The rivets are a bit like old acquaintances, the amount of time I've spent with them. I'll certainly be glad to start the painting though. Regards, Phil W.

Good Evening from 'The Dockyard'. First off i apologise for the quality of the photographs. They were taken with my mobile phone as my camera is away for servicing. This weeks update on my U230 U-boat build log continues with marking out, adding more rivet strips and weld lines to the lower and amidships hull. The attached photo [ahem], shows the starboard side being marked out. Sticky Wickett attached the following image(s): Completed projects: 1/43 scale Bedford HA van / 1/43 scale MG TD sports car Current projects: 1/48 scale U-boat [U230] Future projects: 1/148 scale railway diorama / 1/50 scale R/C Volvo F89 logging truck / 1/148 scale Thunderbirds Fireflash
