Now, the big guns and 12 pounders are finished. I won't bore you with the sequences, but like all piece work, it's just added bit by bit. I have also added strips under the anchor chain. Plus a few other old photos which are pretty cool.

No where near finished yet, railings, aerials with spreaders then more Davits and torpedo nets to go yet! The rigging is going to be complicated.

Yes, mask it, much smoother lines and thinner more consistent coating

Welcome back old boy! Most of the painting is done, but I did spend a good hour today searching for a prodigal lamb of a periscope that went into orbit, and my employer demanding that I put in an honest day's work. My youngest saw me searching the floor said; "you've lost something"
"Yes mate"
"I bet it's important"
"Yes mate, otherwise I would not be on my hands and knees looking for it"
As it eventuates, it was 6 inches away, not on the floor, and the hour I spent mentally preparing the email to Flyhawk begging a replacement was not wasted as the floor is very clean.

I had the same problem Greg do you think I could find the bollards and part of my spinner that just fell off somewhere, The carpet monster has a lot to answer to

You mean you polished the floor, whilst looking for the elusive pimpernel, I mean telescope. I like the way your youngest puts her finger on the sore spot, very observant

Oh you have to love those moments Greg i don't know how often I have lost a small part only to find it a couple of days later exactly in the area I had searched and searched.
It was a great trip and I enjoyed our catch-up.
cheers

Getting there.
Next, the Anchors. The original photo shows no running plates for the anchor chain, but the instructions do. So I didn't do it.
The Kit provides a basic bit of blurry plastic, Pontos provides some blackened chain and befitting my OCD I went with North Star, using their patterned chain as is correct, a little bit out of scale, 2 days of pain. Seriously, my forearms and hands feel like a really good session on the heavy bag. At least one complete line is somewhere in my study of individual pieces flying around. I eventually figured out a technique using jewelers pliers, tweezers and back crams that worked, allowing me to close the loops so the thing does not fall to bits. .
Next, the Capstans, just plonked on, fit and look OK.
Then the anchors again after market (the kit ones are rubbish) joined with a proper metal loop.
Next, threaded in and attached to the deck. I had earlier drilled out the holes. I am leaving one sitting at length as it makes sense to have it on the sea floor given there nets will be out.
Next the stoppers;
Finally, the dandyfunk of vents, hawser covers, brakes and extra equipment boxes.
Finally I'm at that impasse where I have to do the turrets and big guns that will go under the rigging and inside the rails.

The trickiest thing so far, the davits, with the canvas straps replaced, rigging attached and the smaller whalers.
