The hull is looking great, almost there I see, that is a lot of work at 1:24 scale.

Michael,

 

In fact, it looks better than the picture .Work is really a lot.1/24 scale is very demanding .

It's a shame, that you planked the hull on both sides. So nobody will see your really nice frameing job.

Wonderful build

Very nice hull planking, Paul. May I ask what kind of nails did you use and how did you blacken them?

 

 

I use steel nails. I use to oxidative browning to the blackening of weapons.
