I'm in the early stages (hull and first planking completed) of building the Gerard Schmitt kit Prince de Neufchatel. This kit has nice plans but no instructions and is proving challenging for a novice builder. Does anyone have any experience with this kit? Any advice or build pictures would be much appreciated.

Prince de Neufchatel
It took me a few years and a cross country move but she was finally completed 5 yrs ago. I'm just an average builder and am very pleased when a ship is finally completed.
