Thanks for sharing, Uwe. Perhaps I will try this way of presentation also in the future.
HMS GRANADO - full hull - POF kit by CAF in 1:48 - by Uwe
Fantastic work Uwe,Many Many Thanks for all your positive feedback and all the likes received. - Great that you all felt with me - the step to make the cut was not easy, but I am very happy, that I have made it - it is a new way (for me) of representation of a model - completely new perspectives and views are now possible.
Here some more photos which I made directly after the cut, so no cleaning or whatsoever made - I show you these, so that somebody else who wants to make once such a cut knows, what he / she can expect.
The tools I used - for the first frame I used the smaller one, which was passing between two neighbouring frames - afterwards I used the wider one

The two parts are still fitting - off course, there is only 0,5mm in height missing

also bolts were cut

complete new perspective - the undersight of the deck structure with beams, carlings etc.

one of the next works will be the cleaning of the undersight, in order to remove rests of glue (especially under the carlings and ledges)

the stern (upper part)

the stern (upper part view from undersight) - btw on the right side you can see that one joint opened, but it will be easy to repair

The bow

with some sanding blocks as distancers - this will be appr. the height of final presentation

Good morning Uwek. Way above my pay grade. Brilliant. This is an amazing way to display a model and you owned the separation.

That is quite an accomplishment! There is some sanding in your future?

If you mean the square bolts please take a look at this post describing more in detail the "making of"

That looks really impressive. Now I can see why Maarten also loves the CLOU.

for example also used on the mortar base

HMS GRANADO (1742) - midship section - POF by CAF in 1:48 - by Uwe
The frames are prepared with all the visible nails now we have to make the riders for the mortar base. These heavy stiffeners were necessary to take over the weight of the shell room with mortar and also the extreme forces of the bomb during firing all together 5 riders are under the mortar -...

Many Thanks once more for all the interest in my project - great to have you "on board"
Some more impressions - I had to dry-install shortly the until now prepared interior to get an impression of how it will look like
first without the upper part of the hull
I am very happy with the result - There will be a lot of new possibilities to see the interior of such a model
Remember maybe my Le Coureur model, also built with complete interior, but barely visible - more or less not visible
Maybe I should build another Coureur and make a cut ?!?!
The next post wuill include once more work and progress and not only impressions .... so stay tuned (as I am)

It’s looking very nice, Uwe. With the cut a whole new “world / ship” (*) appears with a lot of possibilities.
(*)= choose the option you prefer

Wow. thats alot of work, I thought 2000 toothpick as trenals was bad!
Excellent work Uwe! Just a little wood fuzz on the frames at the cut line, but can be sanded smooth easily. This will be a nice display when done.

As beautiful and daring as this is, a staggered section would also have been very nice...
The Le Coureur presented with a vertical cut
I have no photo of the hull without the deck beams, but with the interior, but I think you get a good impression
It coul be really a very attractive model
But I promised last week some more progress on the model
The hanging knees are now installed - each "fixed" with 6 copper nail "bolts"
view from the top
and view from the other undersight
some close up photo
and the view, how they will be visible later on
Many Thanks for your interest - to be continued ......

Good afternoon Uwek. I don’t have the knowledge or expertise to give constructive comments, however I am in awe of your build , processes and presentation. I do hope one day I can build something like this. This is incredible work. Cheers Grant
Many Thanks Grant for the kind words - but I can write similar comments describing your work - very good rigging work on your model !!!
My cat Kitty also checked the works on the hnaging knees - unfortunately I got only a very short Miau
I am not sure, if this means good, ok, or please change it

Die Katze denkt: Bist du komplett bescheuert, das Schiff in zwei Hälften zu zerlegen, das wollte ich auch machen, wenn alles zu Ende ist. Du Spaßverderber.
In the last post you realized maybe, that I have also installed the missing part of the deck structure close to the stern
and I also closed the gap with the missing carlings
One side will be planked, outside and also inside - on the other side the structure, also from the stern will be visible
here you can see the hanging knees close to the stern - the upper part of the ship is laying here upside down
and now it is clear, why I was not able to install these knees before the big cut !
