Today's progress.
There the four pairs of etched davits that carry the quarter boats straight off the fret.
In hindsight the background for these wasn't brilliant, bit I didn't to move them around to much, the bend point at the lower end is very fragile.
The first one bent to shape & test fitted.
All eight davit test fitted, yes I know some of them are a bit wonky, but no glue was harmed in taking this photo.
The railing for the Admiral's walk bent to shape with the top rail fitted.
Painted and fitted in place,
The davits & davit bars painted, and the basic paint job on the boats.
The washes & dry brushing on the boats, oars have been added to the uncovered boat, the tiller sat on rear seat was made from an etched paddle with a whole drilled in it, shortened and shaped.
As I said in my last post, there were "a few things I have likely forgotten" well this one of them, the etched rigging on the Pontos fret for the davits on the gangway.
Painted & ready to go, these are going to be fun to get in place!
Hope to have another update later this week.
Cheers
