A small update on my progress with the quarter badges. I mentioned earlier I was going to try and make my own instead of using the kit supplied cast metal ones. I have some cleanup work to do and there’s a decorative piece to go on the bottom of the badge but the first one is generally completed. The “rope” decoration is the remains of an old necklace from my wife. It’s kind of fitting to have something of hers on my model (and yes she knows I used it
).
A couple of photos, one of which includes the kit supplied badge as a comparison.
I am also working on the pumps, small hull details, plating and painting the rudder, and other deck items. Thanks for looking in on me.
