looking through these phot's i have spotted a mistake, i dropped number 3 radar setitng up for the photo shoot,and knocked off one of the PE parts, and quickly glued it back into position, -the wrong way around it would seam
-
work continues on the forward island, non of the platform level have been glued into position so may seam slightly squiffy, and it is all work in progress the reason for the black banding on the bridge is an error, i pained the inside, during which the front masking fell off, oh hum

is this just temporary whilst the build is taking place or permanent i would just put something onto the stand to protect the hull, like foam tape, towels are popular, as is the lagging used on pipework to prevent freezing
-
it is some lovely work, i have a copy of my work now in this format, very professional
-
come on my friend, you know the training never ends, we forever try to get better, but always more to learn, lovely work, and nice to see you back

Good evening everyone, amongst everything else going on within MSW and rl i managed to do some of my build the pe kit requires all the kit moulded items to be removed first, which takes some time, but achieved getting about 50 pieces on before my eyes said i have had enough, the portholes take the most time as they have to be f drilled out first.

Good evening everyone, just finished putting the PE onto the small hangers, as i have the hangers open, what colour would we find on the all the bulkheads inside of them, i would presume grey, No pictures, as that would spoil the flow of my build log, even though i am keeping a running build log (total hours) now = 54
