Hi Mark

What a lovely build, unusual subject, but built and painted very well!

A ?? I assume you have brush painted most of the deck fittings?

Thanks Bob, yeah is unusual just fancied not painting grey for a bit lol. The only thing ive brush painted so far is the silver on the winch pulleys. And a bit of weathering.

A little bit more progress,a few decals gone on and started adding some bits on the rear deck. One of the helicopters has a pe upgrade which will look a bit better than clear plastic with decals.

Hi all, bit more progress, hull decals have been applied along with some weathering,being an icebreaker it seemed reasonable to give it some rusty scrapes. Ive toned dow the heli deck as it was to black and new looking,still some decals to add there also, and just a pic for size comparison.

I was impressed when I saw the weathering on the hull. Then I became impressively impressed when I saw the scale of what your building. That 17ml bottle certainly puts it into perspective.

Wow that's smaller than first thought even more impressive, and some great weathering .......:smiling3: my wife couldn't get over how small it was, that's the ship that is :tears-of-joy:

[boatman]

Thanks for the comments guys :smiling3:

Derrick booms now fitted to the front crane,need some weathering.
Also the tripod mast after a foot/floor incident resulting in total destruction of all three legs have been replaced with brass rod,will need another coat of paint yet. Somehow the etch parts on top all survived, a bit of straightening out was required.

[Mark1]

A little bit more progress, two masts fitted as well as the davits. Never made a base before and im sure there is easier than a floaty one to start with but im gonna have a go and made a start with it,obviously a ton of work still to do but hopefully itll work and not end up in the bin. Plane done just the prop to go on.
