Badger is an exact scale model designed using original Admiralty plans. All fittings, masts and rigging have been researched
using contemporary sources and the most up to date reference material available.
Although the kit is as prefabricated as we can make it, basic woodworking skills are required. Estimated build time is between
4 & 6 months of evening work, so a work space will have to be put aside for the job. Do not remove parts from the CNC cut
sheets until actually required.
Carefully study the plans in conjunction with the instructions until you are confident to tackle each stage of construction.
Patience is the key word when building any model; treat each stage as a separate project and the overall effect of the completed
subject will be enhanced.

We highly recommend the use of Admiralty Paints; this is a new brand of paint which contains a specific range for 17th / 18th
/ 19th Century Man of War colours. This range of scale paints has been colour matched to the Admiralty colours, as still used
on HMS Victory in Portsmouth. Unlike other manufacturers, these are not toy paints and have been designed specifically for
use on model ships to give consistent coverage and colour.
Admiralty Paints are also available as high quality waterbased paints, if you prefer waterbased simply add W to the end of the
part number when ordering.
