HMS Vanguard 1787 1:72 a Victory Models kit

Making progress with the ship boats and building the mast tops.

The boats are challenging projects as the smaller size accentuates any imperfections.

Creating the rounded edges of the 3x3 bolsters on the tops required me to use my MF70 with a router bit. I am happy with the result but couldn’t think of any other way to achieve the same result by hand. I would be interested to know if anyone has any suggestions or experience to do the same.
