Very nice work Ken and all the more impressive since this is to all intents and purposes a scratchbuilt model, albeit converted from a card model? Great skills on show here!
Looking good, keep up the good work.

Hi All. It's been quite a while since I posted any updates. Work has progressed steadily. I was originally going to plank the deck with 1mm strips, but decided to use the printed card as i would never have achieved the same level of detail. All the anti-aircraft gun positions have been fitted - the guns will be built and fitted later. Ken attached the following image(s): Ken

Hi Ken I commented a couple of weeks ago, but seems it disappeared... Lovely build you're doing there, the detail is terrific - how do you do the handrails? Are they supplied ready made in the kit? Or separate stancions and rails. I'm wondering how to do them on my build (7mm high 3 rail... Regards JohnP
