It had to happen because I couldn't wait to get my pass on one.
I have had a look under the lid and found five other boxes and one long one that I assume contains the Hull I haven't gone any further as I will cove what's in each individual box as I get to them.
The led set I will not using as it only lights the upper Hull and I don't fancy drilling all those portholes (one ship is enough).
Some pictures

The first I will be doing is sorting out the mould seem.
Some of the Hull detail

 

[peterairfix]

Started on the Hull the first to be done are the two piece propshafts and the rudder.
The first pieces of peand Hull painting.

 

[peterairfix]

I won't showing what's in each box as it's a case of one part in one box and the other in another box.
But no construction yet as its the Hull painting has taken two days but its now finished and the next up will be the well decks.

Forward well deck painted and in place.
And two steam winches and I found it easier to construct them on the spure.
And in place.

Started on the fire deck as yet no construction as it all consists of painting.
One annoying thing is there are no rigging plans.

Some very helpfull info including the shackle and ties, even the types of wires and the size!
Very tidy work on that huge hull.

[peterairfix]

Finally got round to actual construction I have put the upper side walls on and some inner walls and pe windows.

 

[peterairfix]

Update time I have completed the promonade deck and have attached the boat deck and various parts ready for painting.

 

[peterairfix]

Slow going as I haven't got much time for building at the moment.
But I have finished the officers quarter's /gym and attached the two glass domes.

 

[peterairfix]

Managed to get more done today than in the last couple of weeks.
I have started to fill the fore deck and forward well deck.

 

[peterairfix]

Not much done lately as I am busy with other things but I have managed to finish the foredeck and well deck.
And fitted the anchors.
