Hi All

Completed plating the hull and drilled portholes. Quite pleased at the moment. Had a look at the superstructure, this is going to be a bit of a challenge as some of the parts are really small.

Progress so far:-

Hi all

thanks for the comments. Hull progressing nicely, prepping for painting. Left it alone and tackled some of the superstructure.

Used the laser cut parts for the main structure and photo-copied the cabin sides and stuck to plastic sheet and cut out.

Hi Budgie

Thanks for your comment. It's amazing what a few coats of paint can do.

How's the card Naiad going?

cheers

Hi All

Purchased the photo etch for the Naiad. glad I'm not going to attempt to cut these very small partst out of card/plastic. Started on the superstructure, using the laser cut parts where I can and using the excellently detailed drawings to build the rest.

Cheers
