    The lower hull is painted. Need to apply a 2nd coat on the upper hull. The only thing left now is install the cannons through the barbettes and build a superstructure. Either way the ship is going out this saturday (weather permitting) for her first sea trials and gunnery practice.

    Ok guys here are finally some updates on PE. The shipyard is closed down as my friend is starting to renovate his kitchen and he needs the space in the basement. With that I had Saturday morning to get what I could done before packing up everything and bringing it back home.

    The Superstructure is aboard the ship.Not completed but the basics are there. The internals just need housework. Cannon installation will take no time.

    The ship will be launched tomorrow for sea trials.

    Here are the pics enjoy...

    It will come together fast now that the model is at my beck and call right here and now!

    Hope your patient Paul. When I get going at this stage lets just say I "Like KIBBLES AND BITS" on a model.

    I tested the systems today and all went very smooth. The throttle servo needs to be secured in it's mount better but most of the internal is housework and it's minor right now at this stage. I can't wait to trail it tomorrow.

    I will get video this time from my camera and then pics.

    Cheers.
