So I got all the flats sections done the next parts start curving inwards more which is the bevelled areas this part goes from frame 9 to frame I I have the outer part perfect now need to get the inner parts fixed. The problem is with back to school I am putting in 15 and 16 hrs a day so until sunday when my 3 day weekends start its just a few mins after work while I relax before bed to work on it.
sorry guys had to finish my honey-do's from being gone all summer I am getting ready to get back to the build. as for my drawings up i goofed up got the wrong dimensions etc made it way too big so just converted it to a generic 32 gun ship. spending couple hours a day faring things up but I got all the flats done just trying to fare things up
Hello Joe,how is the kit coming along?
