And of course Master Builder Cricket making sure I'm not missing anything. Problem is....getting parts out of a bag he has claimed. He's VERY possessive...and I have the scars to prove it!

Then again, I often wondered how you could build a hut from large leaves and live in it, but they did (probably still do in places). It's a really odd cat. Likes water and bubble baths! Lets just say its a race to the bath tub between the our 4-yr old and the cat at bath time. Then its a struggle to keep the cat out of the tub while getting the little one washed. I won't even get into what its like when trying to wash the dishes. | ||

After a few hectic weeks, finally able to get a little modeling time and made a little more progress. Well, next I will have to work on the sails. The ones that come with the model IMHO are not good at all. Will have to see what I can come up with.

Mine has no details regarding pintles or gudgeons... These must exist don't they... I can't find any info on this... Could you post a pic of what you've done on your very nice build | ||

I'm thinking that whatever held it in place would have been internal, thus the reason you don't see any pintles or gudgeons. Doesn't seem like a lot of thought went into designing this kit in terms of authenticity. Unfortunately, at the time, my digital camera was on its way out so I didn't keep a detailed photo build log. What you see here on the site is what I have. | ||
