I have found some time to do a bit more.


This time i will be putting together the crane's and as they are all made the same way I will only show the one, the top pic are the parts and the bottom is the completed one minus the paint and wire.


And a ruler to show how small the parts are.

 

[peterairfix]

I have got the cranes finished and in place.


And i am now starting on filling in with all the deck fittings\railings  and will be going from bow to stern.

WOW! I build 1/72s and I am running out of room. You must live somewhere pretty big. This will look brilliant when totally finished.

 

[peterairfix]

I am now up to the railings and have just spent the afternoon spraying every thing white and more white
