Sink the Bismarck! HMS Ark Royal, 26 May 1941

Still here.  As Bill says, work has been insane of late, and there’s been a lot of other Real Life nonsense getting in the way, so I haven’t actually sat down at my workbench in a long while.  
 

But things should be calming down in a week or two (famous last words…).  The. Bloys v. Treslong will be first, because that has a deadline.

 

But I 100% promise that Ark will not remain stalled

And  I reckon you don't mean numerous minute Swordfish warming up on the deck! 😁

I do need to get that P-38F over the line.  

 

Looking forward to that!

My lips are sealed, but I can't speak for my mate from the Midlands!

Right, you 'horrible (though very patient) lot.  Real life issues have declined somewhat, so it's time I pushed this one back to the top of the pile; work will recommence very shortly.

 

It's been a while, so here are a number of photos (in truly nasty close-up that shows every horrible detail!) to remind us of where I'd got to with the hull - a few minor bits to be fixed, but mostly OK; the port side is not yet as far advanced as the starboard. So port is likely to be what you see next.

More soon - yes, really
