There was a package waiting at home today. This was the Sloop Slaughter shipment from Laser Dream Works for their Run out the Guns Kickstarter. That changed all the plans for the evening! I spent a hermit like evening in my basement workroom building up the simplest of the three kits; the American Gunboat. However, I'm not going to show off that build right now, instead I'll show you the un-boxing of the kits. I need some more time to put my thoughts in order on the build and hopefully make it a little easier on the next guy.
And now the un-boxing of the Sloop Slaughter:
 |
| The box, I'll be keeping this one to hold the kits. |
 |
| My Kickstarter T-Shirt and a Thank You note. |
 |
| The American Gunboat, it only has one sheet of parts. |
 |
| Under that the instructions for the USS WASP |
 |
| USS WASP, part sheet A (I'm already in trouble) |
 |
| USS WASP, part sheet B (Serious Trouble) |
 |
USS WASP, Foam hull, Bundle of Sticks (Masts and Spars)
and Bag-O Guns. |
 |
| HMS Frolic, Instructions |
 |
| HMS Frolic, part sheet A (Perhaps a ship to many) |
 |
HMS Frolic, part sheet B (I have definitely lost my mind
thinking that two ships was a good idea) |
 |
HMS Frolic, Hull, Masts, Spars and Guns (Thank goodness for guns,
I know I can manage those).
|
Oh and they provided some sandpaper for both ships to shape the foam hulls! I'll work writing the post on the build for the American Gunboat before I go to New York later this week.
