We will have to sing some Sea Shanties while we are waiting - who's gonna start? OC.

That is some complex work going on there mate, I think the additon of lower constructions and how you fit them - is down to how you feel about the level of difficulty - some times we can battle against the impossible. Just do what you feel ok with. OC.

I was going to say a similar things - each stage you move through - the more impressive it becomes - changing from a model into a scale scene. OC.

Thank you kindly for looking in Lou it really doesn't matter that you are not commenting on every word I write, your interest above is enough mate. Yep reinacting is something I have so wanted to do - but lifestyle makes it just a lounge chair interest, my interest in the English Civil War from the 1600's even includes my late Grans cottage that dated from that period and had Royalist troops in the house (there was an inscription carved into one of the Oak beams in the cottage) my father used to talk to me about it. I know Waterloo is different - but again it re-lites my passion for toy soldiers from being a kid with all those Airfix OO scale Waterloo sets, just now slightly larger (not mutch) and a bit more patience from getting older (just a bit) OC.

Yep - they are decals on my Chinook panel looks Ok with a few coats of clear over the top. OC.

Hey! thats looking impressive - love that deck mate. OC.

Tell you what I have seen some do with the instruments/dials - drill them out and use a paper template drawn or painted and a piece of clear perspex to simulate dials - or the raised details molded on being hand painted vs pe ones that are pre-painted, preaty much varied what you can do. OC.

Looking good mate. OC.

Thank you Denis, still needs dulling down with my spray a bit - like I did the rest, but need to wait for a dry spell - its been way to wet last few days. OC.
