    Trying to keep everything straight has become the main challenge of this build. The locator pins to aline the decks cause problems, so it's better to get rid of them and eyeball the whole affair.

    Aft mast deck railings. I think these were the hardest of the PE steps for this kit. Using the matte medium for glueing the photo etch is a game changer for me.

    It's hit or miss at the Hobby Lobby nowadays. I scored this past Saturday there, though. They had Mr Cement, CA glue and the Matte Medium on the shelves.

    Trying something new for me. Saw another modeller that swears by using Matte medium as an adhesive for Photo etch and bonding pre painted parts with out fear of globs of glue showing or messing up the paint work, as it's acrylic and dries flat and clear. Still have to tack the photo etch in...

    Yep, almost all ship modeling builds begin with wrestling the hull. Looking good 👍 If you want some mind blowing ship modeling inspiration check out a ship modeller on YouTube channel "Amegraphy"

    It butts up to the forward stack.

    Getting more PE on the foremast. Btw, I'm liking the new bender.

    The two blade method served me well. However my right hand has gotten a tiny bit shaky. Thinking the DSPIAE bender will give me more control.

    "Moving on up"... Broke down and bought my first PE bender tool. Already regretting not getting the longer one. Christmas is coming, though and this should get most bending jobs done.

    Compass Rose.

    Btw, I took some flak on a few modelling sites for my painting process on the Battleship Texas build. However the measure 21 camouflage scheme, 5N on vertical surfaces and 20B on the decks are so close in color I didn't see the point in doing it the "right" way of sub assembly painting. It came...

    Damage is inevitable. It's just part of the build...lol.
