GREAT work - for the siege, how about Avaricum or going back even further how about Rhodes in 304BC (will not make any jokes about you seeing both of these in person - hohohhoho )
I have a trebuchet to build - maybe on Sunday and some other siege engines to scratch build, before the sidetracking gene takes over again.
Maybe I should change the heading?

Just remember, you are older than me, so you would definitely have been present at all these ancient events.

Undercoated, ladders added, paining soon, mainly dry brushing.
Martin the Mean just needs somewhere to attack now.

A labour of love. Lots of fettling going on.

Thanks for the comments guys.
Well moving on, I have now glued the fuselage halves together.
Being a short run kit, there are no locating pins, only the tabs that I attached the fuselage halves earlier in the build. Some misalignment on the two halves namely around the upper fuselage/spine and underside, were evident.
Also the fuselage/cockpit bulkhead would need some filler to fair in.
For the fuselage cockpit bulkhead I used Mr. Hobby tube filler, applied with a spatula. For the rest of the fuselage I used Milliput white. To keep the area of application to a minimum I applied Tamiya tape strips either side of the join, and also some finer strips across the fuselage where panel lines cross the join. This enables these to remain visible and not removed with over enthusiastic rubbing down. As can be seen in one of the pictures gaps in the Milliput where the Tamiya tape has protected these areas.
After a session of rubbing down with sanding sticks and wet'n'dry, got a nice smooth finish. The cockpit bulkhead faired in nicely and will need the paintwork touching in to match the cockpit internals later in the build. Any panel lines that have been lost or lost definition will be rescribed after the wings and tail have been attached.
Some pictures follow:-
Thanks for looking.

Now ready for primer after doing a few modifications - changing the aerial fit and flotation mechanism and adding the search light under the nose.
