Peter,
Cracking work Sir.

 

[Jon Heptonstall]

That looks fantastic! The dazzle idea was good but I think I prefer the standard finish.
excellent job on the hull planking too.

And talking of my build here's a small update I have decided on building some a new parts and the first of the new parts will be the first and second class gratings that cover the domes using the magazine supplied template and a new hatch cover for the forward deck still work to do on them but here's what they look like so far.View attachment 320199

I have now finished the gratings and ready to install them in their respective places but have to remove the old second class grating.View attachment 320290View attachment 320291View attachment 320292View attachment 320293View attachment 320294

Done a bit more this time it's transferring the bridge structures over and the ships wheel and compass along with the telegraphs.
And also I have replaced the dome gratings with plastic to give a neater appearance.
And I have refitted the bow anchor.View attachment 322232View attachment 322233View attachment 322234View attachment 322235

While waiting for my spitfire to dry I picked up the two ships and started transfering some parts over from the doner ship it's mainly railings and vents four cranes from bow and parts on the fore deck.

Time to change scales I am back on my bigger Titanic I have almost finished the bow just a few bits to do and I have the first mast on and the first two funnels fitted.

Peter,
Looking good so far.

Had a big push over the last week just replacing all the parts I took off the old ship so almost finished just some rigging and the lifeboats to go.

Peter,
That is a cracking build.
