Pete,
Loving the bling the additions take this to a whole new level.

Thank you kind sir but Jim is still our resident bling master got a long way to catch him up.
Pete.

Hi Peter, really looking good. To me PE was always meant for ships of this scale and smaller. It greatly enhances the kit when applied well.

Hi Pete.
On the last picture you can see the boxes where a small amount of ammo was stored.
For sustained fire the ammo was usually manhandled from the main stores via a human chain.

Thanks for that Ralph and Peter, on that account I have looked up some reference images of these ammunition lockers, not many here's just two...

Must be dangerous having live ammunition all around you. Any shrapnel can set it off.

Cheers,
Richard

This is a beautiful build Peter. Really coming along well. Must be nearly there now??

Hi Steve and thank you, no I'm not more missing than I thought, having to SB parts.

Cheers PaulE having to SB missing parts so it's all ground to a cruel :sad-face:.
Pete.

 

[Guest]

Hi this is my attempt at making the missing parts still have the gardrails to add. There is still at least one bigger mast to make.










Thank you for looking in.
Pete.

Thank you very much very good of you to say so.

Hi I'm calling the build stage complete I know it's not 100% right but it's the best I can do with my skill set, I'll paint the little launches and lifeboat separately.
















Thank you I hope you like it.
Pete.

Pete,
Looking good I really appreciate the work that goes into that etch and how flimsy it is.

 

[Jim R]

Hi Pete
Excellent work. Fun now with the paint.

Thank you Paul, I must say etch this small was a test for me how people work with even small stuff is beyond me.

Hi Jim and thank you very much appreciated, I can now appreciate your build even more now. As for the paint we will have to wait and see, it's not my favourite part of the build process.
Pete.

 

[stillp]

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