HMS Terror by Greg Davis - OcCre - 1:75 scale

[Greg Davis]

I decided to add the bow filler blocks so that I could make a nicer transition from the sides to front of the hull. In particular, I don't think I could have come close to forming the concave dip that forms on the first bulkhead. Of course this means I've taken the tack that requires this buff bow to be planked!

More shaping, especially on the port side, and now very close to the profile dictated by the kit's bulkheads as I'm starting to sand off laser char most everywhere. Besides the midship bulge, there is a rough transition that needs attention near the third bulkhead from the back.

I found planking on the bow of my Terror wasn't that bad- that weird little bulge Occre created midships was a bit of fun though! I wish i had done like my Erebus and scratched new frames forward and aft of the midship section.

Yep that’s an issue, looks like Occre cut in too fast! Am I right that the whole hull seems short compared to Betts’ model?

Would be odd, since they copied his work.
