The making and painting of parts continues.
The parts are not stuck in place yet, patience and painting first!

Finished model looks great in the company of the hospital ship. Looks like the 'british Endurance will look equally good. Real modelling skills evident. Oh, and the chance to use some 'nautical language' when it doesn't go exactly to plan. 

More progress, the eyes are suffering doing the railings.
Small stuff this.
The colour reference was Very Dark Grey, maybe this is too dark. look almost black in black and white photos.
The bulwark around the bridge need to be teak coloured. It looks quite nice in white though!

More about the look than total accuracy!

The railings add to model greatly.  Looks good Dave.

If you like it white, then leave it as that. It's your model and what pleases you is what matters. Nice, painstaking work so far.

After a couple of hours digging the allotment, the light relief was adding more rails and some rigging.
It is difficult to know how much to add, would you really see it at that distance.
Anyway, this is what i have added.

Looks great, as do the other two.

Thanks for the comments.

Almost ready for a convoy!

The whole covoy looks great. Well done Dave.

Where did the Aircraft Carrier come from?
Obviously drafted in as convoy protection.

The Smith shipyard rarely sleeps or has a day off.

Will the shipyard be making a "CAM" ship

Not sure yet. I had never thought of doing one, for those not in the know CAM = Catapult Armed Merchant ship.
Here is a general cargo ship, this is based on the SS Politician, famed for running aground with a cargo of whiskey, immortalised in the film Whiskey Galore.

Now if it had had a cargo of RUM

Ooops, that from mast needs aquaring up somewhat!
