Continuing along the starboard aft hull with the marking out. It takes a while but as I've mentioned before it's really helpful when applying the embossed plastic transfers.

That concludes this weeks update. A time consuming job, but looking over the now completed bow section with a cuppa it's starting to take shape. BigGrin

I'm on holiday next week, camping near Lynton in North Devon. Really looking forward to it!! BigGrin

To that end, I won't be posting an update next week, but will still look in on all of your excellent builds. Cool

Thanks for looking in, have a great weekend and happy modelling! Cool

Regards,
Phil W. BigGrin

Fabulous work as always Phil. I love the way that you are going to the greatest lengths to incorporate every possible detail and I think you will be massively rewarded for your efforts in the finished model - it is going to be stunning!! Drool

Have a nice (and relaxing) holiday. Well deserved. Cool

Thanks Alan! Cool

Yes, plenty of patience required. You have to get into that 'production line' mentality for repetitive work like this as i'm sure you and other modellers have faced at some point. All good though. BigGrin
