Starting to look like a ship

I added the forward turret since I wanted to add the walkway between the foredeck and the main superstructure. In order to do that, the turret had to be in place. At this point, a great deal of work is going to start cascading...before I can apply A, I have to apply B etc. This is where resin kits can become difficult because there really isn't an assembly sequence. But then real modelers don't need instructions right?


The next pic shows the funnels in place. Everything in the pic is glued down at this point. The funnels have wire added to the sides to detail it, as well as the photo-etch grille on top. Note that the 6" gun on the forward part of the superstructure has been sanded down a little... this was to allow the bridge deck to sit level.
