Looks fantastic, Such fine detail in this scale. Don't know how you do it. Man he took his time in the sun Had a dream to understand A single grain of sand He gave birth to poetry But one day will cease to be Greet the last light of the library...We were here!

The last remaining superstructure is now in place, a bit more work to do on the finish.
Anchors are in as is the stern jack pole.
The wood deck came with anchor chain, but this is massively over size for my liking, so I left on the moulded on anchor chain and used the etch chain to extend the the kit chain.
The kit comes with four aircraft, all the same, one of which can be sat on the catapult on C Turret. I have added the cradle and built up the aircraft. the idea of the aircraft being made as clear parts is cracking, but the thing feels very chunky and oversized for the model. I have chosen not to add it to the build.
I have However built one using the etch set so you can see what this would look like.
The process of installing railings and booms has now begun. I am finding my etch rolling tool very handy for the curved deck edges that need to be formed
Those of you with a keen eye may have spotted what looks like a hair on my camera lens, but you would be mistaken its actually rigging, yep thats right I am going to do some rigging on a 1:700 scale battleship Yes I am bonkers
I am using this rubber thread that is0.01 of a mm thick, you can hardly see the dam stuff. you attache one end with a spot of glue and stretch it to the next point and another spot of CA at grabs instantly and trim it. looks fab I think
SOOOOOOOO close to finishing
