Very nice progress and updates. It is evident that you design you, model, in mind for novices by supplying transom waterline jigs. Great Ideya.!

Is there any update on the release\sale date for us?

Many thanks for this update - and you are showing us great ideas and solutions, which help a lot of modelers to solve some typical problems.
1) small jig to mark the height of gunports etc.

This is great !!!!!

2) this small sander

wonderful idea - simple but very good

I would need nerves of steel to cut all ribs to their final length . Measure twice and cut once.

Trident provides a jig for cutting the ribs to their length (if I am not mistaken)

Have just come across this series of posts - fantastic detail!
I was going to build Salamandre after I finished Kingfisher, but on reflection...............?

HongBin's handrails made of ebony are only a test of our materials, not the materials provided in KIT, which provides cherry wood. The handrail is a difficult link in the whole production process. Because each production error is different, it is necessary to grind the handrail holes according to the actual situation.

Where canI buy those clever fingers?

It' amazing how You managed to fit the handrail over all those toptimbers
Nice model and surely a nice kit to have. Hope I can get one when the first batch is released

Yes, you are right and I was also wondering from the beginning, but I have the feeling, that the developer is keeping this under control
-> first of all it will be necessary that the frames are fitting very well, means the frame by itself - but this seems to be all covered by the temporary jigs Trident delvers with the kit.
The handrail consists our of seven elements on each side, so smaller adjustments are possible (and maybe necessary)
the board with the handrail elements

and the sketch in the manual to make the construction of the handrail clear
