Hello Guest! There's a lot to look over, so sit back with a cup of coffee, relax and browse around. We have a great group of ship and boat modelers here, both newbies and old salts, from all over the world. Our goal here is to help each other, without criticism or rebuke. Both newbies and old salts alike can learn from each other. No one has all the answers. Our most basic rule is simple, respect for your fellow members and their opinions.

The 18th Century Longboat Press Release doesn't work for me. Will there be an instruction booklet by Chuck for this kit?

Wow, what a fine little model. $120 sounds a little pricy considering the alternatives in that price range, but the introductory price of $70 deserves some serious consideration. Hmm, I’m thinking of my Christmas list here.

I didn't see anything about a $70 introductory offer, but then again I can't log into my ME account either.

Don:
It's the first post on MSW under Chuck's 18th Century Long Boat Kit: http://modelshipworld.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=17019 
I don't see the $70 price on the ME site either. Maybe you have to have the mailer ad, or call ME and do some fast talking. In this economy, that might work.

Absolutely beautiful Chuck! Does this model incorporate your new method of framing? i.e. breakaway bulkheads?

Yes it does...its basically the same little model you saw me build here.

Thanks for the kind words.

Heres a sneak peak at the instructions.
