Looks very good
Hallo @Alex RToday I finished (well, almost) my Caldercraft HMS Snake 1:64 that was on the building dock for years...This allowed my ongoing build of HMS Enterprise to move to a different location in my shop. It still needs a lot of work, but all structural work is done. The shop is now re-configured to start Le Coureur. Keel first, then frames, then build-jig. View attachment 207578View attachment 207582
Hello Alex,Thanks Tobias
Both Coureur and Alert don't have the level of detail and expertise that your build does. I am eager to finish both of them soon-next 2-3 months- so I can start on my next project, either HMS Granado, or the upcoming Dockyard 1:48 HMS Enterprise with full interior structure. Whichever comes next, I will try very hard to super-detail it. The knowledge I've gained from the members at SOS is invaluable. I am still a rank amateur, but a lot better than when I started out in 2019.
Best
Alex R
Thanks Tobias.Hello Alex,
I hope that in twenty years I will be as fit as you are today at 70. Your work is absolutely beautiful and remarkable.
YES ! Awesome car,. Manual ? I think my favorite Porsche was a 2017 Boxter Spyder Manual, silver, red interior...Sold it...still grieving...
Manual. This naturally aspirated boxer 6 will be the end of the run for internal combustion Caymans - going electric sometime in 2025 (already true for the European market). I was in the cue for nearly a year waiting for a GTS allocation. I live about two hours from Road America, but I need to run this car in first... so maybe next summer. I've been racing up there for a few decades in a hobby league (no race passing - only wave throughs). I also cried a bit when I sold my 2006 Cayman S, but this car cured that. What an incredible machine (rev-matches all by itself in sport and race modes). And the soundYES ! Awesome car,. Manual ?

We have a Taycan 4S, which drives like a dream, and a 2015 Macan Turbo, which is truly a superb car, but I really miss my Spyder... When the Admiral allows me, I would like to get either (low miles) a Cayman GTS like yours or a Boxter Spyder, manual.Manual.

My apologies for the diversion from your wonderful build report. But you said one of my favorite words...
