In the last photo you can see I have begun to add the spray wall for want of a better description to the fore and aft of the bridge roof, blending it into place again with Squadron green filler. The fire monitors have been finished and painted red and now my attention turns to super detailing.
I have another 64 railing stanchions to cut and drill, window wipers to fabricate, some more ladders and safety cages to add and a lot of drench pipe to bend and add. Drench pipe will only be decorative not operational! This pipe work is run around superstructures and other vital areas, in the case of getting up close and personal in a fire, the monitors flood the fire with water/foam, but what protects the ship? these pipes are arranged to spray water over the superstructure to keep it cool.
So that's it for this weeks post... oh one last thing. I used the Maskol on the lights, it will be ok on flat surfaces, but tends to run off verticals, I had to apply it several times over the led's to get enough protection, but it does work and leaves a nice clean surface free from paint. I'll leave you with a couple of photo's of the superstructure on the hull so you can see what it looks like.
