This is my first build log so you guys watching this. I started building POW the week after new year so i haven't done much on the kit. I will upload some pics of the work i have done so far. Unfortunately the site is not letting anybody upload pictures but i'm sure the people who run the site are on the case.

Anyway as soon as we are available to up load the pics i will be on it like a cat on a mouse.

the fore deck work in progress as you can see i have painstakingly scraped and sanded all the deck lines to allow for better adhesion for the hunters wooden veneer deck. still a lot of brass work to go on but looks ok for a start
