Bringing back to life a thread that already should have been closed. I have repainted the bottom of the ship into grey, but decks of course are kept grey not brown.
I tried to use same color I had mixed for the hull, but lightened it up a little. I need to do a few more touchups - the ship was built back when I didnt use foolishly magnifying glasses, so now that I see on closeup all the issues I plan to go over it and fix them. Good weekend project.
The lower hull was red in past, and not really with any good detail. I think now it is improved in terms of texture also. I would need new depth gauge markings perhaps, but may be no need. What do you think?

Looks very good indeed! I always love some clutter; it always brings extra live to a model. Cheers, Marijn

Added the timber storage to the funnel. It is not super accurate but adds visual detail I think and also make the ship a little more "alive". I just chopped up a bunch of toothpic parts and mixed it up with some discarded PE bits and wire to make it a little less homogeneous. PS. Yeah, I was lazy to rebuild the wire antennas I figured this area looked to be holding a lot of rigging and I wanted it to be strong. Cutting corners.

with added hull plating detail, using paints basically. It came off a little off scale but I think better than the dull red hull on its own.
Still need to these few things: - install the lifeboats on the upper deck - reposition carley floats on the forward funnel - add timber storage around aft funnel - may be add metal barrels as the 3D printed ones look to be sagging a little bit, not nice - add flag staffs - make flags - built up main mast upper part radar (that part has been broken off too many times I care to admit) - add biscuit life preservers somewhere... not sure where
Pretty much it. I know there is some inaccuracies here and there but by this point I gotta call it, as it has been a year long project.

The small update is Im now rebuilding the aft mast to make the derrick crane low position. it is a forced measure, after I dropped the mast into a tool box, closed the tool box and cue a lot of swearing a week after I couldnt find it on the ship... It was so silly. Now I gotta rebuild the upper mast with antennas and the crane with its gears. oh well. I was lucky that some parts were reinforced in brass and core survived, including the delicate starfish. The best bit I did was coating it in PVA glue before painting, and it held up. So thats a lesson, never build PE without PVA reinforcement where possible.

Closer and closer to completion. Need to install sea boats and davits, and get to railings and rigging. Flyhawk 1/700 railings manual is NOT available in the PE set I bought, if anyone has instructions how to place railings please let me know! Really it seems like my manual is missing a page, despite that it is 4/4 according to Flyhawk. Very frustrating manual as it is, and missing number of instructions make it even tougher. These are iphone zoom pics so excuse the poor quality. Once the ship is finished I will make sure to use a proper camera for this and set my lighting a little better.
