And the Lusitania is almost ready, just a bit of paint, some remaining coiling vents and the anchors.
Even as I'm russing the assembly, the result is much better that I believed. It means that I can assemble the next ships faster without losing quality as I feared.

And the RMS Lusitania is finished and packed, ready to go!
Yes, I know that the inner side of the funnels looks unpainted, but that is a trick of the flash. If you see the model with natural light, the funnel looks completely black.
Anyway, the RMS Mauretania is still without funnels or coiling vents, and will be assembled without pause but without haste.

After finishing my Spitfire and taking a break from my Albatross V, I'm ready to continue with the RMS Mauretania!

This weekend I continued with the RMS Mauretania, just one small structure aft the rear funnell and started the building of the funnels. The ones of this model are going to have the raised black strips and the pipelines in front and aft of each funnel.

Thanks, Sergio.
The construction of the RMS Mauretania is taking speed. The funnels are placed and painted. Soon each one will have two pipes.
The captain deck is finished, I'm starting to place the railins, the roof windows are being placed too.

Thanks, Elliot!
This weekend I placed the pipes in front and back of each funnel (the black top is still unpainted) and started to place the small parts that are the difference between a regular model and a detailed one.
The ship is almost ready, I'm starting to think about the next linner, warship or submarine.

I'm in the stage where you don't think what more to place, but what else remains.
I've place many skylights, finished the funnel pipes and tested the size and placement of the masts.
