Shipmodeling - HM Sherbourne of 1763 by Vanguard Models

[@bramdamvan2524]

I got into the model ship building hobby just two years ago with the tiny 18ft cutter kit from Vanguard Models. After that, I built the Duchess of Kingston model (I can highly recommend it!) I am sure I would have given up on this hobby without the elaborate manual and plans that come with the kit. Currently I'm building the HMS Indefatigable from Vanguard Models and I'm thoroughly enjoying it, thanks to everything I've learned on these two first kits.

Regarding the adjustable pin pusher. I bought one and it seems that it is more suitable for thicker pins. I tried it and it bent the very fine pins supplied with my previous Vanguard kit. So I tapped the pins in with a very light hammer. I must treat myself to the finer pin pusher soon.

[@Tagliamare]

Yes pins are super light. I prefer to use pliers in this case

[@bramdamvan2524]

I personally own the thin pin pusher that is sold by Vanguard Models, and that one worked very well for the small nails that came with the Duchess of Kingston kit from VM.

Jolie boite . Les pièces sembles sympas a découper et a utiliser . Les épaisseur de bois sont données en métrique ,gros plus de ce coté de la Manche nommée FRANCE . Le premier livre présenté est semble plus qu'excellent bien qu'en Anglais pour moi Francophone uniquement . Le prix du kit semble raisonnable meme en livre sterling ,les frais de port chez les anglais sont souvent élevé . La qualité du kit et la documentation fournie avec compensent tout cela .

Is this a reworking of the original Caldercraft model or totally new/different?

[@Tagliamare]

Totally different
