Looking good with that new detailing …… The printing lines, are they going to be a mare to get rid of ? or do they become hidden once painted ?

Are you doing this just by eye or have you got some plans?

All by eye mate and I’ve gathered a mass of reference photos and research. A set of plans would have been useful

Frustration started to set in as I realised more and more of the model wasn’t right.anyway on with details.locking pins added and work started on the crew stations .i have to admit I stopped taking so many pictures..
The crew stations had added resin details which I added using plastic card and self cast resin bits it took several attempts to get rightish ..the top of the turrets were cast from a plastic card master and it took about eight attempts to get two that matched ..the depth of the hatch was built up with plastic card
The original hatch along with the self made cast .each hatch is made up from about 25 different parts including cast the cover on the internal part of the hatch ..in hindsight I should have had them closed but where is the fun in that .
This is the scratch hatch along side the provided one .
