I finished tidying up the Hull and even re painted the props, and have now moved onto the rear deck area, I started in the same way as the other deck areas by firstly sanding off slightly the raised plastic deck boards, to get a smooth flat surface for the wood deck to sit on, next will be to paint all the protrusions that stick through the deck when its down, next I will cut out these fittings on the wood laminate and tidy them up, before fixing the laminate wood deck down. Here is a picture showing the laminate wood section and the sections to be cut out. OC.

Have you tried going to the Pontos site looking for the update set for your build - then downloading it? I tried that with my Warspite and got two Big Large Adobe Reader Files that I can keep zooming in to massive levels to show where stuff goes and what it is numbered to coinside with the PE Frets. Give it a Try OC.

Massive MP cameras that can crop - in - in - in on a picture are not that great for our boat building, its bad enough scrutinizing our work under a magnifier, but to then zoom in even more is not good I dont think, its best photographing them at the same scale we view them in normal life. OC.

Been thinking the same about an airbrush, but our room dictates i hav eto build on the living room table, so I have to be as tidy and smell free as poss, hence why when i used a rattle can I had to do it outside-doors closed then put it away to dry for a bit till the smell went off. OC.

The plan for tomorrow - Finnish off touching up the Ap507B mid grey colour around the stern and the bow, that will finnish off the camo on the Port side. After letting this settle for a bit it will be the turn of the Starboard side - repeating what I have done but minus the repair work to the damaged section. OC.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
