Thats incredible, EJ. I'm always impressed with your absolute precision... the way those sections end at the superstructure end is quite remarkable... capillary action would normally pull the glue into that entire edge, so that is an impressive bit of modelling just there.

(I will not mention that the rear of the central hatch lines up perfectly as well...!)

Unbelievable. Just awesome in true sense of the word.

EJ do you plan a dark grey bottom then?

The brown boat deck is already looking like it will be amazing sight.

Beautiful EJ! So crisp, fine and precise! :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1:
Those edges are wonderful too. I think they add a lot to the feel of the structure. :thumbs_up_1:

Did they have the 'rain gulley' strips (for want of a better term) along the outside top of them by any chance? Like on the KGVs...

Wonderful :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1:
It looks like a much bigger scale.
That will look fantastic with some paint on it... ;)

If they keep finding new stuff, you'll never be able to finish! :heh:

Truly amazing work. Your attention to the smallest details is incredible.

That folding plug is a great idea for getting such a difficult shape fitted and shaped with the highest precision. :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1:
I will remember that one!
