New kit 1:160 midship cross-section of the HMS Enterprise 1774

[Unicorn models]

Hi guys, this is Unicorn Model and I bring you a new kit, a 1:160 midship cross-section model of the HMS Enterprise frigate designed by my colleagues. Perhaps some of you have already seen the stern cross-section of the Enterprise, which has a longer and more complex midship section compared to stern, and also carries three boats. Although it is miniature size, its details are remarkably rich, including every deck structure and cabins, as well as extremely tiny metal parts such as guns, hammock cranes, ladder stanchions, etc., there are many jigs in the kit, which are convenient for the making and fitting of small parts, but you must be very careful, because the parts are very weak and easy to break, This is a work that challenges one's own hands.

Look great for a small kit!

Will there be a Pear Version?

It will have a pear wood version and a boxwood version, and in the pictures it is boxwood

 

[Dubz Modelling World]

Super, I just prefer pear

This is beautiful!

Does it pick up where the stern section stops? Will there be CNC detail panels to match the stern section's? Finally, is there a bow section planned? It would be great to have all three!

Good morning folks,

That really looks very nice. I think the build is beautiful and I had never seen such precision in 1/160. Great cut parts, so excited to see the price. I hope it's not that expensive.

Best regards

Günther

Congrats to Unicorn for coming out with a very small scale model that looks to be very nicely designed. Now none of us has an excuse that we don't have enough room to display a model

Wow, that looks so beautiful. I'm excited to see it! My expectations for the construction are very high, hopefully it will live up to its promise.
