HMS Enterprize 1774 Scale Scale 1/160 Midships Cross Section

[GIG1810]

Good morning Gunther. Coming along nicely. Have you tried using a scraper rather than sanding all the way? I find the scraper brings out the wood colour and grain (if any) much nicer. This looks like a really cool build. Cheers Grant

Hello Grant,

Thank you for the tip about the scraper. But what exactly is it and what does it look like? If you have a picture of it, I would be very pleased ...

Well, you have survived up to this point! The future looks promising!

Hey Paul,
Thank you very much. I hope the future continues like this. But it's really tough to build on this scale. I'll continue to do my best!

Thanks for showing all the in between steps of the placement off the spacers, Günther. It looking nice.
Regards, Peter

Hey Peter,

You're very welcome. I'll try to include more pictures so that you can understand what I'm writing. I hope that's okay. This model in 1/160 is really something special. It has a lot of little pitfalls. Most of them are really tiny and you really have to be as careful as with a virgin ... In other words, you really have to dose the forces ... Unfortunately, I don't always succeed and when it doesn't work out, it's really annoying. The instructions are really questionable in some places, especially when parts are described incorrectly. This happened to me with the keel support for the cutter. So always be careful.

But: I'm pretty sure that when the HMS Enterprise is finished, it will be really beautiful ...
