Kevin your paint work looks so smooth and dust free please tell me its a trick of the light. DEREK
yes it's a trick of the light
but i have spent quite a lot of time trying to keep it tidy, but it starting to cause me problems, mainly with the black, the wale's and down to the waterline were done in Halfords spray matt black, when it comes to touch-ups i am finding the pots are very glossy, as you can see on the upper black areas.
i lost a few more tiles last night, i dropped one of the captains entrance sides into the hull, and it bounced (laughing at me) all the way down to the keel. it's a big hull for turning upside down getting the dam thing out.

Cat heads
As i continue working the stbd side, these were ok to build, but i either made a big fuss about nothing or they were just a pain to get the decorative strip under it, using the brass profile, it requires to be recessed into the upper wale, as well as running in all angles
Stbd side decorative strips
most of the brass profiles are now fitted between the upper gun ports,
channels/allready fitted with dead eyes
after repainting the ships side where necessary, i hope to have the stbd side fitted this weekend
Captains access access hatch -
stbd side ready to fit

Gil what colour did you use on the captains entrance canopy, i have used a light grey (intact grey primer) to simulate what i guess must be lead.
