Erebus and Terror Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share #31 Posted May 1, 2013 (edited) 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. Coiled rope installed (note the spare table and benches on the deck above).

Erebus and Terror Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share #32 Posted May 1, 2013 Detail of the ballast and barrels in the hold. Each individual pebble was placed and glued by hand with a pair of tweezers. A pile of spare planking. Spare planking and spare deadeyes neatly piled on deck. I had a new name plate made; the original plate provided with the kit is on the left. Name plate installed.

Erebus and Terror Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share #33 Posted May 1, 2013 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 1/98th scale I’m happy with the level of detail I put into it. It was a great learning experience.

Erebus and Terror Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share #34 Posted May 1, 2013 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. Quote Building Terror Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
