kits and can offer some advice I would appreciate that very much.
Thanks for looking in
SKOL!
