HMAS Vampire Build Progress

decided to build, prime and paint by sub-assembly this time, as there are nooks and crannies that will be hard to reach after full assembly 

I've only used the railings from the PE set so far.  

adding the ships boats 

decals next I think 

decals added, next weathering and a base 

 

after weathering and adding some rigging 

a watery base. some fine touchups still to do 

 

 

 

made the base directly on an acrylic display case (clear cover not in place here to avoid reflections) 

 

I think I'm calling this done for the time being. there's always more fiddling around to be done, but this was an enjoyable build so far
