That does look a nightmare to paint, especially with a brush.

Hi Pete it won't be a walk in the park that's for sure but I try my best to do a good job.

Very nice build Pete. How you folks do P.E. (any P.E.) is a mystery to me. Thank goodness I don't use it!

You will have fun painting into all those nooks and crannies. I don't envy you one bit. I'm sure you will do a great model justice.....Then there's all that juicy rigging...... :anguished:

Chin up Pete, it's only a bit of plastic...... :thumb2:

Cheers Ron, I don't mind 1/35 photo etch but this about my limit, as for nooks & crannies I don't fit any I wondered what those bits were left in the box :thinking: the instructions don't show rigging so must of left port with out it :smiling5: .

Pete there is no need to apologise in my opinion I think you have built an painted a very nice model an i would be proud to have it sitting on my sideboard just have to move the white ensign as i think it should be flown from the foremast /mainmast or from the stern but brilliant model an nice to see another ship build very well done indeed sir
