Nice recovery Kevin. Yes, in a few months/years, it will all look the same.

I agree, that does look good, Kevin. It was fortunate that you were able to unhinge the rudder so that you could reach around the keel stem with that tape. Nice save.

good evening everyone

 

first of all apologies for this build log, my standards are not very high at the best of times, and circumstances have left this log looking quite sorry for itself,  i will try and get back up to how i used to present my builds, with regular updates, they used to be daily, 

 

anyway with that out of the way i would like to show the non believers that i can actually finish a build. and i present you with a completed HMS Indefatigable , but before the photo's a big thank you for @chris watton and @James H and for the followers, and contributors. 

more photos will be in the gallery

Incredible work Kevin. Congratulations. You must be well "fatigued" after such a build 🙂

 

Are you going to resume the building of the big gun?
