I thought I would update you as to where I am. I haven't got as far as I would have liked what with being busy at work and I still haven't done the water test yet, but I should be ready for that in the next few weeks. I decided on making a start on the superstructure and funnels, bonded in the shaft and bow thruster. I just need to finish off cutting out the openings in the hull, but I needed a break from this as it was making me itchy! One thing I have noticed and I am not sure if its just me, but are the printings on the styrene sheet for somethings quite a way out!? I noticed on the main car deck that pieces 2 and 3 seem to be 5 mm to wide and you can really see it on when you put piece 1 and 2 next to each other. I think I would prefer better plans of the ship and some good images and no instructions or printings on the styrene.
