Greetings from Belgium

[LordKarstark]

Hey Guys,

I'm new to the forum and wanted to say hello.

I started off making a Occre Polaris in January as a complete newbie at anything that has to with wooden shipbuilding.
Finding I enjoyed doing it alot I got myself a Mamoli HMS Surprise as an advanced new years gift and have started work on it.

Seeing as it's a little more complicated then the Polaris i'm hoping to find some guidance here

I added a picture of the build so far.


I was also wondering if anybody has any experience with mamoli (or dusek) customer support, as most of the cannon that were shipped with the model have these horrible flaws in the barrels




Anyway, happy to be here

Welcome to the forums !
sorry, I can't help with the barrel issues.

Welcome aboard.
Starting a build log here will definitely give you the best guidance.
I have no experience with Mamoli, so can't help you there.

I had a little look on your youtube channel, the victory is probably a little of reach for me. But you seem to be going ok with it.
Loved the spa bottle for plank bender

LOL, I thank you. Yes, it is sometimes enough to throw yourself to the bottom of a well
