You are doing a good job Building those buggers is indeed a study the instructions taking note of which bit is what colour. The occasions I have built a war canoe I paint ALL the deck surfaces and mask them off if need be.
You got this!

Followed Dave's advice, unplugged phone, locked cats out, performed yoga, phoned the Pope ( no answer) and did a 10 mile run ok thats a porkie;)

Then had my first go at fitting a 3 piece wooden deck:flushed::worried::upside:. Here' s the result

Not the best quality, only set i could find and delivered from Aussie. The rear deck is not a great fit but no doubt me!!

The larger decks went on very well and i think looks good and brings the ship to life, well thats what i think!

Many thanks to Dave for his hard earned help and advice, cheers Dave.

Will be posting a q soon lol
