Well I had a cunning plan. Break it down and do 4 per day and get all 20 quad bofors knocked out this week.
I have built a grand total of 4...
They really have sapped my enthusiasm. But in an effort to restore a measure of mojo I decided I would take the 4 built ones, paint them up and install them on the ship.
Going from back to front so if I feel like doing the Catapults and crane I can without fear of breaking them later.
I think they look pretty decent.

Excellent progress Rory!
I feel your pain, though. This was exactly the kind of thing that caused me to burn out several times during the build of KGV... Example, finish the pom-poms, I'd need a break. Finish the boats, I'd need a break... Missouri seems to be so much more detailed and repetitive though
