Welcome to the forum, look forward to seeing your hard work  Looks like your getting flash bounce and the focus is way out, I'm sure you'll quickly get the better of it.

More bits arived today not a mega package this time but some intresting things to do[ 1st time iv used photo etched components].some of the boat deck parts had warps but used those to my advantage as i didnt need to bend parts no 4 . i also used the offcuts on parts3 as fillets between bulkheads 17/16 to add strength and cure the twist i had there Andy ps still have the carving of the bow to keep me occupied  arpurchase attached the following image(s): Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Photos are much better  You might want to smooth and fill the joints between all the base sections, otherwise some of the superstructure parts may not sit flat or even rock, and any stepped joint lines will stand out a mile; the entire surface of the base shoild be flat and without visible joins, a lot of work I know but its worth the effort.

Thanx mgm for the kind comments, the base actualy looks worse than it is becuase of the shadows from the flash its exactly 0.005 diffrence in height, but if mr t would advise if this will make/cause a problem then il get the file out Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

If you have height difference shadowing then I would suggest they are sorted.
