Hi All, So this is my first work in progress, posting is a little daunting but not as much as seeing if I can get pictures to appear correctly. Also I may not be updating quickly, I have a four year old and a four month old so time of an evening is unpredictable at best. (Admins if I'm not posting enough let me know.) So this is my second build since picking up the hobby again, my first was Zvezda's Dreadnought which I learned a lot from, I may stick a few pics in the ready for inspection if for no other reason that to record my progress. I took the view that was effectively an experiment and hopefully I'll put the lessons in to practice. So here is hopefully picture 1; This build is also an experiment as I'm trying to set it up for possible future RC conversion. Given the kit was a steal at £12 off evil bay if it all goes wrong it's not the end of the world. So part one, I've had a look over the parts for any glaring issues and it all looks pretty good aside needing a bit of a scrub to remove some smoke staining (again it was £12 so I cant complain). ICM give you a full 1/350 scale deck and profile plan which is a nice touch. I'm told that these kits have issues with some parts from different sister ships ending up on the wrong corresponding kit, given you can find pictures of the same ship on the net but with different names it doesn't lead to a lot of confidence. So with that said I'm going to take the scientific approach of guessing where I need to. The moulding looks very crisp to me and there are some impressive fine plastic parts. I'm planning on a largely OOB build with additions of Barrels from Aber and some railing from MK1 (this will be my first venture into the world of photoetch and upgrading the masts. First issue I've found is as much as its crisply moulded in places the deck doesn't actually fit! minorly disappointing having been spoiled by Zvezda with Dreadnought where the fit was so good I could have got away without any kind of glue on a lot of bits. oh I slapped a bit of primer on the lower hull. Post more tomorrow, Sam
