HMS Enterprise 1774 POF 1:48.

Heinrich · Monday at 8:18 AM

This is excellent work, my friend. The Melkbosstrand shipyard is playing host to a superb build - I greatly admire the interior bulkhead with the real glass windows while the cannons look extremely authentic.

Breaking those tiny carbide drill bits, it seems I have standing order with my supplier,

Good evening my fellow “Melkbosstrander” from the other side of the world. Thanks for the encouragement Heinrich. I have been finding this build an enjoyable challenge and have struggled on regular occasions. At this stage I’m feeling pretty good that I will achieve a reasonable representation of a 1774 British frigate……Most fun of all my builds so far.
Cheers Grant

Good evening Roland. I glad I’m not alone in destroying multiple bits…..I have bought some more expensive ones so let’s see if they last longer

. Cheers Grant

GrantTyler, the difference between cheap and expensive drills are the sound they make when they break off. Cheap: cling, expensive: cha-ching

Good morning everyone.

You guys are still getting the messy however I do need to show I am playing with my frigate.

More ships measles added, both the treenails and iron nails:

When I’m tired of nails I switch to some other work.
Cannons:

A little more work on the Hawes holes :

Added the vertical supports for the breast hooks by the Hawes holes :

And taking my “grandchild “ for a run.

Cheers Grant

Taking the time to make and install the cants between the breast hook and bolster is impressive. Nicely done.

A steady pace with the treenails and iron nails, Grant. Some distraction from time to time is always good. For sure with that Black Flying Jumper.
Regards, Peter

Been a while since I looked in on you Grant. Youve got this POF building down to a science now and she's looking beautiful! Congratulations to your son on his marriage and wow, where did you get that flying dog? It needs a cape!

Around here we call that little dog coyote bait...

You work is always impressive, Grant. It's a joy to follow along.

we call them that here too. That's why mine is always on a leash. I wish I could let her run some.
