  All the plans for this project are available as a free download at www.drydockmodeler.com

 A Plank on Bulkhead ship modeling project for the first time scratch builder.  The Cheerful project is available in Alaskan Yellow Cedar or Boxwood.  You can buy the Starter package which contains all of the bulkheads, keel parts and framework. Then you can choose to scratch build the rest of the project or buy the laser cut mini kits provided for the other various fittings.  Its up to you.  This is not a typical kit where all of the parts come in one box.  You only have to buy what you want to and scratch build everything else. 

 The plans (1/4" scale) and accessories are available along with a monograph on how to build it.  The monograph is available here as a download for free.  A printed monograph is not available in order to try and keep costs for the project at a minimum.  Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.  As mentioned the full set of plans for the Cheerful are available as a free download at DryDockModeler.com so no printed plans come with the starter package.  You will need to download them exclusively on the forum.  You can sign up for free and unlock the the free download after only 25 posts on the forum.  There are so many other plans and 3D printable STL available on Dry Dock Modeler as well.  So don't wait, sign up there today and enjoy the community.
