I used the kit parts as templates but remade the hatches and doors using my Trent and also photos for reference> That's because I felt 2 parts of 1mm styrene didn't look as good as using a combination of 1.5mm and 0.5mm for the doors and 1mm and 0.5mm for the hatches. The photo below shows some of the parts.
Next was the fiddly job of making the hinges. Patience was the order of the day here. I've still not quite finished them as I've not joined the 2 halves of the hinges together yet, but I'm not far off. A little slow progress this itme but then I have been away for a week since my last post.
Next up is the stern bar assembly...
