I couldn't wait to get this one going as unlike the gpm kits it comes with everything you just need glue and knifes.
Here's what I got.20200614_100216.jpgAnd a selection of the color pages.20200614_100245.jpgAnd the plans are easier to follow and are more self explanatory.20200614_100356.jpg20200614_100341.jpgAnd the pile of card witch saves having to go buy more.20200614_100414.jpg
 
looks impressive - what was the postage cost if you don't mind me asking - I quite fancy a bit of retro with the Chris Craft Futura.
 
Nice, thanks for that - I presume you emailed them because I can't fathom the ordering system on the website
 
Schreiber is a very old and reliable company with principle good service.
Ordering is also possible directly from their web-page in english
With this you can save some money
 
aye I tried their website but the only thing you can put in a 'basket' is their catalogue! I've emailed them so I'll see.
 
progressing nicely. I forgot to ask is it all paper/card or are there some plastic/metal fittings as well?

It is all paper and card and that's the challenge there is add on extras for the trumpeter one but at the price asked I will stick with the card one
 
I have finished off all the hull plating so while it's drying I will now get on with the multitude of fittings.20200620_180753.jpg20200620_180803.jpg20200620_180823.jpg20200620_180833.jpg20200620_180901.jpg
 
Here's the next update I have constructed the two wings for the props and also mad up the props witch were a bit fiddly.
And I have completed the framework support's for the next deck.
I also have made up the stand witch was just as difficult and at last I have a use for the 1000 little figures that I brought some time ago20200621_101724.jpg20200621_112025.jpg20200621_131949.jpg20200621_133705.jpg20200621_134212.jpg20200621_184322.jpg20200622_174150.jpg20200622_174212.jpg20200622_173014.jpg20200622_174923.jpg
 
yep that's fiddly alright, but looking good. painting all those figures will be a joy!
 
Coming along nicely but one thing you might want to consider is edge coloring to avoid the white edges. I have found Neocolor crayons which are watersoluable and blendable that I scribble on a scrap paper, mix with water then apply with a wet paint brush.
 
Now that I have my figures time to restart even though they in modern colours once the promonade deck walls are on I shouldn't look to bad.
And I have started on the bride walls and that includes cutting out the windows and I will add a piece of clear plastic when I install them.20200628_165848.jpg20200628_165910.jpg20200628_165939.jpg20200628_193339.jpg20200628_193344.jpg
 
I am getting to the end of the main build and I am now starting on the multitude of smaller parts and here's just one vent from a flat piece of card to finished article.
And two more in place.
