Time to paint the hull me thinks.

Hi thanks to all who looked in and left comments much appreciated. Bit more done started adding deck details. Put some more railing in and the baskets started to go on decided to paint netting matt black and frame grey. There are no detail painting instructions, so it go as ya feel is right. Made up one boarding ladder.boy they fiddly, one going to put these on one side,but you do get them for both sides if you wish.started one main turrets, top not glued on yet as pe will be easier, without the barrels in the way.im putting the hand rail in when access is at its maximum, in my opinion if you do it when instructions say access is nearly impossible, and you would be in for a load of woe, to put it politely, and the build and paint bits at the front.cheers mick mogwai attached the following image(s): Builds hms victory, suzuki gsx 1300 R hayabusa, honda C B 750, lamborghini countach L P 500 S, tamiya 1/16 rc full option tiger 1 tank,
