Hi, Here are the pics of the finished build, at times I think I may have taken on a bit too much with the full etch kit, fibre-optic lighting and a resin sea base but it's all done now  Im no expert on the real thing but I may be wrong in painting the fork lifts yellow, pretty sure they would have been green - just wanted a bit of colour The life raft canisters are also supposed to be grey but I painted them white for the same reason. I also have no idea what is happening on the flight deck and I doubt that my positioning of the airwing is accurate but never mind, too late now My idea of the harrier taking off worked pretty well I think and looks ok on the shots where the wire is not showing - if it is showing then please pretend it isnt there  Really enjoyed the build though and for anyone planning this one then it is recommended and goes together very well, I think it would be a bit basic without the etch kit though. Loads of pics here, apologies for any doubles, couldnt decide which to use so you get the lot  - For those interested, the build diary is here - http://forum.model-space...spx?g=posts&t=12147

Hi Steve, I have followed your build from the start Steve and I must say I am still learning not only is it a great build but the way you have modelled the sea, looking at your build it gives you the feeling to go out and buy the kit, great stuff Steve. Thank You. Trev. Work in progress: Tombstone (Scratch) - San Francisco 2. -The Mayflower ( scratch by plan).
