Before he left for Fern, Grayson had finished plating the hull of his battlecruiser - all the way down the port side and almost all the way on the starboard side. Spent nearly a full day adding each piece, and what I particularly liked was that as he went on he used smaller and smaller strips, which do a better job following the hull countours, and will be easier to putty and sand. You could see him learning as he worked his way along.
