Hi Ray,

Glad to see you posting your build of La Gloire. I always thought it was a nice looking model. Might want to be a little careful about bending those bow planks, looks like they may be breaking on that first bulkhead.

I haven't built a Mamoli kit in a long time. Looks like they are using laser cut bulkheads now? That should really improve their symmetry, which has been a problem in the past. How well did everything go together?

Things went together alright had to enlarge one set of notches for the decking it didnt quite line up otherwise mostly alright. your right about the symmetry even though its laser cut theres a slight problem with symmetry with the planking on the bulkheads, nothing like a bit of putty to fix it though.
Cheers
Ray
