Hi Tom,
thanks for answer. I`ve search the net for infos but i can`t find anything too. The link doesn`t work!
Do you have some pictures from your building and the model yet? Can you send me some? I`m very interested for the building because i`m not sure if i can built a wodden ship. I never do that ( only ABS or GFK Raceboats ).
Best regards
Roland

hi roland,tom here i think you can do it just study the instructions real well,also make your planks fit as close as you can,one thing about this boat you can cheat and fill the hull with body putty if the planks are't perfect.yes i will send some pics but i just shot it with primer and i have to let it dry.i will send them later.

Hi Tom,
thank you very much for your pictures. I is a nice work. Do you want to paint it in original colors?
The tug is not so a tug as we have here in europe but it looks realy nice. If you have once again some pictures i`ll be happy if you can show me.
So good work and best regards
Roland
