Looks like very nice castings. What is the material?
Janos
Just wanted to thank Tom from CAF models for posting me an upgraded decal set, along with some better cannons and a few other bits and pieces.
This is exceptional after sales service and free of charge.

OMG that's brilliant regarding the sweep ports, I never even thought of that approach. On all three of my builds my sweep ports are square (somewhat) and roughly the same size (not really). this way they are truly the same size and perfectly square. OK so now I know how to approach it for the next build.
Hello Brian
My plans don't show the placement for the sweeps but I know of several instances when they were used in HMS Medea to escape the enemy.
If you have the time could you please let me know where they were placed in relation to the gun ports and how many there were?
A full length image of one side of your Enterprise would be great. I could calculate from that.
Is it the HMS Medea launched in 1778?
If yes, there is a drawing existing where the sweep ports are exactly shown
Scale: 1:48. A plan showing the framing profile (disposition) for 'Medea' (1778) and 'Crescent' (1779), both 28-gun Sixth Rate Frigates building at Bristol by Mr Hilhouse. Signed by John Williams [Surveyor of the Navy, 1765-1784].

You are amazing! I don't know how I missed this. I already have both those images in low resolution but didn't pick up those sweep ports in the print-outs.
I'm a long way from cutting them in the build but I need to consider everything at the beginning to get things right.
Hi gang,
summer holiday time down here has seen me back in my workshop and continuing with Enterprise.
Been working on cannons and deck fittings this week. I have installed anchor ropes and anchors.
cheers Brian.

Great work Brian. Love all the small details.

Hi Janos,
perhaps you are correct about the anchor rope size. I made them myself on my ropewalk machine.
Looks great Brian!
