Your right mate I meen there are little things on the forecastle that you'd never notice

I think it is a balancing act, detailing on a large model, I mean large looks superb, however, folk, like us have a A: Not the funds. B: Not the space. C: Not the time. And finally D: A wife. That is why I think sometimes PE companies have found a place in the market for getting folk to splash out on items on a normal or mid size model that the basic kit would maybe get away with, or maybe I'm just having a moan...

Update
Finished the bridge section , I made a few mistakes but they are not really noticeable unless you know what your looking for

[eddiesolo]

That is one busy looking bridge section Alan, well done mate. This is slowly but surely coming together nicely.

Cheers Si , it's certainly taking it's time , I'm thinking of putting it at sea when it's finished , I have one OOB on a stand and I have just bought a work bench and a mitre square to make a frame

It should look good

That would look superb, maybe just tilt the ship slightly and dip the bow to give the impression of rolling seas, that is if you're doing a static fixed seascape or are you doing it so the the model can be moved?

I'm doing a static one Si about two inches space around the ship , I have to conserve space I was going to just have it sailing at full speed

Yes mate it's the easiest way to do it , I'm going to cut out a hull shape in the board just smaller than the actual hull so it sits lower in the silicon

That's what I did on the Clarrisa-Mae dio, sank her into some polystyrene.
