Thanks Mike.
After filling and sanding the deck to hull joins I'm adding the fiddly bits and started some PE. The Harpoon launcher cradles needed replacement and I added the hawse pipe vent covers and capstan brake wheels and splash shields. Most of the rest of the PE are railings and radar.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting the head off a Hydra, two more take it’s place.

Glad to see progress!
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Don’t know how you guys do these. Very nice.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Would you write a bit about the Flexible CA? That looks useful. Your ability to work with these small pieces is nothing short of amazing to me.
