Fantastic work!!

Finally completed the Hedgehog, just need to tidy up the yellow bands.
Pudgy fingers and dodgy eyes means leave for another day.

Trial fit of the 4pdr tub, and looking at the photo realised I had placed it back to front.
So glad it wasn't glued down, as no doubt someone else would have pointed it out.
I have had to make some adjustments to it's position, as it is mounted on part of the deck that is removable.
It's actually a little to the rear of the place it should be.

Well just looking in on this build and it showed the weathering and i thought "oh my", then scrolled down and seen the photo etch and thought "Oh My God". Looking fantastic Gregg mate.

Have fun, John

First layer of hull weathering done, still away to go yet.
For the persons that told me the captain would never allow his vessel to get into this condition, check out the last photo![ATTACH]291031[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]291032[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]291033[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]291034[/ATTACH]

Looking good Gregg.
The Corvettes where pretty hard pressed and as long as they could float, run and shoot, the galley clean and the tea hot, a bit of rust could be dealt with later, lol.

Nothing of note really this week[ATTACH]291208[/ATTACH], just experimenting with some beads and twine, to make a couple of floater nets.

A little progress over the holiday period.
Rigging started, davit falls and depth charge hoists done.

That looks real, very impressive.

Brimming with detail. A lot of time and effort has gone into this! Brilliant:thumb2:

Final photo's before she went to a new owner.

Gregg, an absolutely stunning model, and photos to match. Puts my 1/144 effort to shame!

Great to see the Corvette in her true environment too.

Must have been sad to see her sail away. I'd be gutted.

Thanks for the positive comments they're greatly appreciated.
I had to move on a few of my builds, as living in a small apartment there isn't room to store and I'm still wanting to build.
I have few projects on the go and space is one thing unfortunately I don't have. I must admit I probably like the construction side of things more than the using.
I tend to have a few builds on the go at any one time as I often get frustrated, so move from one to the other projects.

Outstanding
