The Paint Set.
The Light Set
Base.
Kit.
Laser cut pieces.
Some of the pages/illustrations.
1 page of instructions
There are 9 pages of inventory items
There are nice illustrations.
I'm not sure yet, but looks like the hull is roughed in and painted black. If this is the case, I'll have to make my own planking and do it right. I might be wrong. I hope so.
There are some YouTube videos.

I will have to get this one also. I am working on a first timer one right now called the Buccaneer.
Many Thanks for starting the building log - I wish you a lot of fun with the kit and the project
Good morning Rob. I will pull up a chair here. 2 builds at once— “now you are talking” . Cheers Grant
Wow, It's a brand-new model. Didn't know they already deliver it. I'm building the Black Pearl and was looking at the Dutchmen. So it's really interesting to watch your build. The kit looks really promising, wish you luck and fun while building it.
Hi Grant. The only reason for building 2 is I've bought so darn many kits
enjoy....this fabled ship has many tales along the west coast of South Africa and Namibia. Close to home you may say. Look forward to your build Rob. Cheers GrantHi Grant. The only reason for building 2 is I've bought so darn many kits
Cut out the keel and bulkheads. I have a question.
I was planning on cutting my first rabbet. But looks like there isn't any space for a rabbet on this kit (see image below.) Those of you who have cut rabbets, 1) should I wait on a rabbet until I start a kit with room for a rabbet or 2) should I plan on adding a false keel (correct word??) making room for the rabbet. Thank you.

You have nice sharp photography on your build log.
