Looking good. I like Wood Hunter decks, they're very thin and normally go on nicely and do not bubble, like the thicker decks

Thanks guy's. I've never used the wooden decking stuff before but they do make a difference, and I didn't find it hard to fit. The most time consuming part is taking all the parts out were the hatches and things go. And they hide the deck joints very nicely.
Just a quick question. Would you clear coat or varnish the decking ? or is there something different you need to do ?
I know that's two questions.

I normally just leave them as is

Thanks Graham.

That is a very nice upgrade to your model and well worth the extra "pennies". Makes the decks look so much better.

I've been slowly, and I mean slowly putting this together, I just can't get motivated to do any modeling lately.

[Guest]

At least it's coming along nicely Ian.

That looks very nice indeed.

I know what you mean about motivation though. I seem to do most of my model making in my head at the moment - planning out what i am going to do but never quite getting around to it.

Work and caring responsibilities are my obstacles with work being the major one. We are going through a major re-org at the moment that is just a nightmare in terms of additional work.

I am working on a Deagostini USS constitution at the moment and last sunday was the first time in ages i put in any time on that.

I am sure your motivation will soon return. A good kick start might be to put the tv on because once you have trawled through the rubbish on there you'll soon return to something more interesting.

That looks very nice indeed. I understand the way you feel, I really had to get it together to complete the Hood.
