After having surgery on my eyes , 20/20 now, I ordered Glad Tidings and recieved it yesterday.Opened the box , looked at the drawings and wondered if I was in deep water.
I am proably will need a lot of help from members in this forum.
My last build was the King of Mississippi and it took me six months to build. I rembered it took Olha Batchvarov 10 months or 1800 hours to complete hers. I guess when you see it built in 10 minutes or so you tend to forget things like that.

I inventoried the kit and to my dismay there were 2 sheets of the starboard center keels and none of the port center keels. Other than the keels there were different parts on the wooden sheets. I sent a parts request to Model Shipways and they verified the reciept of request.
The first thing I need to research is I have to cut the rabbits in the keels for the planking. Never done that before. Any advice or tipswould be appreciated
Thanks in Advance
