Early Progress from 2003

Drilling of holes into the Cannons....

Small aren't they....

Into the new Spray Booth. Found another use for Blu-Tac ^^^^

Starting to detail hulls...

It 2 1/2 hours to paint those Gold Details, and thats the first side.

One of my original reasons for shelving this build was the lack of availability of the recommened Clearfix at the time for use in the rigging. Also for some strange reason, I thought it would be a good idea to actually glaze the windows, and proceeded to chop out the moulded ones with an Xacto knife. I can recall that the task was very tedious - I hadn't bought any power tools at that stage. So with those two hurdles, I gradually lost interest in the build and it has remained boxed up until now.

My first and second attempts at the rigging with both Clearfix and PVA glue has made a right mess, so I shall be getting some more thread this weekend, before I attempt other methods.

Here is my first attempt.
