Well here is the finished product.... I didn't take any progress shots of the Zero 'cause It was already built. I just got stuck into the painting and decals over the past week, so a lot of the work was already done when I started the deck and I switched between them as I went along.....

Enjoy.....I still have FIVE more...but only 1 more carrier deck set.!

Same method as the deck, the 'click' pencil, and a piece of 600 grade sandpaper to keep a fine chisel point, AND most importantly a very steady hand....!!! Let me tell ya it was not difficult but...strewth oh so small!!!

I agree, keep your pants on Dan. The last time they came off the whole block was pregnant.

Wayne Excellent job.

Les, don't listen Plan D. He was the man involved in the block activity.
To be honest I admire him.

Beautiful, Wayne! If the photo was cropped just right, it would be difficult to tell it is a model.
