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.
ciao, Super little ship which can be a real little gem, it would tempt me, can't wait for next week for the start of the assembly, you scare me with the xsato 😮in your hand already that you have a doll on the go, thank you for this beautiful discovery.
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.
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.

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

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