Getting there nicely.

I'll look forward to the end result Denis 😁

She's come on well, considering she was destined for the bin!😋 Nice!

That my friend would be a WAAF, stands for Women's Auxiliary Air Force.... Your mossie dates this to '43-'44 correct? which means by the uniform she is wearing she is either a warrant officer or a flight officer. The skirt sets it off as an officer uniform. If she was an enlisted rank like a flight sergeant she would be wearing dungarees at the field...

 

So at the very least she is the driver for the officer, a section officer or assistant sec.off...... With the clipboard I would say assistant section officer, (rank equivalent to an acting pilot officer in the RAF) and she was driving the jeep......

EG how do you recall all the info? I read alot of history ref books but struggle to remember the facts I read.

Looks like the box says it's 40 3/4 inches, but maybe I'm reading it wrong. It's a big one.

WOW!! That's huge, that must include the bowsprit and the boom. No wonder Jack has got to rearrange to display it.

Did you have a good trip Craig?

Found you!!😉 promising start Jack, that hull must be about 2ft long!

Welcome to MSW, be interesting to watch this one, have fun and really hope you get it steaming!!

Welcome back to the non-plastic, non flying thingy Lou. 

I'll look forward to you coming back with the dioramas, but in the meantime enjoy church? with your USS Constellation, happy modelling.😀

It's coming on great OC, the decals make a big difference in the look. 

Looks great Phil, is the second planking similar to a self adhesive vinyl paper?

Will any multi purpose filler work as spackling in the UK is nearly £30 a tub?

Looks good, it's coming along nicely!

First planking looks good, deck is coming along nicely!😉

Looking good,  nothing wrong at all with slow and steady! Nice first planking 

Very nice, I really do like the Tiger,  they're a very workmanlike tank

Nearly missed it, I'm in!

Coming on Denis,  (oh less beans and cabbage should lessen the wind) 😉😋

Two steps forward and one back but you keep slogging on, good rescue work.

I'm with Lou on the hairdryer,  give it back to the Admiral or at least take the plug off🙄😋

😃the metal finish looks stunning EG. 

I think the lack of notifications is due to the changes being made.

Keep up the brilliant work (🙄pun intended)

I'm watching this one with great interest, it's  tempting me to try it for myself.

So I'm not the only one?😋

Here's a pic of the figurehead provided in the kit, I seriously have no idea what this is supposed to be. 

But if I where to put this on my vessel I should call it the hms Goldnugget. I will buy a replacement for that.   

 

Did the horse fall at the fence?😉😏

I think you're right to replace it.

I've just been catching up on your Renard.

She's looking sweet, your 1st planking is very neat 😁👍

It seems that you are getting there, isn't first planking fun😬, but it is all good practice for the final planking. 

All in all YOU are doing well.

Quick update to this, I'm about 3 quarters way through first planking (it's certainly not the neatest work but it will be covered) and then I've got to rebuild the bulwarks as I dropped the hull more than once🙄 and most of the bulkhead tops snapped off, but I'm confident I can get round it. 

Photos to come when 1st planking finished. 

Thanks for looking in and comments and likes. 

Cheers 👍😁

Those carronades are looking good Tom, lovely work!
