This is shaping up very nicely.

The deicing boots look super, my friend @clipper! Great that you discovered it before decaling.

Thanks once again Spiros (@fiveten) and John (@johnb).

Today was getting the decals on the Hudson and doing a bunch of small detail painting on the Tilly. I've also started thinking about how I want to do the diorama. This photo is my first stab at an idea, but not sure yet if this is the way I am going to go. There will be some figures as well, but I need to dig them out of their box so I can play around with their positioning. I'd like the diorama to probably represent a Hudson just after returning from a patrol, but that depends upon the figures I have available.

Looks great with the decals on, Carl @clipper
Nice to see some progress on the base as well.

Sorry for the delay in posting, I have had some problems with pain in my right elbow which is making it difficult to do anything using my hands (including writing this post). I have some weathering done on the Hudson and as soon as I can get back into it, I will post an update.

Ditto from me, Carl (@clipper), hope your elbow feels better. Stuff like that always seems to prey on your mind and sap your energy. I have reached an age where something hurts almost every day, so you have this to look forward to. Cheers.

Get better soon the build is really going together beautifully Carl @clipper
