Liking your table covering Del and I think BattleshipBob has one like that too. Here's what we have - pic from my old kitchen table setup.....

It's a great cover, wipe down and very robust.

...and we're off!

Hi Del
They say the greatest journey starts with the first step.

..that didn't take long for a confusing bit! :

Instructions require me to remove these parts (and quite a few large areas of the deck)
Problem is they're clearly stairs?
The larger parts will require a proper cutter due to the amount and thickness so I've ordered a Dremel that I'll receive tonight.

So ...these stairs.

....in the meantime I've built the iceberg.

(Well, when I say built I meant froze)

[Mr Bowcat]

I'm following your build Del, I quite fancy building this kit at some point.

Are they to be removed and replaced with PE equivalents?

If so, I don’t envy you having to make the treads!

Hey Del... are you sure that's the same scale as the ship???

Looks a bit small to do too much damage... :smiling3:

Good point, well made (unlike my iceberg)

Thats what the captain on the real ship said.

[Del640]

Reluctantly removed a lot of decking this morning, I've left the stairs in as there is no reference to a replacement that I can see, I can and will remove them later if required though.

LED strip's placed into hull (once I managed to unstick them from my fingers/eyebrows etc...the STICKIEST adhesive I've ever come across....think flypaper)

Hull pre-painted so that Vallejo red hull paint was a tad pointless!!!

[Del640]

Hull placed onto the stand, don't know if this is taboo as such having not built a ship before but the destructions said stick it on the stand!
