Now don't fall off of your chairs but i have managed to make some much enjoyed progress
I made a start on the winches on the lower deck
And also the protection rails - At least I think thats what they are
There are five winches in total - The biggest sits on the very upper deck which I haven't started yet
I then prep'd them for painting by giving them two air brushed coats of EZ coat and a quick rub down
And then gave them a good prime and top coat
Here they are in situ but without any rope wrapped around them. Thats because I'm waiting for the paint to fully harden first
Finally I finished off the lower deck lighting by fitting some warm white LED's under the stairs each side. This proved to be much harder than I first thought and took me an entire day to fit and wire so that the wiring was virtually invisible inside the hull.
I'm pretty pleased with the results - You will have to excuse me in the shots but I'm holding a temporary power supply in place to light everything up!
Well thats it for the lower decks its all complete according to the kits instructions
So now I'm moving onto the superstructure which by the time its finished if it works out correctly will have loads of working lights and working fire tenders.
Thanks for looking - Mark
