Yesterday I purchased Mamoli's Flying Cloud kit from Tallships Unlimited so am now eagerly awaiting its arrival. |

I got it! Ordered the 11th and received the 16th - that was faster than I expected.
Bruce, you're right! In one of your posts you said that building a Tall Ship could be intimidating to some. I now understand why. I opened the box and WOW, there are thousands of pieces. For someone that has never built a model it would be intimidating.
I have one question about the hull planks that are Tanganyka wood. The picture that comes with the kit shows the wood as a golden brown color. The pieces that are in the kit are green. Bright dark-green! Is this the color they should be or have I received the wrong pieces?
Other than the
green wood it looks good. It took me about a half hour to figure out what the instructions were trying to tell me but once I figured it out it seems straight forward. It will take at least a week of reading through the instructions and looking over the plans before I can get started.
