    Thanks gents. So far the fit is decent. Just working out the order of painting. Will be using ArtwoxModel wooden deck so have to plan the various sub-builds.

    Thanks Gents! Appreciate the encouragement.

    Before work each day I’m getting a few bits done. Having to work out what needs to be built before the decking goes on. Some areas with photoetch structures need a bit of figuring out. But able to put some of the bigger parts together.

    So the photoetch saga has begun. And I have to say that after a single half hour session there has been some intemperate language. Given that I have used about a squillionth of the etch so far I think I’ll have to build this once the kids have gone to bed. Note to self: everything is learning….

    A challenging thing for sure to apply all those PEs, my friend @yellow10! You are doing a splendid job, though!

    Photo etch parts are not easy to deal with at all, Paul @yellow10
    They do add a lot detail wise but are pain to apply nicely.
    Yours do look great already though.
