Going to take a break from the compartments and do a bit of opening up some air vents.

 

[Bri62]

Made a start...... going to take my time otherwise it becomes a chore.

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.

Thanks - I'll take a look.

 

[Bri62]

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

 

[A_J_Rimmer]

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.

 

[Bri62]

Arnold your easily pleased lol

 

[Bri62]

More of the same I'm afraid will be done this side tomorrow.

 

[Bri62]

This side is done having a break before I tackle the clear side.

 

[A_J_Rimmer]

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

 

[Bri62]

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
