Thanks Enrico been Building this model on and off since the end of 2007, the Sherman put it on the back boiler for some time.
Gert I have an estate car so should fit in that all right I might have it finished next year, have just assembled the bridge walls this afternoon so I'm still ahead of the updates on the build.

More progress from a bit ago made up the Stern fair leads and some roller fair leads . I made up an extra set to go either side of the midship deck house.

The next 3 photographs of general views.

Stern bits made up.

Parts for the Stern leads waiting to be made up.

The port side bulwalk made up this is fairly straightforward to make up the I did have to cut little notches in the top rail so fit the curve towards the Stern.

Views of the Stern showing the fittings and bulwalks in place.

Sorry about the focus on the last three pictures because of its size is quite hard to photograph

Fine work David.
This ship looks like the "king" of paper models.

Moving onto the accommodation block, starting off on the main deck cabins the photographs showing the construction these cabins were too blurred post. There needed to be a bit of trimming around the engine casing. The main deck cabins are for the Seaman, engineering hands, stewards and catering staff along with their toilets and mess room.

Next group of photos show the bridge deck glued in place and start made on making up the bridge deck cabins from the inside out with the walls round the engine room casing also made up is the officers galley and the engineers toilets and bathroom.

Hello David,
The main deck is beginning to look like a small town.
The work all appears to be straight and clean.

Not only big but it must weigh a pound or three when done. It's an awesome build, Roman.
