    Just caught up again Brian, this is one hell of a build, outstanding work on the PE and overall build. Should be a stunning build when completed.

      As for weathering, ideally you will give the model a satin or gloss coat of clear, if you use acrylic then better off using oils or enamel washes, enamel clearcoat then acrylic washes, i would suggest checking utube videos to get an idea,

            Fantastic etch stud as always Brian. As to weathering, I would limit it to a few streaks on the hull sides, it’s not as if she spent months at sea is it…..
            She would look great from a drybrush with lighter grey and then a pin wash with darker grey to bring out the texture, but with all that etch work she is probably a bit fragile for that approach…..

              Great job Brian. I would be a very happy bunny if I had just half of the confidence you have in dealing with PE and CA.

                      Guns finally done but I left some very small stuff off I'm not happy with myself but it just wasn't worth the grief they were literally difficult to see.

                              Brian, you had me check on the dictionary the meaning of "Untidy" as I could find nothing matching my English language knowledge and what your picture is showing to my eyes. :smiling4: :tongue-out3:.
                              Beware of the untidy bench bunch reactions: the "Untidiness" flows strong on this forum. :smiling5:.
                              About the model: WOW!
