Great work on the boats, they can be very crude sometimes (almost like kits are not interested in that detail) but you have have done some fine work on them. OC.

She is coming on good, work with second hull lanking has turned out nice and smooth, with the false deck - dont worry too much as long as its flat and you start wirh a plank down the center, you will not notice the gap. OC.

Hello everyone, so I was able to get the phone camera and took a couple of shots of the work to the forward section that I was working on, I have also added a small narrow strip along the inside rounded edge of the forecastle deck, this was annoying as the strip was so thin and brittle, it broke even after heat bending, anyway I managed to shape the two halves and glued them in place secured by a couple of pegs. Heres the pics. OC.

I did a bit more work on my deck fittings but decided to turn my attention to building two front (under forecastle deck) bulwark partition wood walls, I first found some scrap ply that had a smooth surface, then after making a rough template - I marked the incline of the two hull inside hull bulwarks. Next I cut the piece into two equlal sections (almost like mirror images of each other) then glued them to the underside lip of the forecstle deck piece, when the glue had set I made some wood trim pieces out of 1mm x 1mm and glued these inplace along the edges, then set it aside to set. I couldn't take any pics as the mobile phone was in use by the admiral. I couldn't have used my other dslr camera as thats currently up for sale. OC.
