DSiemens Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 A friend of mine have me this kit and told me make it however I like just bring it back when it's done. So I'm going to kit bash this a bit. At first glance its simple enough. The box is way bigger than the parts inside. I suspect the bigger box is to protect the bottle. So far so good. The laser precuts makes cutting out the pieces super easy. I sugest using the keel as a guide when gluing the hull together. The instructions don't say that so I had mine mostly glued before I realised it was a tiny bit off. Sanding should fix it but the keel guide would be helpful. I do like how it's coming together in general. I'm curious about the brass fittings. I've heard others had trouble with them but we'll see.

Landlubber Mike Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 Hey Daniel, that's the kit I started with to get into the hobby (I might have a log on here). It works into a nice kit, but be very careful about the masts and the bowsprit - they are so thin, the bowsprit broke on me a couple of times. I would consider replacing at least the masts with brass/wood rods - they will be more stable, and be more three dimensional. Good luck!
