More superb work Chris, it's the little details that really bring the thing to life. You're another one with the patience of a saint. Have to agree with Scottie though perhaps Matron can help :hungry:

Knicker elastic is never strong given the correct incentives ...

Hi chris

its been a little while since I checked in and all I can say is; wow! She is certainly coming together.

One question about the colour of deck which you may be able to help me with: what do you think the deck flooring would have been in the ward room of HMS Bulldog in 1945? I ask becasue for many years I have toyed with the idea of a boxed diorama depicting the signing of the German surrender aboard HMS Bulldog in 1945.

Almost certainly Teak or Oak mate - the Andrew loved it and used it wherever possible !
