I am now struggling with how it actually worked, where the chains, gears and pulleys all go, it is not easy to see from plans and photographs.
More research is needed, so things are on hold for a while.

It does look incredibly complex, even at the stage it's in now.  Those sprockets are a work of art in themselves. 

Some work done on the front extension.
Mostly guesswork I fear!

Looks fine to me.  There's nobody about to tell you it's wrong now anyway!

Some work done on the rear end and the "bridge".

Forgot to say, it is still all in bits that fit together.

Nameplates, to fit each side.
These are Slater's 2mm plastic letters stuck to plastic card, the raised surround is a thin strip of plastic card.

Undercoat applied.
The next coat will be some sort of Admiralty grey.
Most pieces are ready to assemble once painted.
The chain will then be added and I need to make a base to display it on as well.

The model is coming together.
Transfer made and some painting done and some assembly.

Neat, very neat!!

Busy constructing a base to display the Trench Crosser on.

I am so impressed that we will let you make a ship next !!!!!

WOW, THANKS!

Hi Zak,
I think the gauntlet is being put down.
A very nice and interesting model. I think showing posed in action, will help to explain how it was meant to work backs up any explanation words can.
