Nice start Simon…following along as it is always nice to see your work!
Cheers,
Very nice start, Si! She already looks like a ship!
The main parts of the kit appear to be in a good shape/fit, this looks very nice.
Looking forward to your build, as always!
Cheers

Hi Joe,
Welcome aboard.
Cheers, Si
Thanks Jan,
It looks like she will go together rather well, some very nice slide molding on the main parts.
Cheers, Si

Nonetheless, caught and following with interest, mate!

Thanks Mark,
welcome aboard, should be an update over the next couple of days, the camo scheme is a bit tricky to say the least.
Cheers, Si
A bit later than planned, an update,
The deck has now been sprayed wood deck tan.
and etched doors added from the spare etched box.
The camouflage going on, this is the second attempt, the first time, the boot topping was too low.
The etch added to the funnels.
The camouflage is nearly done, including B gundeck and the maindeck superstructure. next plan is deck fittings, start at the bow and work aft.
More in the not too distant future.
Cheers, Si

Thank you Jan,
That camouflage Scheme is “fun”, I have the nice drawing of the Port side in Alan Raven’s book, all I have for the Starboard side is the rather grainy photograph on the PM book.
Got a bit further over the weekend, new photos as soon as I have the hull done.

Thanks Mark,
Nearly there, a few bits on the after section of the Fo’c’s’le deck level to do, and a fair amount of tidying up.

Si
Thanks Russ,
I do seem to be drawn to these odd slightly geometric schemes, why I don’t know (apart from the fact they are challenging.

Definitely breaks up the grey monotone and makes the display shelves more interesting. It’s a problem I am finding for my modern warship fleet. They are all light grey.
Hi Rory,
Thinking about it, you certainly have a very good point, but it is also the challenge of making a good job of it.
Cheers,
Si
