More excellent Phil!!

I know you are using strips of rivets but are you keeping a running total of how many rivets you have applied? Just curious as I'm sure it's going to be a fair few Blink

You must be one of the most qualified 'rivet counters' on any modelling forum on the 'net Phil, I admire your persistence and you're doing a great job with this! Blink

Nice work as usual. ThumpUp

Good evening from 'The Dockyard'.

Well, a seminal moment has arrived; I've completed this phase of the build, with all rivets and weld lines in place!! Phew! LOL

I'll post stats at the end of this thread.

Before I start this weeks update, I thought I would share the fact that tomorrow is my 1st birthday on this forum and I've enjoyed it immensely so far. Cool

Right then, the attached photo shows the next section of horizontal rivets applied to the upper, port hull.
