Nice baseboard 

 

No, an impressive build. I don't envy you cleaning up all the parts. The artwork on the gun is interesting!

Some (most? all? at least 11 )  of the Canadian Flowers had artwork on the 4" gun shield.  They're like nose art on ww2 aircraft. Mainly cartoon characters ,  a ferocious sailor holding an aircraft and a corvette, (HMCS Arvida), a cat in sailor's uniform with it's paw in a goldfish bowl with a submarine in it (HMCS Shediac) and Snowberry has Donald Duck holding a depth charge. 

 

Impressive build indeed.  I'm getting some inspiration here  to put some more detail on mine, there's some painted components in plastic bags waiting to be fitted.

 

One feature that's come out well is a good joint between the edge of the main deck (under the gun mounting and bridge) and the top of the hull.  On my one, because  the deck has to be removable to get at batteries etc, it was a real fiddle to get a reasonable fit. Lots of plastic and wooden beams underneath it...

 

Looking forward to next installment, especially how you do the handrails.

All I'll say on the Handrails is Great Little Ships
