Hi Tony,thanks.

Believe it or not, I have just ordered that machine. I have only just started on the rigging, so expect it will get a lot of use ! It was this forum that stopped me from buying the Serv O Matic.

Great I hope it gets to you soon I've found postage here is very slow now especially if aus post has anything to do with it. Have you thought about starting a build log we would like to see some photos of your models. I don't know if you are aware of this brilliant book from Amazon

Only available in Australia it's the best $5 I've spent.
 
Agree I have the large printed version as well as AOS Victory, McGowen Victory & Period ship handbook by Keith Julier which details the CC kit.
All are a great ref.
Still plowing through phase 1 second planking on the CC kit.
