Seeing how splendidly your planking turned out, I'm doubly upset that I didn't think to substitute better materials when I planked Conny.  Next time for sure! 😁

Thanks Loracs! Yeah you need to be careful with those, but with vertical drill stand it's a lot easier to be honest  

 

 

 

Well thank you! I really enjoy your work with the USS Constitution, really nice build!  

 

And ofcourse everyone else that liked the post, thank you very much! 

Hi, Ronald! Your work is an example for me of how important it is to be meticulous in the details. I have little experience, and I'm learning a lot as I build my model. Thank you for providing a detailed description of your work. The result is impressive! Good luck to you!

Thank you Freecap! 🙏

Your work is superb, the attention to detail underscores your desire to create a work of art. I couldn't help but notice your use of the Sakura pen to mark tiny holes; I use my set in the same way, couldn't model without them!

Thanks for your very kind words Ron! Yes the Sakura pens are really nice. I always used them for artwork on paper, drawing mandala's etc, but they are also great for modeling

just a quick adjustment

Not accepting a .5-1mm variance, taking the time to do it over, is the sign of an exceptional modeler. Well done!
