This is an awesome build Chris. Just so different to anything else on here. The attention to detail is first rate!

Hmmm. It’s bloody huge. Maybe it best to dismantle the lot and replan down by 5%. Consider where you are as practice?

Toby
On second thoughts. That’s wasteful.

Hi Christopher, she is looking really good...the portholes nice even and level, good job. Now will see how you paint...hope the weather holds. I hear British weather can be finicky.

Cheers,
Richard

Hello Richard firstly hope you are recovering from your op ok an thanks yea them portholes made me sweat a bit as if even if one is out of line by a bit it can really make the model look wrong but i think ive pulled it off ok (PHEW)

an yea ive still got all the hulls paint spryin to do again for about the 12th time an ive got to mask all the P/H's glass up again all about 70 odd but thats all the challanges i love on this model.But like you say the great british weather is a bugger as its all over the show an its nearly impossible to plan anything its a case of its got to be done on the spur of the moment thing as if i wait fora nice day it will be nxt yr proberly but cheers for you lookin in
