No not that Julia......I like berries.....Halle
I've put some furniture on her bow, and midships, the capstans etc and the pom pom placements port and starboard of the main turret.....now she is really starting to look the part, if the weather is reasonable on the weekend I may try a dab of paint......
A bit disappointed with the upper deck tho.....it moved a bit while I was gluing it down.....hence a slight repair is needed......Phil

But once they have been through the microwave, they're pretty much harmless, as they're almost dead.

Things are going slowly, time and my health haven't been good to me lately....but I have repaired the deck and have now positioned the forward part of said deck for gluing.......still awaiting the replacement rudder kit, but otherwise she's plodding along nicely.
I have decided to get the hull painted and the innards positioned before I start on the superstructure......the life boats for her haven't arrived yet, they are kits in their own right so some work will be needed, but they looked better than some of the cast offerings......Phil

Don't you hate that, you make plans and some so called 'tradie' lets you down, obviously not desperate for the work!!...........Dave

I know......if I went out to the shipyard and started on her, I wouldn't know if he was here or not.......and he obviously doesn't know how to return a call.....Phil

Have added the motors, couplings and drive shafts to her to see if they line up and are free of any issues. I have also temporarily located the rudder servo.....plenty of space so I'll fix them permanently when I have completed the paint job on the hull.
The super structure is at a standstill as I've not had any time, too busy with work....but once the hull is painted I'll get into it.......Phil
