Brilliant. I'm a bit further in the construction but I know you're much more efficient than me!
I am really enjoying the build so far because everything isn't done for you, ie, the tabs to join the parts aren't actually included on the parts or as parts themselves.
I had a little trouble with frame 13 - it doesn't seem to sit down as far as its supposed to. I increased the depth of the slot it engages into which let it drop down enough to get the lines for the 'decks' to line up almost exactly with the lines on the keel.
I think you may find the same small problem with the 'bilge keel longitudinals' (best name I can think of! You'll need to cut a slot in them where they engage on the frames.
I've fitted the aft decks and first full length deck and the focsle. I had a very slight overhang in some places, I thnk it probably shouldn't but I think I'll only find out when I come to do the skinning next month.
Will you build per the kit or add/improve parts?
I might get some 1:250 railings and some rigging, I think that would improve it a lot.
Isn't Saraunas working on Michelangelo as well??
