Comments
- Detailed instructions tell how to proceed with the first layer of the hull, then in (Step-29) how to proceed with the second layer.
- This model is a "doubled hulled" ship.
- The modeler will want to sand the first layer some so the second layer will lie down smoothly to give good lines.
- Also, each mast and yard arm must be sanded to the correct shape.
- Detailed written and photo manuals, with number cross-references for each manual.
- All deck accessories must be built, painted or stained for added realism.
- Taking the time to do the detail work will give, a truly realistic boat model and very rewarding building experience.
