I'm glad that at least we have got a good bit of superstructure to come between the planking otherwise it would be a real drag having about 20 weeks with nothing but planking and more planking.............. I also think that all the deck pieces could have been sent in one issue but then Hachette have got to make their millions out of us some way! Also I hope that the stand that is coming at part 24 is only a temporary one as it looks a bit flimsy and cheap.

Any chance in showing us them to also include the build from 43 -51 in the same way Paul has?

Hi Steve, 'fraid not - that was all I was sent. I guess Paul will post the build steps as soon as he has them available.
Hi Chris, I'm guessing (wildly at that !!) that they are part of the main turrets. Could be completely wrong there of course....... The etched metal parts are not too difficult to paint, although it can be difficult getting paint to take to brass. On the Titanic I used Halfords car primer to prime them. That sticks well. After they are primed it's just the same as painting anything else.
The 'professional answer' is to use an etch primer, which is a primer with a mild acid that etches into the metal. However, I found that Halfords primer works well and is a lot less messing about.

I did the same on the Titanic and the Granado (but there they supplied some etching primer, but when it ran out I used the car primer with no noticeable difference).
