Hello again,
Thank you all for your comments so far, you are making me feel very welcome here at SimmersPaintShop.
I have been chiselling away at her today and thought you would like to see. Lots still to do, rivets to finish, glass to sort out, turrets..... the list goes on and on. I'm working my way thru the huge "to do" list for it. I'm treating each little bit as an individual project and solving it as I come to it, but it's proving heavy going.

At this stage I don't even know if I will finish it!

It looked so easy to start with but very very quickly it has started to overwhelm. I think as long as I can see progress, it will keep me inspired to do more.
