Thanks Rick....

Allen, you are quite right, the Mem Sahib will just have to carry on with her other daily chores - for a short time anyway...

It certainly will be interesting to see where this build is going, 'cos at the minute, I sure don't! :upside:

Recent progress.
I've stuck the top bit onto the bottom bit.













My initial intention was to drill out the windows and 'Glaze' them. I thought better of it and just painted them.



Cheers.

I've stuck the top bit onto the bottom bit.

For those not up on all the technical terminology that goes with ship building I think Ron means the bit in the water is now joined to the bit not in the water

IN other words Jim 570 has stuck the main deck onto the hull lol:rolling:

Thanks for clarifying what goes where in the correct terms chaps.:blow-kiss-2:

I've finished the vessel. Nice kit with loads of diddy detail to stick on. Some I couldn't even see. others I could just about. Some I stuck on, some I binned!

I won't bore you just which is P.E., but suffice to write I used most of it. Only one major piece beat me, this I screwed up in a ball and threw it away in disgust. I substituted it for some plastic. (Our secret Dave )

Despite the above, I still, in a perverse way, enjoyed the build. I was not going to let a bit of plastic and brass get the better of me.........

Anyhoo, here's the model.

Loose dust particles are an optional extra!



























Thanks to those who posted encouraging comments - I needed them all!

Cheers.
