Brain still mush from the covid ( before you say it Zak, yes I know my brain was mush before I got covid - yohoho) Looked at the collier fatened down and ready to pass on bags of coal and noticed it still had the 2 anchors fixed to the hull. So broke one off and drilled out the holes to fix the chain from the sea to the ship.  One less thing for Haddock to pull me up on and point out my mistakes - hohohohoho

Ford anchors and winch fitted.
The instructions show the winch fitted on the sloping section of deck that also has the anchors fastened to it. My research, that is looking at photos of the ship, not other plastic models of the Orel show the winch is fitted on the main deck behind the railings, so am going with the photo evidence - nit pickers do your worst.

More colour on the ships boats.
Also decided that its toooooo hot to contemplate revenge on the 2 Chris's so you can both sleep easy - or as it was said in the Godfather film "he sleeps with the fishes"

Nice to see you're using up the blue left over from the sea. Looking good.

So back to keeping Haddock happy - more  done on the etch brass for the 2 masts - how do you do it and it ends up perfect, mine just plays with my mind and goes were it wants to.
