UPDATE 14:

Well, I've got the Fo'c'sle pretty much finished now

Got all the little fiddly bits on, along with the anchor and chain. The anchor winch was painted with Mr Metal Dark Iron (my new favourite colour!). That's about it apart from the railings which will go on last.

Next up is the engine room casing and the scratch built Oerlikon platforms, then I can move back midships and sort the final touches on the bridge and all the Davits.

UPDATE 15:

Quite a large update tonight, got plenty done. Certainly moving into the 90% finished region I would say!

Little bit of scratch building on the engine room casing for the extra Oerlikons.

Bloody effing depth charges! Took me going up for 3 hours to get them glued together, cleaned up and painted!

They do look the part though

On the home straight now! Next up will be the Bridge and Lifeboat davits.

TBC...
