At scale 1/72, it was impossible to saw so thin holes, and and I have no time, no patience and no tools to do that with wood scissors 😡
-
Is it the red squarred object ? In that case, there is no hole, it's a false draw glued on the wooden piece...
-
Hi Bill, No hole for me, could you indicate the detail you mean ? Regards, Chris

Left rail's rear medal (not glued) :

Hi Bill, Thanks for your comment My secret (what a great word... 😀) is the choice of significative details, and for that, I use a "general mental picture" of finished model It's not a possible process for a first model, this one is my 6th, so, before this ship, have I learned more alone than in modelism manuals Regards, Chris

Finition of upper rail's :

Hi, Bill, I've rectified some errors of the hull below the waterline, red colored on my illustration The monograph's hull doesn't run correctly, as seems to me, I ignore the reason of that I don't know details of Heller's realization, but the monograph is more probably wrong, and I redraw some rear elements in order to fix this problem, I did'nt like the heavy hull : I also suppressed two gun-ports of the back-stern, the four guns were impossible to use (no much place) Regards Chris
-
Thanks, Bill It's like a "sister-ship" of the SR, only real difference is the simplified decoration, with few complicated elements, and the suppression of one upper quarter-deck Lemineur has also applicated a 10% longer general proportion, and I think that's the disposition making the vessel more "elegant" 😀 Regards, Chris
