UdoK reacted to Kevin in HMS Enterprise by Kevin - CAF - 1/48 - August 2020
Good evening everyone
Day 62 After 1/2 deck compartments finished
i decided not to rip it all out again, seams very pointless for something that wont be seen, otherwise, im never going to progress from here, yes the doors are to thick, and all different, lets see if i can improve when i move to the front, the lower deck beams now fit over the bulkheads, and thats made me happy
always happy to post on here things that are not as good as they should be,
getting rid of the white edges is next

UdoK reacted to Glenn-UK in Duchess of Kingston 1798 by glennard2523 - FINISHED - Vanguard Models - 1:64 - Royal Yacht by Glenn Shelton
At 10:37am this morning the door bell rang. Upon opening the front door there was a strange looking package, addressed to me, on the door step.
Imagine my surprise and delight, after opening the package to discover the following:
What a great delivery service and I will start work on the build very soon. My wife's only concern is that I will stop work on my Robert E Lee build. I put her mind at rest with my plan to spend the mornings working of the DOK build and the afternoon's working on the Robert E Lee build. Lets see how long that plan lasts!!!!!

Thanks Cpt. Hook, don't be afraid. After sanding a few frames you will have developed the right feeling for it.
Stern construction part I
Basically the stern construction is a complex task and requires a lot of thinking ahead, prior to glueing parts together.
I have started with the inner stern timber pack, parts 11-1 to 11-5.
Due to the parts thickness (slightly oversized) the pack doesn't fit into the respective notches in the transom pieces. After glueing together parts 2-4 I have reduced thickness of both of this packs equally to fit the notches.
The transom pieces 12, 13-1 and 13-2 are sanded and dryfitted in the jig together with the center timbers. The laser cut marks on the pieces ease sanding and bevelling the edges a lot.
Next task is to construct the side counter timbers in the correct angle.
More to follow...

Good evening everyone
thankyou for the likes and comments
Day 58 after 1/2 deck compartments
lol its the longest time that the after 1/2 deck has not been removed, and relocated to the rubbish bin, and whats more surprising, is the fact that i am now adding bits on top as the storage compartments come into play, i am of course jiggling bits around, as i am building the Enterprise, but only have References to the Pandora, so as a result some of the areas are not the correct size, but they hopefully wont look to stoooooooooooooopid

Frame treatment still in progress....
Although I was very careful with the frames it did happen.
The small vice dropped off the blocks and the clamped frame broke off, fortunately it was easy to fix.
To prevent this from happening again I have orderd the Proxxon FMZ vice, a much more safer way to clamp and work on the frames compared to my construction with blocks.
To have a break from sanding frames I have started to work on the complex stern construction.
All required parts have been located and cut off from the laser cut panels, ready for clean up.
Next is to understand the stern construction and figure out what is the best sequence to puzzle it together.
