i will most likely return the Bosch, it has not met my expectations, i never expected any play in the head, made worse by the loose hex shank mini chuck in the attachment holder, -
just put the build to bed for tonight, but got a slightly better photo of her with full hull lighting

good afternoon, im not sure i will mess to much with the windows, but im not 100 sure what is involved, i will enclose the after well deck, and purchase the 5 crane sets from Shapeways, i may even splash out for the stern plate set, or attempt my own, other than that i could spend at least £1000 on upgrade sets which in all honesty will never been seen, the world needs vessels that are 100% correct, i personally dont know anyone who will ever see this build when complete (aprt from the wife) oh and me boi, but his social media friends are the same as mine here he is telling me what to say to @chris watton

good evening everyone than you for comments and likes day 5 port side port holes done, another couple hudred left to do, trying to sort internal hull lighting really pleased with myself completing the 0.6mm port holes, then i went and sanded the hull internally to get rid of the swarf, and it filled a lot of them in again, oh hum internal of the hull has been primed in a Halfords yellow primer, made a frame for the internal leds attached to the bulkhead frames, but once the decks either end are in place i wont be able to remove it, so i may adapt it to 3 sections and actually secure the fwd and after sections with a removable midships sections, another 2 strips at least are required as well the light gap between the top superstructure and the hull is caused by a few locating lugs, the internal bulkheads which are not part of the kit cause it to sit to high, not any more as i cut them off hull primed wooden frame attached to the internal bulkheads, allows it to be removeable for now this light gap has now been eliminated, locating lugs were being hampered by the internal bulkheads this with just two strips, another two planned

good evening everyone thank you for comments and likes Day 4 Portholes, clearing raised detal prior to photoetch thought the portholes would have been finished by now, but i have now run oput of .7mm drill bits spent yesterday clearing the raised detail on all deck parts and filling in where stated in the KAMK1 instructions this evening just place the hull parts on top to see the effect hull work will not leap forward as my books of reference are in the post, with a mail strike new drill much easier than what i was using

good evening everyone day 1 hull - portholes i dont quite know how many portholes there are, but they seam to be taking a while to do. i was originally going to do them by pin vice, my hands were never going to manage that, so the electric variable speed power drill came into use, the pin vice was put into the chuck for the very small size drill bits i may have undersized the holes by using 0.6, 1mm, 1.5 and 2mm i placed a white led in the hull to see what effect im going to get and quite happy with the result although not ready for this the kit i purchased from a friend also had a set of internal bulkheads to keep the shape right made the stand up, wrong name of course
