Thanks fellas  :)

will it be flying at salute?  :-* :-*

No idea, it won't be mine for much longer  :)

Finished the weathering. Just a few details, railings and remembering to bring home the fins, prop and superstructure from work and we're done  :)

The weathering brings it all together very nicely. ;D

Fantastic modelling James !   Real quality stuff and very desirable.  Actually I would use the word 'professional' which seems appropriate.

I would mention that deck planks on cut Mars usually are supplied in standard lengths of 12.3' and the 2 butt shift system of laying the planks you have depicted is common on Mars but rarely seen on earth, so appropriate for a vessel constructed in local yards.  :`

I take it you are just completing the ready use ammo lockers for the 6pdr hotchkiss guns of course  ;)

Love the bottom though, a work of art in itself. :-*.  Well done!

I'm glad you spotted that, I didn't think anybody would...
