As my old QM2 was looking a little bit shabby I have decided to treat myself to a newer version this one comes pe and wooden decks the only annoying thing is I have to cut out every single deck piece.
But here's the progress so far.
The hull
The wooden decks
And aft sun deck

 

[Jim R]

Nice start. That aft deck looks great.

 

[peterairfix]

Here's what's up next
The plans
What it goes on in the way of PE
And the alterations I have to make. And I have the decking in place and the swimming pool decals in place

She is 85cm long it could be radio controlled but it could involve a lot of work as she powered and steered by pods

Peter,
Beautifully neat PE work mate.

 

[NotesNut]

She looks brilliant! Don't fancy all those small pieces of deck but you obviously have the patience and skill!

That lot will keep you out of trouble Peter

 

[Guest]

Brilliant Peter, that's some kit .

 

[peterairfix]

After three days one side finished

 

[Bri62]

Well done Peter the other side is waiting

 

[peterairfix]

Whilst waiting on for some ordered parts to arrive I thought I would drag this off the shelf and do some more and I spent the last two days finishing off the balcony decking witch now gets the longest part of the build out of the way.

 

[peterairfix]

Finished off the balconys by fitting the clear railings I was going paint them but decided that the details were just too small to masking and would have lost the plot if I tried
And have them in place along with bow and stern end pieces.

Looking at the pictures I see what you mean :flushed:
