If you haven't seen it. here's a link to mine. There may be some helpful tips! https://shipsofscale.com/sosforums/threads/17th-century-battle-station-hms-mordaunt-1-32-docblake.2181/ Oh My! That really is a superb piece of work and shows how jigging and aligning is so important. My effort is less than true, though I am still pleased with my progress. It's a perfect first build for me as there are lots of different 'jobs' to complete on her. Thank you for the link. | ||
