  10. Spend hours and hours and hours doing it and it looks like almost no progress in the pictures 🤪 The cranes are just placed in position
  11. Slowly slowly.making progress.u to the stage of making the main mast
  12. Superb work, I ordered a lot of Veteran flak guns, and now looking at your build I will get the bridge equipment too.. Thanks for taking the time to document it all for us 😁
  13. The deck level structure has its PE and a quick spray of grey so I can see any imperfections easier. The second and third level has 90% PE complete. The sections are not attached to the hull. I wont do that until they have had a final coat of grey ---and the dreaded black and white stripes applied. After all this work and yet not one single gun however small has yet to be done.
  14. Wood you believe it 😂 The rear wooden structure is ready for serious PE work
  15. A mile stone. Book one consisting off 114 pages with 620 instruction blocks completed..roll on book two
  16. Now the first true assembly -- let the gluing and stacking begin!!! 😲
  17. from a box to a hanger with lots of PE and just a tickle of plastic
  18. Really enjoying this part of the build doing the PE now that I have started to gain some experience is very rewarding.
  19. Thanks, Its so striking--just has to be done--
