Cheers niall those drawings are great for getting a good idea of what to do for those bits :)
Righty ho thought I'd give this thread an update, been busy land rovering so modelling has been on the back burner
I've painted the deck which gives the model another dimension I think, it looks good, especially in contrast with the wooden deck. (I know theres grey on the white paneling but it needs painting white again anyway. I've also been busy building the bridge.
The guns are what you get with the platinum model. Its the first time I've ever used Photoetch so they're a bit wobbly
It needs filler where it joins to the floor (Its not glued in place yet, just on top of the wheelhouse temporarily)
I've got to say this is one of the most enjoyable kits to work on, yes the detailing isnt fantastic as its an old kit but its fun to build :)
