HI all no I will not reset.
I have just inventoried everything and its all there + barrels + cabins. There are some bits ( wood cutouts) that are not listed but I assume they will get resolved as we go along.
I have volunteered to translate the "English translation instructions" in the manual to " English as used" in this log for each entry.
I have asked Zoly to speak to Trident, to see if I can get an editable soft copy to update for them to include with the kits. I expect that this will take some time as we work through the build. I suspect that I will not be able to distribute it in an editable form, but with luck may be able to make it a PDF for SOS Group users pending Trident and SOS approval and any copyright issues.
Anyway we will see.
With out further a due here is entry 1.
Pre Preparation Activities:
To make this model you should plan in advance.
To most skilled modellers this is a regular habit they have gotten into
However even those with minor skills can successfully build this model as long as they follow and understand the information provided in this kit
The designers of this kit have verified all they steps needed. There are lot of steps and each must be strictly followed .
A wrong step can have significant impact to the build process and not allow further steps to proceed smoothly
Due to a significant amount of sanding involved in the build, it is suggested that this be done in a well ventilated area and that appropriate protective equipment be worn.
Before removing any parts ,mark parts with their id with a pencil.
Cut the part away from the supplied timber by cutting though the waste wood around the part and then trimming away remaining waste.
Please feel free to update/ contribute any translation I do so, we can all get the best set of instructions for both our members and any future buyers.
I will collate and amend were necessary ( this group process is awesome)
See you soon.
