HI Andrew CHEERS for your kind words an im also a bit lost at times as i have to sit an think right whats next on the build i think ive created a monster lol :smiling4:
chris an thanks to you also for havin a looksee
 
Hmmm. It’s bloody huge. Maybe it best to dismantle the lot and replan down by 5%. Consider where you are as practice?

Toby
On second thoughts. That’s wasteful.
 
Hi Christopher, she is looking really good...the portholes nice even and level, good job. :thumb2: Now will see how you paint...hope the weather holds. I hear British weather can be finicky.

Cheers,
Richard

Hello Richard firstly hope you are recovering from your op ok an thanks yea them portholes made me sweat a bit as if even if one is out of line by a bit it can really make the model look wrong but i think ive pulled it off ok (PHEW)

an yea :thinking:ive still got all the hulls paint spryin to do again for about the 12th time an ive got to mask all the P/H's glass up again all about 70 odd but thats all the challanges i love on this model.But like you say the great british weather is a bugger as its all over the show an its nearly impossible to plan anything its a case of its got to be done on the spur of the moment thing as if i wait fora nice day it will be nxt yr proberly :poop: but cheers for you lookin in :thumb2:
