The detailing has begun ... from my last ship I know that I best work from one "compartment" to the next. In this case I decide to start filling in the bridge details. Hmm ... a 40mm tall director control tower has taken some 8 hours and I am not done yet. And I have to see if all the work actually will be discernible, as "rivets" of 0.3 mm diameter have a tendency to disappear in the background. We will see. Here's halfway, with still another side ladder and such to do and to place rivet lines around the tubular shape.
Never thought my geometry lessons of decades ago would come in handy

I printed three of which two were successful. The third got lost in the resin tank: good opportunity to clean the machine .
To bring things in perspective I always place one or two sailors on the model. I’m still looking for sailors in typical North Atlantic gear in 72 scale, so for now I use my lone sailor (US) model.
All is still loose parts and most even without primer. Another lesson learned: making sure it all fits and is of high quality before getting the CA out.
