My first 'in-progess' on these hallowed forums - I'm a newby with ships - so please be gentle!

*Lot's* of learning going on.

Started a few years back - but wanting to crack on with a few other nautical projects I wanted to get this little 'un completed first.

Getting there - I think...

I think it looks neat. It's colorful, your work to date is noteworthy. I have often thought of popping for one of these kits. Thanks for posting.

That coin really puts it in perspective size wise. That's some very nice work on such a small ship, awesome!

Thanks for comments everyone - really appreciated!

Have enjoyed building this - first ship since I was a child - learning lots and gaining a little confidence.

Very different to my usual fare of large scale (1:32) aircraft models!

I've been brave at last and added some of the very fiddly photo-etched railings, along with the netting around the heli-pad on the stern.

Bit of a learning curve - and had to be in the right frame of mind - although not perfect I'm looking at this project as a learning piece in preparation for some other nautical subjects I have stashed away.

Components glued in place with PVA as that's very forgiving and allows for careful positioning. The helipad netting was bonded with superglue in key locations - with a little PVA elsewhere once in the correct position.

Off to play with something a little bigger now - my eyes need a rest!

Have fun...
