Super!
Haddock.

Are you sure you are not a mini haddock ??

[zak]

Well, after a visit by the mother in law and then looking after ill grandchildren I have eventually managed to get back to some modelling.
My limited patience is beginning to run out, my staying power has almost failed.
I am finding the painting very difficult and have resorted to hand painting the camouflage scheme.
There is still a lot to do and the etched frets still have a lot of parts left on them.
My eyes are suffering too, hay fever as well as poor eyesight.

[Haddock]

Press on regardless, it'll be worth it in the end, honest.
Haddock.

[zak]

I will but a month is a long time for me!

[MSea]

A month - I would have expected at least 38 models finished to an excellent standard in the time -- hohoho -- the joys of ship models.

[zak]

The slow progress continues.
it is difficult to work out where some of the etched railings go, I can find no reference in the instructions for some of them.

[Haddock]

Keep up the good work.
Haddock.

[zak]

Once again, slow progress, child minding, hay fever and the allotment have all taken priority.
Working on the radar at present.

[Haddock]

Must look like it's never ending, but you will come to the home run,  honest.
Haddock.

[MSea]

Just think how happy you will be when its finished - and then you can do another ship of this size -- hohoho

[zak]

Working on the masts.

[Haddock]

Are the masts part of the kit or scratch-built? they look very nice.

Haddock.

They are part of the kit.

[Haddock]

Bet it wasn't a cheap kit!
