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 😁 -
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.

A mile stone. Book one consisting off 114 pages with 620 instruction blocks completed..roll on book two

Really enjoying this part of the build doing the PE now that I have started to gain some experience is very rewarding.

What a fab ship , can't wait to see those props turning 😎
-
ooooooooooooooooo doing that would frighten me to death 😱

Sprayed the Funnels stripes and started to add the details... Or as my wife said' oh that's nice you painted the chimney ' 😁

Thanks Yves A bit of a pain but I think will really stand out once completed, this is my first 'non wooden' Napoleonic ship I have attempted. I saw a few being done on here and just goat the bug LOl . I spray the stipes and then do the P.E parts which are easy to hand paint in.. It would be a nightmare to mask off even with a small amount of detail in place, Next is to stripe the funnel-- then detail it...

Hi Harry been slowly making progress... Work and Family holidays getting in the way LOL Everything is just placed together so some bits may look wonky LOL
-
first upper deck stripe done. I wont fix the funnel cap until after its its stripes -Thought Id better the ground work adding the stripes in before it gets too cluttered with PE to mask nicely.
-
in all the rush to show it I placed it the wrong way around lol--- all the deck sections and funnel are not glued. I wont do that until they are all painted,
-
quite pleased with the result-- just a bit of paint and placed on the funnel to see how it looks

Not posted for a short while. I have been slowly plugging away at the main decks and bridges. Once all the PE is on a section I gave it a light grey spray to show up any bad joints or wobbly parts-- far easier to see. The three decks are not glued together.
