Just make sure you install the deck at the same time the hull halves go together! lol

So you have seen my work. LOL

it's very straightforward and without much in the way of difficult rigging or *fiddly bits*....but it represents a major icon in the history of model ship building.

No, the rigging is very basic. ( It's been a while since I'v fully rigged a ship, so I need the practice.)

Definetly an "Icon" of the age of discovery. The Carrak's were either painted in every color they could get, -Or- no paint at all. Im kinda leaning toward's something in the middle. ( I dont want it to look like my paintbooth "exploded " all over it.

I will be back in a week with update's. ( I'm going to miss checking in with you guy's daily....... CURSE YOU HUESNET !!!!! )

Dont worry about the thumbprint, paint it Rust , and call it "Battle Damage"

Not too many part's...

And this is one "HECK" of a lump of plastic for the sail.....

I may have to come up with something a little better for a sail.

What a fun, classic kit!

As far as ship kits go, it's very straightforward and without much in the way of difficult rigging or *fiddly bits*....but it represents a major icon in the history of model ship building.

Can't wait to see how it turns out :)

I just had to get this on the bench..... lets see if I can get more than half-way through it.... before it goes back in the box to sit for a year...

Theres not a lot too it... and the rigging is almost non-existing..... so I "should" be able to power through it in just a few day's . Right ? ..... Right ?.....

It's from 1967 so the plastic is a bit brittle. We will see how many parts I maul....
