This ship has been under construction for 9 months, it from DeAgostini. I like the instructions, very through for an idiot like me, but still made mistakes. This has been the progress. Has been a learning experience.

Another superb SR that I will follow with pleasure
Thats a big and difficult model to undertake. Great work so far.
Got the port side stern upper galley shaped, sanded and sealed. Soaked parts overnight to make pliable. Slowly but surely.
Painting continues on the starboard side. Takes several coats to cover.
A little more work on the stern this weekend.
Made up a wash solution for all the brass decorative pieces.
