Adding the figures was a good idea.

Really shows what a confined space they were working and living in- don’t think o could have done the same.

Looks very nicely painted and detailed.

Thankyou Tony! BigGrin

The figures give the whole model a sense of scale and really conveys the cramped conditions the crew lived and worked in.

Regards,
Phil W.

Top job as always Phil, the level of detail in this when finished will be just mind blowing. Looking forward to the finished build eventually (as I suspect you might be) just to see this model in all of it's glory!!

Very well done yet again Phil! Cool

Very neat work with the soldering iron.

That looks like a very complex set of parts you have fitted together there.

Tony

Good afternoon from 'The Dockyard'.

Thank you for all of the comments, much appreciated.

So this week has seen slow progress, not that much to show to be honest.

I have started to add details to the Engine Room forward bulkhead.

The attached photos shows junction boxes, ancillaries and the bulkhead door itself.

Phil,
A very nice model coming along here.
Masses of detail there which would send me cross eyed.

Good evening from 'The Dockyard'.

So this week i have been prepping and painting further part-works supplied details that make up the Engine Room forward bulkhead. I will be adding my own gauges and pipework at a later date, as the supplied parts look a little odd just stuck onto the bulkhead without any connecting pipes or wires.
