Another tough decision, mates....
Gold (5 points) to Dade Bell this month for some serious fine detailing work...Nice!
Silver, (3 points) falls VERY closely to Peter's (peterf) equally as fine detailing to his build, but judging on progress alone for this decision...
Bronze, (1 point) to our mate Jacob Walker (redneck) for his great work and progress on his build...keep it up!
Great Job one and all, Keep Modeling!

Run steady, keep course!
It would be good to see the other contenders updates, like Guido (keep your eyes on the ball, Guido!!), but there's still time for some impressive builds here!!!
So, here's my vote:
5 points to Peter Fulgoney's 1/700 Georgios Averoff
Peter has done a very tedious job (vents) and worked on the small PE bits, that make models at this scale very interesting to look at... I understand the pain with the small triangular braces (been there, done that!). Overall a great in progress report, and looking forward for the next update!
3 poinst to Dade W. Bell's 1/700 IJN Hiryu
Dade, as usual, is taking a great attention to detail and correct and improve the base model. Even with all the PE sets, Dade has found room for improvement. Very nice railing application: flawless from what I can see. Always a treat to read and watch the updates. Keep up!
1 point to Jacob Walker's 1/350 USS Gettysburg
Jacob is keeping up his project and is putting in some nice details, as the 350th figurines inside the hangar
I also liked the previous PE details that make the subassembly looking good, with the extra details.
Let's see what December brings
Keep up, Jacob!
Commendation to Niels M. Frederiksen 1/700 IJN Yamato for his start with a difficult task (turret) and, please, don't give up. Try simple ways of Cyanoacrilate glue (fine wire applicator or any other method) and need to improve the bending of the PE parts. Keep up Niels!!!

Good amount of work on the PE railings, always a tough task in 700th,... yours look very clean.
3 points to Peter Fulgoney (Peter F)
Impressive perseverance with all that fine detail, the machine-gun platforms are brilliant!
1 point to Neils M.Frederiksen (KrokoHunter)
Good deal of work with the turret PE. I agree with Rui on your CA application. Try applying a bit of Tamiya super fine liquid glue to form a temporary bond between the plastic and the brass, and then with the part in place, apply the finest amount of fine CA to the part... Good to have you back!
