Thanks Yves!I am liking her to it's going to be a clean build but she sure looks like a lady ready for the show.I got all the AA's on the rear deck,painted the hose reels the same color as the hull and have started clearing the wood base.The time I spent on the other side of the shop doing the base I planed down some more 5/4 red oak to 1" getting ready to build the back of a new modeling cabinet.Pics tomorrow night I hope.

It's a very small update on the build (lots of work) I have been working on the P/E of the planes and the launches time comsuming but believe it will be beneficial in the long run little things.The P/E company supplied templates so as to get the launches set up correctly in there cradles and planes came with the cables for floats and props which I twisted in the appropriate direction for some pitch.Thks for all the likes fellas and interest!

The Tamy and Hase kits are some of the best Nice start by the way. Kevin -
The works of the last couple of days the white marks on the deck are were I filled with sprue to put after market PE ladders instead.The back side of the plane platform you can just see a brass ladder poking it's way through. Kevin

Mike like to give you a definitive answer but it's a home brew I had a little left of Matt70 Humbrol and started adding a Red Humbrol till I got to the point I was satisfied.The color that Hase recommends is a Tamy color a little more brown than mine and in the right lighting that brown does peek a little more in my mixture.Well I got the catapult built out of the PE and good thing they gave me two carts for I destroyed one so it goes Kevin

I would say that I starting to approach the 50% mark on this one nothing on the deck is glued yet except small pieces.I opted to go for the plastic hanger since I folded the brass hanger deck one time opened it back went to go glue it shut and it broke!after one fold?I tried to align the folded pieces but it was off after the glue dried.I said nope and to boot the anti-skid pattern on the brass looked out of scale of what of been a persons foot the plastic is much more subtle.I am going to incorporate some other pieces hopefully if all goes well from the brass hanger kit.She's looking the part............

I continue to move forward on this one I try to put in some work everyday(like cdrusn89) 1-3hrs for short days and 5-8 on my days off if life permits tonight two hrs.I painted the turrets,funnel,searchlight station and all the small bits on the foredeck.I have a question though the hose reels for fire control what color is the hoses?I seen on one build they were red and it be some color to the build but would like accuracy in this case.Thks Kevin A couple of different lightings

I got to the range finder.I started on the 6" guns and I found it handy to cut the barrel short(leave some) and start the the center with #11 and go to the drill bit.This allows for a restart if you drift which I did on one and I was able to do a restart and correct.Pics..... Kevin and yes I fix that guns barrels before the glue set
-
The bridge PE is just about to come to a close tomorrow another rail and a couple of doors(open) to be added.I will then work my way up the SS to the range finder which I should get that handled tomorrow easy if I don't hit the range.Some Pics........... PS: added some ladders from Infini and the doors are from them also I will add tomorrow.

That's all part of the curve Kevin trust me I was not happy with the Wash on my last build but enjoyed the rigging for the most part.So,on the new build I am trying a different products for the wash.I like to do wood work and sometimes I do a piece three times but at the end of the day every piece of work I do has a "Persian Rug Flaw" everyone and I may be the only one who knows it but it's there.Solder on you will get better Kevin

My PE railing from Eduard came in earlier this week so I started painting and adding to the SS/bridge.
