Another great update, and nice to know we have another year. Love

BTW, you’re going have to give plenty of notice because they will be many of us that will suffer from withdrawal symptoms. LOL

Good evening from 'The Dockyard'.

So this week i finished off the starboard main motor and fitted it. The attached photo shows it painted, pin washed and ready for fitting.

I then turned my attention to making the bulkhead door. Its template was cut from the etched brass sheet that makes up the Engine Room bulkhead. I decided to have this bulkhead door open back in Dec 2016 and cut it out then. See attached photo.

Phil

That door looks really good.

Trying to get a curve on one corner is hard enough, but 4 corners and it still looks nice and symmetrical - well that is well done.

Tony

Happy Modelling
