First round of sanding done
Followed by some paint to highlight where it's more filling
And more filler

[Jim R]

Rather you than me. The planking must have taken a lot of time but the sanding, filling, sanding, painting, sanding must take forever. Looking very good though.

WELL Peter if you had done a plywood wrap round would have been a lot easier
like i did on my ships

Tried that on my last one it didn't really work I think I have enough experience with planking to make this work as my last one needed at least four goes to get the Hull right but hopefully I have cracked it two goes

That’s a monster of a ship Peter, excellent work so far

[peterairfix]

Hull finished and painted it did put a coat of gloss varnish on first I will probably put another coat of paint on before another varnish.

[peterairfix]

Some more work done
Adding pe grills to the lower hull
Plastic inserts on the deck superstructure and building the hanger

[peterairfix]

I have now started on some of the many photo etch parts

[peterairfix]

found some time to do more been cladding all the superstructure and building the main mast

[Jim R]

Looking very good. Great detail provided by the PE.

Nice progress Peter, the etch looks good

[peterairfix]

Update time a mock up of all the major parts built so far all together but not glued.
