work on this project has gatered pace quite a bit lately as i am now trying to do my own modeling on weekends instead of the s&s stuff.
as i do tend to work quite quickly i have gotten quite a bit done this and last weekend, so much so that it is almost finnished.

although it needs a second coat,

the jobs need to finnish it off are the mast and radar, a deck second coat, a few containers and then the fun begins with the rusty weathering.
i may leave that for a few weeks and experiment on some other models first.
