Brian's 1/200 HMS Nelson Build

[Ian M]

It takes a man to admit that he had the watch when that happened. It was the 13th of June 1984.

Great job on the build so far. Remember though slowly, slowly catchy monkey.

If you are referring to the tall structure
on the left of the photo, then yes. Were they already open?! Had to cut mine out on the HOOD!

Really progressing well Brian. Once again I'm impressed with how neatly your PE work is. I am a fan of wooden decks, they make painting easier and , in my opinion, look good. The only downside is that they have a thickness to them around small deck details. Some don't like the uniform colour but that is easily dealt with.
Carry on the fine work Captain :thumb2:
