Ive finally got around to cutting the gun ports. Was so paranoid that I marked up, erased and marked up again at least 6 times until I was happy. As I'm doing the 28 month build, there's a bit of a lull at the moment until I get the sapelle planks for the hull, which I hope to receive in the next installment, whch is my number 6 due in 3-4 weeks! I'm going to add some LED lighting too, to help pass the time.

Hi Mate, Looking awesome upto now.. Keep it up, Just a quick note, When u pin the planks knock the pins in half way to hold the plank then remove the pins and trenail or get brass pins as the A/L pins are steel and when u sand the planking down it discolours round the pin giving a dark area. If you can try not to use any pins. Look on my build you will see how I planked without pins and the way I clamped the planks down. Happy Building Chris... On the bench 1/350 Revell Tirpitz Platinum Edition (Pontos PE and Wooden deck) plus extra Eduard PE set and extra MK1 door sets.
