Evening all, I managed a couple of hours on this today, starting on the bow I fitted the Two raised sections over each anchor howser, they still need painting - the glue residue will vanish when I flat coat the whole thing at the end, I am also starting to populate the deck - capstans, mushroom vents etc etc - plenty more to fit yet, paintwork needs a bit of a touch up but that will be done when all the parts are fitted. OC.

Hi Alan, I used a Earth Shade Acrylic wash over it - just brushed over - I use it on my figures etc. OC.

Thank you kindly Kevin, I had a few issues with the decking but got there in the end (I hope). OC.

Afternoon all, so with the couple of areas where the deck vaneer had lifted, I got the front water break and while holding in place I marked the front edge, then moved it out the way - then I cut carefuly along the one pencil line, I was then able to put some more glue under both edges and pressed both down, I was also able to lift the rear section close to the rear bulkhead and put some more glue under and push it back in place. I also touched up the barbetts - so this is the current situation, the rear deck has been weathered more than the other decks as it used to get very wet very often. OC.

Very nicely done. OC.

Had a thought about what might help the lifting wood decking - checking my details for the kit, the front water break sits right where its lifting - so it got me thinking I could offer up the water break on the deck mark a line then cut a line, I should then be able to lift this section (forward of the water break) and add some more glue under neath and fix it back down. It was odd that the front piece was in a whole section and not seperate pieces in front and behind the water break (it would have been easier then). OC.
