Le Coureur 1776, model 1:48 by Adi

Dear Heinrich, many, many thanks for your wishes. You will not see any solder joints on the rudder because the hinges are very cleanly machined brass castings that are included in the kit.
Wow - now that is neat!
 
After the nice colleagues here persuaded me to start my own log, I decided to do so. After I was impressed by the accuracy of fit of the parts from the beginning, I started to remove the char layer.
Another possibility to grind the stuff gently and carefully was to use an elastic silicone polisher from Proxxon. That really worked.
Of course Iwork on tricky areas, like you do with the needle file
