in the homestretch... i did add some 1/200 railing where railings should be , a couple of more watertight doors , ladders. did a bunch of touchup painting. i used krylon grey satin primer as the main color, so it acts a little different than the hobby acrylics. to touch up i had to spray paint into a plastic cup and go from there with a brush so i had a match. got the turrets installed. im still working on the mast assemblies. waiting on decals from china, and a coupe of aftermarket doodads. i will finish off with the main deck rail... generic 1/200 stuff. turning out to be a sleek looking vessel. i used some brass sprue off a PE sheet to cover the deck seams. once painted they will look like expansion joints. i used some 1/350 ladder and rail on the director platform.. looked right
