Catching up on everyone's work over the past couple of weeks and what an eyeopener to start with, incredible work.

It’s a master class in brass etch work.

                       Back from a short break with Mrs Haddock. Been sloshing some paint on, the pictures probably speak for themselves.
Nothing glued in place as yet.

                     The last photo is an examlpe of why things take so long.
                 These are the ladders that get you from the main deck up to the bridge deck,one each side.

                      As you can see, you bend parts PE-A1 and PE-A6 as shown in the diagram, then add the handrails, PE-A26 and PE-A27
bent as shown, pop the lot into position on the sides of the bridge structure, job jobbed.

                               Trouble is that the upper ladder won't bend far enough to reach the bridge deck because of the way the brass is designed
so the whole lot is useless.

                I've come up with a solution which I'll post when comlete.

Despite the brasswork Tony it's looking excellent.

                                    A 54th wedding anniversery seems to get in the way of modelling.

                           Some progress made. First pic is the offending article, as you can see, the upper ladder refuses to bend
enough to connect with it's platform.

                              After some head scratching, a visit to the generic stock of ladders and railings and a bit of scratch building
you can see the result, looks acceptable to me.

                              Funnels are rigged and the ships boat stowage platforms fitted, the brass bracing needed modifying
a little but nothing drastic.
