hello JB,
it looks like a great kit.my biggest problem is i have never built a resin kit and i have never used PE on a ship,so i will be asking a lot of questions as i build her.
the best thing about Flagship Models is that the PE came with the kit.i did not know that,so i ordered a set.so i have 2 sets of PE details in-case it mess up 1 of them.
if you look under the Predreadnought folder, i will post all of the photo's i took of her.
cheers,
Bruce

Hi Bruce,

That is a pretty sharp looking little kit. Gotta love that cambered deck and being in a large enough scale to actually see the details as well as work on them helps too.

Don't let the resin part spook you, it is actually pretty easy to deal with, just a different type of glue to stick things together with, either two part epoxy or CA. FSM had an article on resin ship model building and it is available in their websites' downloadable section if you are a member, if not and you would like a look see at it let me know and I can E Mail you a copy.

Looking forwards to watching it go together.

hello Jay,
Rusty at Flagship Models has a lot of CD's on ship building,realistic weathering,using PE,etc.that is next on my wish list.
thanks for the heads up about the article at Fine Scale.i am a member and will go looking for it.
cheers,
Bruce
