ID:	1257508 also added pe hatches,, need to think ( dangerous) what's next? Need to alter the wood deck for the top section and add railings etc. So add railings then primer and paint then wood deck??

        Never cut and removed stuff like this before! But actually enjoying it.

            You're doing a fine job. All that cutting stuff off and sticking PE on, looking very neat and tidy.

                  Hi Jim

                  Glad for all the practice, especially playing with many different glues! Found the glue looper very useful

                    Hi Richard, in another universe I called myself Bob the stug! Had a lot of stug kits, big library of stug books, but over the last yr sold the lot. So instead fleet of ships in the attic fleet and a library on battleships!

                    Thanks for the kind words

                              Coming from a modeller of such skills, that's greatly appreciated Paul. Will improve as my confidence increases. Well i hope so!
