Thanks Simon,
weekends are generally the most productive for me as far as model building is concerned. With this monster there seems to be miles and miles of railings, life rafts etc.

I certainly am enjoying Daniel, easy to load programs, books and music and everything works
A very stark contrast to the "Crapple" which IMHO is a clunky piece of overpriced junk.

Ahoy Julian
Loving your work and your battles with technology - "crapple" I must remember that one.
Cheers

Hi Sean, yes, I gave up on "Job's Masterpiece" a while ago. Glad you liking the build so far, Gremlin56

March 16th update:
In spite of goofing off and playing around with other new toys I have been working on the Hornet Hangar deck is very nearly closed off from the elements 
Just one section to go. Fit is very near perfect considering the multiple parts that have to fit to close of the hangar. The paint work needs blending and weathering to make it a whole, now you can see the difference between weathered hull and pristine bulkheads. The airwing is an amazing amount of work. I went to town on the first Devastator, razor sawing the folding section of the wings off and fitting a brass wire hinge to display it with wings folded. The hangar deck should look suitably crowded with all the aircraft in position.
Time for a glass of wine and a replay of the Australian Grand Prix, Nico Rosberg did a great job and Red Bull apparently have at long last been caught out at something strange with the fuel flow sensor. Have to watch this
Ps the canopy of the Devastator looks as if the glue job to fix it to the fuselage is rather grungy. That is because the Gator Grip Glue hasn't dried properly yet. When its dry you wonder how the canopy stays in place.

Lots of controversy over Ricciardo's disqualification, Julian...
Will there be the same level of controversy when you try to smuggle the 1/200 Missouri past Mrs Gremlin?

Hi Russell, its a pity Daniel got chopped off like this on his first grand prix. I disliked Red Bulls treatment of Mark Webber the last few years in general and old "stinky finger" Vettel with his whining spoilt kid voice on the pits radio in particular. I would love it if Daniel gave Vettel a run for his money. So, having gotten that off my chest, no, no chance of the Mighty Mo being smuggled into Casa Sallows. After the Hornet and Bismarck are finished it will be back to a more storable size model for me.
Cheers mate

March 23rd uodate:
More catwalks to fit along the hull side just below the flightdeck. Also nearly finished inside the hangar bay as far as the model goes. I found the hangar bulkheads rather flimsy looking though so I have bought a couple of packs of Evergreen I-beam strips which I will use to "beef-up" the bulkheads.
The Hornet keeps getting bigger and bigger and is really already slightly out of my comfort zone 
This is a huge model and an equally big challenge:
Time for a nicely chilled South American Chardonnay to ponder on my building sins..............

Thank you Simon,
I seem to be getting the hang of using Gator Grip Glue with PE.
Hope Kenny gets in contact soon about a new supply though because the end of my store of GGG is rapidly coming into sight.

Hi my friend, any excuse to open a South American wine is a good reason
It's a pity you couldn't taste this one though, it was really excellent

It's a two person lift anyway Russell
Like Elvis would say: "Man, that suckers huge", The Chardonnay was excellent. I love the South American, Australian and New Zealand takes on the old world grapes. Sometimes they are so powerful you need to drink them with a knife and fork
