Progress is painfully slow so no pictures to post.      Keep watching this space.

Some progress at last. These dark colours are playing tricks with my eyes. I'm having to fix then paint just so's I can see what I'm doing. Fair way to go yet, lots of small detail to add.

More railings added. I'm not sure that those around the torpedo tubes should actually be there but it looks sensible to me.

Same picture, different lighting!!

Those railings seem a lot chunkier than the delicate bits of brass I'm used to seeing.  Is it just the pictures of are they more 'robust' than some of the others you've done?

Haddock

It must be a trick of the light, to me they look finer under a coat of paint ( ignore the brush-marks)

I hope my next is always better

Fore-mast added, nine individual parts here, flippin' 'eck!!

Bigkev

Hi Haddock,
The nice work continues, keep plugging away my friend.
Cheers,

What do you mean nine parts? Only nine, you must be slipping.
Grumpy by name and nature

    Bit more detail added. Ships boats, a poor excuse for a main-mast and some dinky little cranes for manipulating the depth charges. One or two more bits that you can't really see.

It is, still more to go on yet.

Are all those details in with the kit or aftermarket Haddock?
It is becoming a rather impressive beast.

All out of the box except the rails which are just generic stuff. A lot of modelling for thirty quid.
