could be worse - although i dont know how - hope you had a good Christmas Denis -
And so it goes on - a decent airbrush now ordered, i dont suppose it would ever be used on a wooden build, for those in the know

i was aware that the Grill were not included - but the suggestions quoted in another site that i follow - they have stopped selling it , i have some netting (tule) that i am unable to use for the Victory build, and will most likely use this over the mesh already in place, might give it some sort of depth/ - even though the people that will see it when it is collecting dust on the shelf will say " why did you drill holes in the side - wont that make it sink"
-
Good evening everyone all holes drilled for the steps any mould lines that i can see have been sanded out Hull sanded down several times with 1500 wet and dry tonight i was playing around with the grill for the seawater inlets and outlets, the grill is over scale - but will support possibly some sort of netting over the top

Hello everyone, hope you all had a good holiday Before i go much further, i have a little confession, i had very recently seriously considered giving up modelling, for good - i am always looking to be better than i am, and the worse i seam to get, - i keep starting new projects and using it as a excuse to try something else, or i need to do this as practise to proceed with other jobs, i don't know who i am trying to fool But common sense prevails i enjoy the hobby immensely - just crap at it - i feel showing my work would make me better - i dont see any results, but will continue to do so so as part of my soul searching - i am going to attack the Bismarck, another way - (excuse the pun) and approach it different and see how it goes, it was a bad idea for me to start on the superstructure, the hull needs to be done first - and build up , so everything else has been put safe to one side all the portholes have been drill approx 100 of them using 1.5mm drill - all the sea water inlets and outlets have been opened up - the Atlantic bow is now in place as are the prop shafts
