Fab stuff Greg. I’m sure you are in top of this, but out of interest, is it going to be hard to get the paint into all those nooks and crannies?

Thanks Tim Indeed painting will be complicated..so every part will be painted separetly...and this will create a different color modulation of navy greys and blues that l hope will fit all together with the weathering...hope it make sense what l said..

Wow Greg,, I've been watching this from the sidelines and wondering why all the detail underneath - NOW it makes sense!
totally awesome and epic, as are all your projects.
Keep the faith!

Thanks Neil really happy you like it...stay tuned more to come

Makes Absolute sense Greg. This is probably the best build on here at the moment, and that’s up against some stellar opposition :thumb2:

Hi Greg
A real pleasure to watch this. How much is actually glued in place? I ask because I imagine this is becoming rather difficult to paint if everything is fixed.

...and what a lifeboat! If I were ever able to build such a nicely detailed model, that would be the boat of my life!

Fantastic Greg, the angle from below astern is always the view people from the dock side see a carrier and all those exposed scaffolding and supports. :thumb2:

Cheers,
Richard
