The hatch cove is a work of art in itself. Building in wood and metal is so different to plastic and other materials: I take my hat off to a true master modeller.

On hindsight, the wood I used for the basic frame, is not that quite good on quality.
It is too brittle, I will have to do some work on that one. On the other hand, not that much will be shown once ( partially ) covered.
