Thank you very much ;-)

Some progress again. I completed the remaining superstructure railings (except the one around the aft 36in searchlight), knitted the anchor chains, placed most of the rigging (without insulators yet) and done some other small things.

What remains are the catapults + Kingfishers, a jack-staff, cable insulators and couplers, whip antennas, main dack railings, flags and repair of the damage I noted in the photos :-)

Steve, you are too kind! Thank you very much!

The ship itself is essentially done. What remains is a crew. However, as this has been a really long run, I will handle it together with a next build.

Wonderful work!
Very clean with crisp details, nice, subdued colours, fine rigging.
