In a bit of perfect timing, I received my Alert kit today, on my birthday no less! My initial impression is ”Damn, this is NICE!!” On reading the instructions, “Damn! These sorta suck!” I’ve had the AoS title for years, and that puppy is gonna get some use. We moved a couple of months ago, and...

IT HAS ARRIVED!!! My first post. Hopefully this works.

Well I am setting up my build log for this kit, so I can start posting when my kit makes it in at some point down the line. Can't wait to order and receive one, and hope I don't have too many vessels in the shipyard to be able to bring this one in when it gets in port.

The La_Cerf's keel was laid in my shipyard in June 2014. In AutoCad I drew the bulkheads with steps in them for the clinker planking, which speeded up the planking with narrowing only in the bow and stern. To provide a larger area of adhesion, the spaces in the stern and the bow are filled with...

Hi guys, This is my first post. Few years ago I bought Chuck Passaro's kit Cutter Cheerful 1806, for the sole purpose of learning how to "properly" plank ship's hull. Anyways, hull has been planked, so here are few pictures.
