Hello!
My Penelope meets the sea! Sorry for my photos. I have just my phone.
I have done a lot of work with my model. I even started adding PE-parts. I have a Lot to learn...
I heard what happened to Shapeways and it is sad news. But we all (whoops, most of us) have our own 10 finger printers!!

Hello! I think I have finished the main turrets. I Have painted most of the ship. After a dark wash she should look ok. I started a waterline base that will be very dark for Norwegian sea. Have a nice weekend!!

Hello.
I started adding anti shrapnel padding. These are easy to do from strip styrene with a hobby saw. And I added some hard wood grating.

Hello,
I added some PE doors and hatches around the ship. That small tower for a searcligth was a test for my fingers...and nerves. I also dry fitted the AA guns.
