Hi Zoly,
no updates as I started another model of a Jutland style dreadnought battleship. I will start a build log soon.

Hello Brian, hello Jim
Thanks for the answer. I think it's a pity that the Enterprise does not go much further. I have a few more questions ... sorry ... I have followed your report with great excitement .. Can you still adjust a few pictures, or are the last pictures the last building condition? Are you planning to finish building someday?
Greetings and good luck with your new project Charlie

Brian if you put several coats of wood filler/sealer on the wood and get it sanded nice it will seal the wood and you wont get the paint bleed just an FYI for future
I might be late on this thread, but in reference to the decals I would do the following:
- Paint final colour (Blue) with several coats (sanding in between) and after dry do some preliminary weathering if needed.
- Apply two coats of the best/ finest gloss varnish- light sand in between.
- With a perfectly smooth surface I would apply Micro-Set to area where decals need to go.
- While the Micro-Set is still wet apply decals and 'roll' water/air bubbles out with a Q-Tip or cotton bud- working from the center to the edges.
- Brush on some Micro Sol to allow the decal to become ever so slightly pliable and mold around the shapes. This also gets rid of the 'silvering' effect around the decal borders and internal negative spaces.
- Then, once dry, apply one or two coats of fine Dull, Matte or Flat clear varnish.
- Once varnish is dry final weathering can be applied to help blend the look in to the rest of the model.
This has been a very thought provoking build which I have watched with interest.
I'm about to launch on a scratch build of HMS Medea (1778), an Enterprise class frigate so your kit build has given me plenty of clues. Well done.

I only registered in this forum in October. I didn't get this message in the first time,
No matter what you think of it, I will actively do a good job in product and after-sales

Just thought I would update my build log, as its been quite some time since I have posted here.
I have fitted some aftermarket deadeyes and chainplates.

I used a gold pen for the decorations on the side of the ship, but they look a bit average. I am going to paint over them and CAF model is sending me a new and improved decal set.
nice to see it progressing, looking good.
Good morning, Brain,
many thanks for the pictures and the construction report. Terrific! A pleasure to watch and follow each of the progresses and photographs. Great job !
Good to see an update Brian.Fabulous work mate and I do hope the new decals work out better than the previous ones.
Kind Regards
Nigel
