Hi all been a long time for a up date but now have a few more pics
I missed a few photos of the stern gun mounts sorry
in these photos the gun mounts and side rails have been made and glued in place
here the anchor slide and under side for the turrets are in place
this part was not clear in the instructions looking at how it was set out it was 2 different part for the model. but I found out that it needs to be doubled over so the part is black on both sides. then punched a small hole through the centre then glued under the machine gun decks
now started on the first part of the bridge deck here are the parts cut out the glued in position

Looks really good.
I merged the four posts into one, but it messed the photos up so I edited them back in again. Hope I got them in the right places.
Looking like a ship now Russel

had a few day to do a bit more to the ship
next step was the navigation deck decided not to color the nave light going to treat the wife to chocolates with the different wrappers and pinch a green and red one to make it look like glass
then the forward capstan bit fiddle as the widest point was only 5mm
glued in place but the main spine of the ship makes it slanted GRRRR
now the rest of ladders put in place. the lazer cut extras are good but i think next time i will use the provided ladders because it is next to impossible to get the rungs straight as they only measure 2mm by 3mm. as you can see it in the photos. did use the provided ladders for the forecastle

sorry for the long time for the update but the wife has got me building a nursery instead of my models lol
first up date was the pain in the back side small boxes measuring form 2mm to 5mm forming a lot of the upper deck
second update is a navigation deck with the first mast put in place. as the mast was flimsy i used fuse wire running through the middle to git it a bit more stability
More updates soon when the wife allows me to pmsl
