That concludes this weeks update. Next week I will be adding the finishing touches to the radar mast before moving onto making the housing for it. Before I go, I took delivery of a few bits and pieces this week. First up is a set of three metal ladles in 1/48 scale to go in the galley.

tigerace wrote:Great work on the radar mattress  do the figures require a lot of clean up phil  regards Phil Thank you Phil!  A little more work required on the radar mast before it's complete. Updates on that will be posted next week. Regarding the figures, at a cursory glance they look reasonable. With pewter figures you always have to do a little cleaning up; but this takes a couple of minutes if that. Regards, Phil W.
