Hi guys,
at the moment i`m trying to finish the "underbody" (?) of the stern gallery.
I will work my way upwards step by step, trying to build as near to the real thing as possible with my skills.

It´s done!!!!
I finally attached the rudder to the hull.
As much as i feared this procedure, it turned out not as hard as imagined.
I´m very satisfied with the result. DaDokta attached the following image(s): Greetings,

And a great job you've done of it too.... very well done... .. I find sometimes the most daunting of tasks actually turn out to be some of the easiest which in itself I find very surprising....  Regards Alan

Thanks guys!
Did a little paintjob today - you really need a steady hand for this one! 
Besides, macro-pictures really reveal every mistake  DaDokta attached the following image(s): Greetings,

Coming along very nicely Walter and yes, you do need a steady hand to paint some of the really fine detail... also, good quality brushes and a good set of optivisors is a must.... .. Keep the pics coming.... Regards Alan
