IMPORTANT: The three pieces "shown" in the manual by the "part number listed" are in the WRONG ORDER. C, D, and E. I can explain more info later if needed.

More dry fitting.
More dry fitting. . .
None of the parts have been glued. The whole assembly will be dry-fitted and then glued. However, my plan is to try to figure out how to do this so that I can remove the assembly from the stem as one piece so that I can paint.

Hi Donnie,
you've made some great progress since my last visit, got some catching up to do. Really very nice work.

That’s a interesting 3D build: in length, width and height, Donnie. Looking forward to the outcome.

I am looking forward to see the complete structure - but we can see already some interesting and clever solutions prepared by the kit manufacturer and designer
Thank you all for the likes.
Well, this has been more than a challenge. Very frustrating. Tedious. Getting parts to align correctly. Broken parts (my fault). and the list goes on. But, at least it seems that I am over the hump of these blasted gratings and the supports. I am a glutton for punishment for painting.

Those look great.

Looking very good - maybe it was not easy to make, but the result is looking very good
Very impressive work.
Thank you all for the likes - it is very much appreciated.
These posts are for the swivel-mounted guns. Ha ! - even though there are no guns to mount.

Some more tedious and fragile parts: The Deck Railings.
Wonderful Donnie! With each addition this model gets better and better!
It seems that there is a love/hate relationship at play!
I do appreciate all the likes - but . . . .
I agree 100% - I am at the point where I just want to finish it - not a bad kit. The way I see it, it's not for the faint of heart.
Some more details. Fore Gun Port Lid and a few Ring Bolts scattered here and there.
Looking great, beautiful details.
