Looking forward to seeing what you do with this. I bought a card HMS Belfast last year but I cannot find it! No idea where I put it but it will turn up I hope. Just worried it got thrown out with some old magazines but I don't think it did.
Good luck with the build and millions of pictures please

right first update of the build. as requested have taken lots of photos if I am putting to many on please let me know
picture is the first page cut out ready for gluing. of all the knives I have I found the safety razor blade the easiest to control for the cutting. as for gluing the thin lines I used a old oil bottle from my e-vapour oils works quite well.Comment

next glued together the base and main spine of the ship togetherComment
-
then inserted the cross sections had to make small cuts so it sat correctly.Comment
-
next was the lower part of the deck bit fiddly as you had to get the spine and cross sections to in the cuts made (starting to look like a ship)

next part will sit on top on the deck. not yet stuck it but took a photo as well on the name plates for the ship. hope you like it so far more posts coming soonComment

Looking great,
I started building a Virginia 1819 Artesania Latina - Scale 1:41 last year and got a bit stuck on planking, instructions are not great.
Building these models take real skill that looks like you have, hope to pick it up again when I have the space.Comment
