That concludes this update. Thanks for looking in guys, much appreciated. Apologies for my lack of engagement with other builds recently, but i'm currently in 'head-down' mode to get this build done and dusted. Have a great weekend and happy modelling!  Regards, Phil W.

Hi Phil,
I just love the way you added the flaking paint detail on the wall by the door in your previous post(595 & 598).
The only time I get that effect is when I don't want it!!
Cheers
Chris

Hi Phil, Love your detail, I know sometimes it takes a lot of time to complete small parts and pant them and it may not look right when finished, so you have to start again. This build is special Phil looking forward to the next post. Regards Trev. Work in progress: Tombstone (Scratch) - San Francisco 2. -The Mayflower ( scratch by plan).

I found a small pewter dish in 1/48 scale, which in my mind could double as an ashtray. I found an old pack of rizlas in the kitchen draw from my smoking days, burnt a couple to make some ash and tipped some of this into the dish/ashtray and added some diluted PVA to set it. I then cut 2 x small lengths [2.0mm] of very small, 0.3mm diameter, acetal rod. Wrapped both in rizla paper and burnt one end. Glued both these onto the edge of the ashtray.
