Le Rochefort 1/36 - Build Log by Moreplovac

Just tuned in to your build. I went back to the first posts and happy that I did. The book was a new one for me and looks like it offers a lot of information for any scratch builder and tips from which kit builders could benefit.. Your work appears to be very precise and it is fun to watch your progress. Very lovely model.

Working on filling pieces.... first made a 15cm long stripe of wood and on its edge cut a groove 1x1mm, taking into account that filling pieces are not equal in hight, based on plan from plate #6. For example, this one has a groove on the bottom so I cut extra length..
