I received the kit a few days ago, but have been too sick to open it for a look-sea ;).
This will be my second sailing ship kit.

When I opened the box, the first thing that stood out to me was the profound change in size of the ship from the HMS Beagle (1:60), which I am currently building (I am showing my ignorance here). I knew the Endurance was bigger, and I thought the 1:70 scale would bring it down to a similar size. Boy, was I wrong...

I bought a few books to read while doing the build. South With Endurance is mainly a photographic reference, while Endurance is about the story.

Good luck with your build. You may or may not be aware that I am doing the same build with identical kit (with some of my variations)
