I blew the photo up (not the ship ) but couldn't find any circular pattern on the deck.

beefy66 Posted August 24, 2020 Author Share Posted August 24, 2020 Roger and John thanks again for such quick replies I think from looking at the LÉ Orla she underwent a few changes from the time I want to portray Swift so a white X marks the spot Cheers Lads beefy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beefy66 Posted September 7, 2020 Author Share Posted September 7, 2020 Well things have slowed on this build just have to wait for the layers of gel to set to build up the base. Not quite the Cruel Sea version @longshanks is stunningly creating but it is definitely very Blue Don't be fooled by how bright it is this will darken down when curing.

Dancona Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 This is looking very good, its a great little kit and you are certainly doing it justice (you have gone further than I did, ...what with the ladder rungs under the bridge......serious respect there dude !!).
