HMS Enterprize 1/96 by Modelship Dockyard

Great to see you go for it. The limber boards are a really nice added touch. Keep in mind they had to be short so they could be lifted by hand. 3 feet is the dimension I have found in the past. If easier maybe use a long piece and scribe lines to replicate two pieces up against each other.

Did a practice run, Isopropyl alcohol to break the surface tension once things are organized how you want them then a mixture of water and hogpoge matte

Dried very nicely. Installed the timber boards, took @AllanKP69 advice and made long boards and made them look individual. Did a mixture of medium as the base, threw a couple of large on top then mixed in the finest stuff at the end to fill in the rest.

I'm not going to go all the way to the bow, this should end right around where the next platform begins. It wasn't dry when I took these photos so you can still see the white of the glue, but that will dry clear and matte and will look nice.

That's far way better!! Great Job, mate!
 
So I missed on the plans where the elbows change direction and around beam 9. Luckily I didn't get very far before realizing the issue. 20241217_235243.jpg

The beam post isn't centered anymore since I installed that after everything was glued in place the wrong direction. Escaped with minimal damage to the different pieces but no way to correct that post without likely breaking it.

You can't really tell from above anyway, and that's all that really matters.
