I have been given this kit a few years ago and it has been sitting in my stash ever since. I dont build plastic models anymore and since i am moving the house i need to make space.
kit is unstarted, no parts bags opened all sealed. Opened to take a picture that is it.
will accept offers ranging around 45-50GBP
still goes for 65-70gbp on amazon and other outlets.
i will post free in UK, postage to abroad paid by the buyer, same as customs or any other fees.any questions just ask.
oh and there are no addditional enhancing packs coming with this, i never planned on building this beauty.

I think masters doing card models are exquisite and well done. Question is will card models hold up to the elements that wood provides?
well, probably best he has the model under the glass cover now. that is the reason why everyone covers theirs, to protect from environment

erm, you wont mate. sadly Dan passed away recently so there wont be any work done on any of his models.

Since the scale is so small i was looking for a good substitute for the sails that used to be sold as extra for this model. Obviously out of stock so had to look elsewhere…
behold, the new sail stock…
feels a little… vaxy but takes glue and pencil. Stiff enough to hold the shape. Easy enough to work with. As its paper, all holes had to be reinforced with superglue and drilled with 0.6mm drill to take thread.

Everyone, i am back
the kit was dormant for some time, mothballed for the times i am in the mood again.
i dusted her, cleaned som spider webs and looked up the instructions.
i think i am getting the hang of all this sailmaking and hanging the spars whatnot.
appologies for quality of light but its 8pm here and as its winter time its dark outside.

if that was corrugated cardboard, it certainly wont work in this case... the original construction pieces did not account for the extra thickness.

Everything in the box is in remarkable condition for its age. This kit is of a first edition as per the number on the box.
there is a small handfull of parts taken out of their frames. Box has got one corner damaged and a small piece of the damage on the top of the box from the tape.
The water transfer sheet is present and undamaged. Instructions and a warranty card present.
i dont have a slightest clue of what this is worth i just know how much i paid a week ago. As long as i get that (or equivalent in other means) i will be happy.

And finally had a minute to pull this giant of a box out and take a few snaps.

largest scale Shipyard does is so called SuperPlans edition. they did 3 models. I have one of those at home. Funny enough, it is also Enterprize. scale is 1/72. One could think your approach is even better. it will allow you to add details that on smaller scale are a bit too hard to do. At least for us, sub human. not everybody can be like DORIS, or when it comes to it, like you.
I would also reconsider leaving hatch covers opened. leaves a lot of empty room, that is calling for details, detail that you wont be able to fill anymore. decks are glued...
my hat off. you are showing some really nice progress. although, I don't think you will manage to finish this beauty in 5 months.

is this sort of framework also present on the real ship? in same configuration? if so, it would not be so hard to build this in semi-admiralty style with visible framework (at least the deck) and all the bells and whistles under the top decks...

Chuck, good step. i know how stupid people can get.
i would like to ask about tooling for your blocks? i was looking into making them. i am currently on the hunt for a nice proxxon mill, a kit to convert it to cnc mill and i would like to have a go at producing my own blocks. in one of your previous posts you mentioned some special mill bits that cost some around 750 dollars. would you share what they look like and where to get them from?
Thank you

Haha! I would, but there is another valid reason for doing all these now...
When the ships are being built, I can use these finished models, including the photo set, to save time. All I need to do is add the pics to the instructions and sit the boat straight on the deck/beam.
oi, thats cheating!!!

a little bit after the party finished...
without the doubt outstanding build. one little detail though.
direction of wind would prevent the flags to be in the position you have them on the model. your sails would suggest that these are under wind. if that is the case, flags should be positioned other way around.
please do not get offended, i simply am being nit-picking here...

Bob, thank you for the praise. I liked building this model, nice and simple. I substituted sails for the paper bag as i a)could not find the set i purchased
b)fabric is too thick for this scale.
c)i like the way it looks.
i will finish this model. Trouble is, i was forced to move household and do not have a dedicated modeling room anymore, heck i dont have a dinig table. No space!.
current stage is: all paper parts used. Currently hanging main sail, will make the yard and a sail for fore-mast. Finish the rigging and make some small enclosure. Almost done to be honest.
