Build Log for a Graupner Glasgow

[Billb]

I just started a build log at the R/C group for my Graupner Glasgow Kit. Do we need one here also or do we have more than we need now?

Graupner Glasgow Kit Building Log. I am counting all the parts now and hope to have some pictures of the kit this weekend. Later in the log I will state the upgrades and mods that I would like to or have to do. If anyone has any input please jump in. This is my first Building Log so it may take sometime to get it all right

I only have two points to make Bill, first we'd love to see your build log, the more the better! And secondly, we're a very easy going bunch, so don't worry about making any little errors with a posting - One of the team of Admins/Moderators will help with any problems or give advice as it's needed.

Plus it also makes the website much more enjoyable to use if you take an active part, then you can get a bit of feedback and help from our members - Those that sit back and post nothing cannot complain if they have a question that isn't answered!

Regards
Eddy

A couple of pictures to get things going. There are 5 sheets of drawings in the Kit, 1, 2 and 3 are building drawings and 4 and 5 are Building instructions in several languages.
I made copies of all 5 drawings and cut out the English instructions to use. Here is a picture of what comes in the Box. And a picture of the hull wash and lightly sand ready for a Gray primer I like to paint my Hull first cover it as I built it and if needed touch up what I am done.

Adding photos is easy Bill, when your posting your message, look below the box your entering the message text into. Click on "Additional Options" - Then use the "Attach" box to browse your computer for the image you want to add....

You can add more than one image by clicking on "More Attachments" - It sounds complicated and clumsy at first, but it really is very simple to do....

The images will be added to your post when you click on "Post" to complete your message.

Just keep the images to a reasonable size (less than 200Kb each if possible), and you shouldn't have any trouble.

Making the Cradle you must supply your own wood for the Cradle, as it is not in the kit, however the patent for it is. I make a working cradle till I have the model completed then I Make a finish one, as you can see in the Pictures. This is a finish cradle, for one for my schooners.
