To be perfectly honest I mostly just shake the crap out of em. Clear's I mix with a toothpick or junk wood laying around.

At 72 and with the medical issues I have, I can't shake anymore. Getting old is a real PITA.

I understand Rick, found this on Ebay, there are also cheaper "knock off's" of it available.
I've always heard good things about Robart.

Thanks but I've found the complete plastic box with all the small stuff inside on ebay for $50.
I'm still waiting for Artesania to answer my email.

Will this be an effect of my aging process :-( .

I went back to you first postings to take a look to the pictures of the boats. Then I realized that the box you got from eBay it is the NEW version from AL.

The old one I am building (pictured finished hull in previous posting ) and I have an extra kit is this one :

If you zoom it you will see all the deck differences between this OLD kit and your newer version.

Moreover you will understand why I did the deck floor so fancy. The new version does not have that floor.

The funny part (or not) was that I though all the time you got this very first version of this model.

Well cheers and I do not bother you more. I will follow this thread so I learn from you as you build what you have in mind.

Have an excellent weekend
Daniel

Daniel,
I have the original version of this ship as you have. Have you by chance started a build log? If so would you post the site?

This is what you need? I can see about making some!View attachment 171366View attachment 171367

How are you painting the wheels and rings? Black and red or some other color?
