    Been far to long since I posted a project on here!

    Going to be building this one in modules or "blocks" like they do in shipyards, starting with the bow

              Thanks Rich, Agreed this is a ship ton of work so to say!

              A few more blocks added, starting with the curved bilge block at hold 4, followed by the double bottom tank for hold 5 and its curved bottom blocks, which are seen shaping up towards the stern.

                          The first lower block for the engine room has been built and installed, im aiming to have fairly simply models for all the mayor components in here, not sure about piping just yet, but I am to add as much detail as possible here!
