Great step-by-step description! You make it look easy. It's an incentive to try such a ship.

First off, suggestions.
Glue all hatches to superstructure parts on all sheets, that way you don't forget them. I like separate hatches as they give a 3d effect. Glue 35gp inside 35a and align with top edge to ensure alignment of conn deck. Part 35fp is a reverse fold to go into 35e. There is no diagram of part 41 so I used the appearance sheet to see what they were. There is mention of part 43b on diagram of 43. There are a number of little parts to challenge a beginner.

You have fast hands, he he ! I repeat... it looks very well and I´m learning about the construction system and little tricks. Saludazos |

More detail on bridge, missing part 49f (reported), replaced with part 49e. Part37 al/ap not on diagram but I figured out where it went. 4th pic shows it.

Ship is coming along nicely and I can hardly believe at the speed of progress...
Part 49e actually has wrong color - totally my fault since I told Padre to substitute so please everyone pretend not to see it :( This was corrected already and Grzegorz also modified sides to give some extra color just in case.

I appreciate all the detailed photos and commentary on the build, Terry.
And I enjoy seeing the usual GreMir responsiveness and conscientious attention to detail in action, Mike. Don |

Bow done. As there was no diagram for the bow I had to use the General Plan sheet for parts and layout. Some parts not shown as to what they were for on assembly sheets but from experience I figured out what they were for:D. While building I do not put on parts that stick up or out as I have a tendency to knock them off as I move the ship around. I think now I will start on the stand and the props/rudder.

I know I said the props and rudder would be next, but as I said I have a tendency to break things that stick out sooooo:p. I am working on the aft structure. The underside of the 02 deck was not on the diagram but this is where they go.
