Pic 1 shows the parts with Issue 14 and pic 2 shows the completed hold as of the end of this issue. Pic 3 shows the parts with Issue 15 and pic 4 shows the bottom frame with another 3 sections added. Pic 5 is of the parts with Issue 16. The 3 corridor arches were then completed (parts from Issue 15) and the corridor floor was screwed to the lower half of the corridor. Pic 6 shows the corridor after the floor has been screwed in place and the arches test fitted into place. The issue 17 parts are shown in pic 7. The cushions were then glued to corridor side walls (Pic 8) and the two halves of the corridor fitted together (not glued), Pic 9. Pic 10 shows the corridor temporarily fitted in position on the hold. Graeme pemberg attached the following image(s):

The first Pic shows the parts with Issue 18. The only work to be done in this issue was to add more sections to the bottom frame and make two more corridor arches. The additions to the metal framework I decided to leave until more sections were due to be added and the corridor arches were completed as previous ones. Pic 2 shows the parts with issue 19. The recess was details as per the instructions and painted accordingly. The corridor floor was screwed down to the lower half of the corridor, another arch was constructed and the three arches then test fitted into the tube Pic 3 shows the passage tube and recess whilst pic 4 shows just the recess and shows the highlighting off a little better - still looks more effective in real life.

Thanks for looking in guys, after copper plating the Victory the cushions are a doddle. Here is another update. Pic 1 shows the parts with Issue 20. In this issue we assemble the corridor liners and fit them into place in the passage tube, Pic 2. Pic 3 shows the parts with Issue 21. Here we start adding the cushions to the passage tube walls as in Pic 4. The parts with Issue 22 are shown in Pic 5 and the work carried out was to finish adding the cushions to the lower half of the passage tube, Pic 6. Pic 7 shows the Issue 23 parts. Here we assemble the upper half of the passage tube and fit it to the lower half, Pic 8. Issue 24 has more lower frame parts and another piece of hull plating, Pic 9. In this issue we add sections to the lower frame, Pic 10. Graeme pemberg attached the following image(s):

Thanks for the comments. Another update Issue 25 contains parts for the turret access passage, hull frame part, hull panel section and another part for the hull assembly jig (Pic 1). The only job in this issue is to attach all the cushion pads to the walls of the access passage, Pic 2. Issue 26 contains more hull frame, plating and assembly jig parts plus the turret access passage roof and floor, Pic 3. In this issue we complete the access passage as seen in Pic 4. Pic 5 shows the parts with Issue 27 – more hull frame, plating and assembly jig. We also get the port corridor base and a sprue of wall cushions. The first job was to attach a couple of the cushions to the corridor base, Pic 6. Next was to add more parts to the hull frame as seen in Pics 7 & 8. Finally we start to assemble the hull assembly jig on a piece of board, Pic 9. That’s it for now. Graeme pemberg attached the following image(s):
