Two years ago I wrote a post about Jeff Knutsen's 1/300 scale 10 gun sloop which I thought ended up quite presentable. Today I finished another one. Only this one is 1/1200 scale! And it came out very nice! It fits in nicely with my metal 1/1200 fleets. Jeff says on his War Artisan website that this freebie is the USS Enterprise and I think that is what I will use it for, adding it to my growing AWI-1812 American fleet. This is also my very first try at the toilet paper sea base method. It is certainly easier and takes less time than my usual vinyl plaster method, but just seems a little flat to me. Maybe using more layers of TP would give it more depth? Let me know what you think!
