    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...

    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.

    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.

    PS  My Wife is not happy with you!!!!   I showed her your build and suggested I did one similar for the dinning room --- But it would mean moving her shiny display stuff-- so that's a 'NO'  🤣
     
    Might I could fit a Sub on the long very narrow shelf...🤪
