HMS Enterprise 1774 POF 1:48.

[Peter Voogt]

Good morning. I’m going to have to increase my SOS time as there is plenty activity here at the moment- very cool.

We are baby sitting my “grand puppy” for a while while Ashtyn and Micheal are on holiday in Mozambique.

Not much to show you guys - more cannon trunnions and caps and tree nailing continues now I have my 0.5mm drill bits.

As always nothing is complete and all dry fitted. I just need to show you guys work is continuing.
Cheers Grant

Here we know ‘baby sitting’, but ‘puppy-sitting’ laying in bed ….. one if the two is looking very relaxed, Grant.
Oooo …. and the progress on the ship is looking very nice.
Regards, Peter

That's a great dog to see. And he already knows who to please.

I can tell you're going to have a hard time letting the kids have their puppy back Grant. You have a great set of close ups, the details show up crisp and clean, great job.

Grant, Everything looks exceptional. The delicate .5mm treenailing looks fantastic and who can resist a good puppy shot!

Keep the updates coming, as your build progresses!

Hi Grant, I seem to have sorted out the notification issue, this post arrived OK. To solve I "unfollowed" then went to your log and clicked "follow" again. That seems to have resaved the notifcation setting properly. I have done the same for all the builds I am following, so hopefully everything is reset now.

Dom, I unfollow/refollow all the logs I watch whenever a new post pops. If I don't, they somehow get dropped. Frustrating, especially if someone doesn't post for a while...then I usually lose their log, unless I search new posts.

I’m reading back a few pages this morning to “catch up”, which seems to be one of my common phrases lately . Always impressive and a lot of fun following your Enterprise build Grant.

Oh boy, you and your grand-pup strike a very cosy picture, Grant! I'm sure he/she doesn't mind at all spending some time with grandpa. The cannons look superb - I know I have said it before, but this ship just radiates warmth through the wood-finish you have selected. Stunning, my friend!

Good evening Heinrich. He is a terror. Thank you kindly Sir. Cheers Grant

Thank you very much indeed Brad.

Good evening Roger. Thank you kindly. I am really enjoying playing with this build. Been a lot of fun so far. Always good to hear from you. Cheers Grant

Great image - you both seem much too relaxed


Our son will be bringing our grand dog over as well. They live in Berkeley - he'll be away so we are the designated dog hotel.
The beach helps Porkchop get through his mornings

Cheers,

Hi Grant, allthough all your trips you are making quite some progress, she is becoming a beauty.

But PS "Went to Keukenhof Gardens (very Beautiful), cheese farm, canal cruise and did a few tourist activities-"
Aren't these all tourist activities???

Good morning John. It is the second time I see a South African flag as your location. That beach with Porkchop looks like Melkbosstrand as well. Are you secretly visiting . Cheer Grant

Good morning gentlemen.
Ricochet Rabbit has been very active with this build.

My original waterways just didn’t work for me. I must have “cocked up” somewhere. I also did not make a spirketling plank. This redo would be impossible now so I made “fake” waterway and spirketling.

I had to cut some more cherry from my “log” for the spirketling down to 1mm thin- this was entertaining . The scale is obviously out on the spirketling plank (too narrow by a mm) however it looks way better.

Half way through the port side.
I did scrape a shape into the waterway but this doesn’t come out in the photos. In this ultra close up we can see it :

Cheers Grant
