I'm using the metal photo-etch set; I like the look of them a lot more than the newer lasercut sets.

Lots of building time coming up; Nigeria has closed the borders already in the run-up of the presidential election, curfews will start tonight and we're being sent from the office early because of massive traffic disruptions. Fascinating place.

Well Marco - know the feeling!

But the "enforced" breaks are quite nice too.

Do Kindles wok in Nigeria? The 3G? Would be ideal in that type of situation?

Nah, just have to make do with the wireless connection at home. Sometimes it actually works. Otherwise I use the network at work, which occasionally works too.
Anyway, here are the lifeboats, main mast and anchors:

Hello Marco,
I am enjoying the craftsmanship, and the news reporting from Nigeria.
As always, the ship looks terrific. She has quite a variety of colors.

Excellent detail work on this imposing (and as Mike points out, vari-colored) ship.

Thank you for your comments, and there's more colour coming! Here are the details on the bow, and two navigational buoys.

I have kept myself busy during the lockdown: the ship is finished!

Congratulations Marco!
It's a beauty. There is a lot of fine detail here in a small package.
