Airfix 1/600th Scale Mauritannia Hospital ship

This is the Airfix 1/600 Mauritannia with x2 sets of Toms model works railings for merchant ships sets.I have added all the inter deck stanchions from plastruct rod stock and rigged it with Uschi Van De Rosten standard rigging line ,added rigging attachment points for the funnels from fine copper wire twisted around a 0.3 mm drill bit. The masts were replaced with shaped cocktail sticks. All painted in a combination of Revell Aqua ,  new Humbrol (the stuff made in UK in the 18ml pots which is really good) and oils for the deck effects .Also all the portholes were drilled out and windows filled and replaced with paper ones printed on a laser printer , cut out individually, then attached with thinned pva glue.
