Nowatchameen, big projects can be exhausting, even if gratifying.

I've admired your build for countless posts, but I've never written anything here.
So it's about time! I find everything you do here incredibly impressive! I have the utmost respect for both the quality and the speed of your build. I take my hat off to your skills and your perseverance.

Fast running out of superlatives Brian - that engine room is awesome!

Really good to hear about that Tamiya drill, I've often wondered about getting that.

It's slow going and not very exciting I know but I'll keep you up to date.

I dunno Brian, we're modellers, we have have endless conversations about a 1000 different shades of grey and we literary find watching paint dry exciting. Holes being not just being drilled, but slotted, is nay-on orgasmic.

It's well worth all your hard work Brian, opening up those slots has really improved the look of the plastic.

Hi, all done and I will be back on the final compartment (rear torpedo room) tomorrow. I think it looks better than mk1 and it only took me 6 days :)
