 Hanging tables and benches awaiting installation.

 

 

Starboard tables and benches installed.

 

 

Coiled rope. I made these by coiling the rope into shape with my fingers and carefully applying CA as I slowly moved my fingers to the edges. I’m really happy with the result.

Detail of the ballast and barrels in the hold. Each individual pebble was placed and glued by hand with a pair of tweezers.

And finally, here are the glamour shots of the finished model. I admit I’m very happy with her.  It took 14 months and hundreds of hours to complete this tiny model; hours filled with research and scratch building. Everything I added was built to scale,  but I know all its little flaws, every inaccuracy,  and each omission (especially the inaccuracy of the deck framing!). I could have done so much more, but at 1/98^th scale I’m happy with the level of detail I put into it. It was a great learning experience.

FYI, for those who own the kit, I did buy a new base for it; the base supplied by the kit was far too small for such a top-heavy model.

Hi .

Now that's something

You have now set the standard for me to achieve on my kit.

A very interesting build with lots of mods and extra detail that you added to make this an exceptional model.

Thanks for sharing your build with us.

 

Regards Antony.

A beautiful and well-executed build and deserves every inch of the display case.  Your eye for detail and follow-through really paid off.

[Erebus and Terror]

Cheers for your kind words, Russ, Antony, and Mark.  I have a long way to go to match the quality of your builds, so your comments mean a great deal.
