Thanks Donnie and Zoly for creating this group build and recruiting some more modelers for this project. I’ve been studying the plans and the book for quite some time now. Adrian’s book is a true step by step log of his build. If this is your first POF build like me (the Blandford section was my first) this book is absolutely necessary. I made copies of all the frames. 2 copies of each and can always make more of needed. I have plenty of lumber for the keel assembly and I’ll order the thinner stock this week or next. I’m using Beech for the entire ship but when I get to decks and topside I may select something different for certain areas. I expect to take 2 years or so for this build. Like most of you I’ll have many many questions and working together and with the help of more experienced members we can figure things out that we may not understand. Give it your best shot. Good luck. Get cracking.
