this build has been great to watch so far Si!

Love a good walkway, although I wouldn't want to have been one of the poor sods (ratings) ordered up there during action!

Very nice and swift work as always, Si! As Guz said, great update and nice to see her come together!

Cheers,
Jan

Great update, Si. Love to see these old warships come together.

What Gazza said: Looks tricky!

Handled nicely though

Looks great, Si.

I'm trying ti imagine how fun it was to add the stripe decals without destroying those fragile ladders.

This build really makes me want to do a Borodino at Tsushima. These are without a doubt the most interesting looking of the pre-dreadnoughts though others may look more modern.

keep up the great work!

Gaz

Si,

nice work here, too! An OOB sometimes is a very nice break to all the PE work, and still a fine model, with some additions!

Cheers,
Jan

I know what you mean about doing the simple while dealing with more complex or repetitive builds. I try now to build two different types to swap between.

I've adopted this strategy. I'm not going to live long enough to build contest-worthy versions of everything in my stash. My approach is to just get most of them built OOB and on the shelf while setting aside some favorites for a more in-depth and detailed build. At the end of the day, the only "people" who are going to inspect them are my girlfriend, my Dachshund, and my African Grey parrot. None of the three will appreciate any heroism I go to in detailing.

Good progress. I do like the shape of WW1 battleships and this one is particularly attractive.

Love the look of the decking! Nice weathered appearance.

Amazing how stuff can just disappear after so much effort on battlewagons init Si?

I've seen so many Yamato/Musashi builds falter and fall cos the builder got lost in details in the stern hangar deck and the kits abandoned due to apparent lack of progress!

But,that's not what happened here! In fact things are looking great and progress is rapid as always! I am looking forward to building Lord Nelson after seeing your build here!

BTW, I see you've gone and chopped off the plastic barrels and replaced with brass! I'm still too "chickenlicken" to attempt that on the KGV and have been finding all sorts of other things to do instead-Although I may have a "plan"!
